Jenny and Craig were married April 30, 2011 at Willow Oaks Country Club www.willowoakscc.org. They were by far one of the nicest and easiest couples I have worked with so I would like to share their story with you.
Bill Gilliam from Choice Entertainment www.choiceentertainment.com mc and dj for the event, had the ingenuity to confer with the couple and create a funny story based on how they first met. The following is what he read out loud to the bride and groom and their guests during the reception.
Their story involved a chance meeting, a natural disaster, a classic movie, an aging rock star and blossoming love.
Back in August of 2005, Jenny and Craig met when mutual friends happened to run into each other at a bar. Craig began talking to Jenny, but when she found out he had family in Chicago she steered him over to to another girlfriend who used to live in Chicago. After a few minutes, Craig worked his way back to Jenny and eventually asked for her number. As she jotted her number on a napkin, Craig fed her a classic line from, Forrest Gump, I'm not a smart man Jenny..." Hmm Jenny thought, cute and a sense of humor, but I'm still not all that excited about dating. A few days later, Hurrican Katrina hit New Orleans and Craig called Jenny leaving her a voice mail saying "Don't worry, they found Fats Domino and he's okay." Now she was sold and the first date ensued.
After 4 dates Jenny knew she was falling for this witty guy and, for Craig, in spite of his promise to himself not to date a woman with a cat, felt the same. 10 months later they moved in together and 2 short years later, Jenny had Craig actually washing dishes. No one knows why it took 3 more years for Craig to propose, but finally propose he did, and on their 5 year anniversary, Craig proposed in front of the Governor's Mansion in Williamsburg.
