The Stalker and The Runner say "I Do"

If you were to tell me 3 years ago that this would have unfolded the way it did, I think I would have laughed in your face. You always joke about meeting some random stranger and being swept away on this heartfelt, romantic love affair. How about falling for the strange bald man that comments on your Iowa State t-shirt at a downtown Starbucks? That one sentence of "Nice shirt", brought these two a love started on their obsession of coffee. Now, 3 years later, I got the privilege of being a part of their next chapter.

These two complete one another more than PB&J. It's amazing to witness pure and wholesome happiness. To watch two people fall so crazy in love for one another, that it makes everything seem possible. In the 3 years, 10 months and 9 days I have known Jana, I haven't seen as happy as she is today. She is naturally a happy-go-lucky person but Jeff makes her smile to the point you can see her gum's and all the fillings that reside in her mouth! =) You can't help but find yourself doing the exact same thing in their presence. I can be having the worst day and they can turn it all around for me. I usually leave with my side hurting from all the laughter. They fit together like a perfect puzzle. One where no pieces are missing or pieces that have to be forced into place. They make everyone around them, want what they have. I am thankful to God everyday, I have found my glue that holds me together. Ok, I am starting to talk like a Hallmark movie. I just want to say:

Congratulations to Jana and Jeffery! I love you both very much! Thank goodness I remembered that weird man at Starbucks on that fateful day! I wish you many pumpkin spice lattes in your future!


**I do have a Matron of Honor Speech. I am still not sure if a re-do will happen, but I will post it if not!**

Here are some photos that are from that day. I am not a photographer by any means but I offered my services....thankfully, they turned out okay.

OMG Sarah, you are the most darling person! You brought tears to my eyes while reading that! Thank you so much for your love and your friendship. I don't know what I would do without you in my life or our lives. We are so blessed that you find us people you want to be friends with. What a beautiful thing to say about us! I meant to have you say something on that wonderful Tuesday, but I didn't want to put you on the spot if you didn't want to. I will have to pass this blog onto my father so he can learn how to do this!! :) We love you and Michael Sarah! What amazing people we have in our lives! <3
