The Lovely Couple

Two of my very best friends...

Sharon and I were at Hazen ABATE (June '04) checking out the 69 Band when Slim happened to stroll by. They seemed to hit it off, so our next get together was the Clarion County Fair for a bus demolition derby (July ‘04). But it was Halloween (2004) when Slim had to save Sharon from a very drunk and horribly obnoxious Shug that it finally took. Maybe they realized that pretending to be a couple felt kind of right. Maybe it was their practice honeymoon in Florida (December '05), that made them realize that a real honeymoon may someday be in their future. No matter how it happened, we are all glad that it did!

Slim’s been a close friend of mine for around 15 of the 30 years that we have known each other. While we never went as far as breaking into parking meters as his mom always worried might happen, we have had our share of mischief through out the years. Slim is one of those few people on Earth that I love unconditionally and could never do wrong in my eyes.

Sharon has been like a little sister to me through out the years. She is one of my friends that I know I can count on to be there any time, day or night. She knows more about me than most people and I know that my secrets are safe with her. I can only hope that she feels the same and that I didn't disappoint her too much as her Maid-of-Honor! At any rate, I am utterly pleased to officially be able to call her a part of the family!

As for the wedding, well, how many brides have friends willing to wear a hot-pink teddy (with hair to match) as they carry her train down the aisle? How many weddings include the women in the bridal party dying their hair to match their dresses? Or a bride with hair matching the colors of ALL of the dresses? They said it couldn’t be done~but as all that were there know, it was absolutely fantastic! A wedding as unique as the couple!

442 pictures later~over 27 hours of downloading them to Photoworks albums + editing, adding titles, organizing~they are finally ready to view! The smaller pictures shown are all found in the albums, in the event that you would wish to view them larger. Enjoy and please feel free to add comments~just be sure to leave your name while you are there! Also take a moment to sign their guestbook. Thanks!

And so, finally, I stand by the statement that for those that believe nothing good can come out of ABATE~seeing how happy Slim and Sharon are together, definitely makes one change their mind! I mean really, how many couples can get away with matching outfits and people actually think it is cute and not cheesy? These two were just meant to be together! :)
