“Maybe you’ll meet the woman you are going to marry today,” a friend of Steve’s joked as they walked along the golfing green at a benefit. Steve laughed and shook his head. He had other things to think about. Being the assistant minority representative in the MN house of Representatives brought enough, and it was not the day that he was going to meet “the one”. Especially at a golfing benefit.
A woman’s cheerful laugh caught his attention. He looked over and then looked again. She was smiling, beautiful, and then she caught his eye. Steve’s friend ,now known to all as, Chip, knew the lobbiest and introduced the two. They chatted throughout the day together and flirted like crazy. He asked he out for a drink after the benefit and she agreed. The two quickly realized that they had a lot in common. After a few years of dating, one night Steve brought Leia out on the deck of their home. Watching the sunset over the city, he proposed. Their January wedding day was beautiful! Oranges, pinks, reds, blacks and whites were woven throughout the the day as was lots of laughter and joy.
Thank you Steve and Leia for including me in your big day. You were beautiful and I wish you both all the best!
