“This is the first couple I am posting about whose meeting I take credit for. I dragged the groom, Thomas, who was basically my roommate at the time (because my then boyfriend lived with him) along with me to a friend's house for a barbecue. Julie, the bride, was also at the barbecue. Thomas and I had never met Julie before, which was unusual because most people living in the metro Detroit area know each other. I can say first hand that this beautiful couple were in love from the minute they laid eyes on each other. They said I love you after only two weeks of knowing each other and moved in together a few months later. It's now been three years and tonight they married. I'm so happy I was able to attend their wedding and watch the next chapter of their fairytale unfold.”
