REAL WEDDINGS | Cindy & Roger
How did you two meet? We have known each other since the 7th grade. Neither one of us were interested in the other, until one day, we were at my best friend's 15th birthday party. We met up and were reacquainted, however, nothing happened. However, a year later, we met up again at her 16th birthday party. There was more flirting and more talking even after the party. We started hanging out with one another (plus friends) and began chatting on AIM and on the phone.
I decided that I was done playing games and wanted to know flat out if Roger was interested. So, I wrote him a letter and decided to give it to him the day they went to see X-Men the movie. Before Roger leaves to go home, the letter is in his jacket pocket and my best friend mentions to Roger to look in his pocket as he boards the bus. The rest is history…
How long was your engagement? We got engaged on our 9th year anniversary and got married on our 10th year anniversary. So we were engaged for exactly one year. The engagement was a complete surprise to me. I assumed that after dating Roger for so long, I would not be surprised when it was time for him to ask me. But yet, he surprised me yet again.
What inspired your wedding theme? We wanted a Gatsby styled wedding since the location reminded us of that era. We had 1950’s type of music during our cocktail hour like Frank Sinatra, Louie Armstrong, Michael Buble, etc.
What inspired your wedding color pallet? Purple and green were the wedding colors; my favorite color is purple and loved how the green complimented the purple.
What was special about where you got married? The reception location only catered to one wedding at a time, which we both felt was more personal and unobtrusive. The location was conveniently located yet secluded once you approach the entrance that led to a long scenic driveway.
