Our Wedding

Now, here is a love story of chance!&#160; 
 
Two paramedics working with Acadian Ambulance, away from the place they grew up in. A beautiful lady from North Carolina. and a rough looking fella from down under. 
 
Jenny and Chris met the moment Jenny was starting her ambulance shift and walked up to Chris's ambulance asking "Is this my truck?" 
Chris was instantly lost in the beauty of this amazingly beautiful woman, with a different accept to the normal in the area.&#160; Chris fell head over heels for Jenny and was wondering how he could meet up with her again. 
 
As luck would have it, the&#160; two would see each other again, Chris was called to assist Jenny on a medical call and after the call Chris checked on Jenny, which she thought was sweet but weird, because other paramedics do not do this.
 
Jenny's and Chris's friendship soon became solidified. The two grew with time, first at a distance but soon became closer in feelings and proximity. 
 
Ever since that moment, the two lovebirds have become each other's biggest supporter, greatest confidant, and continuing to grow in love with each day.
 
and with that little story, they would love for you all to join them in their magical day as they wed and say "I do!"

12 years ago Chris met Rick at RAAF base Williamtown. Rick was a UN ANG security police guarding a few F-16's visiting from Iowa. 
Chris and Rick hit off and enjoy a couple of nights on the nice cold aussie beers and bundy rum. 
Since Chris arrived in the states, in typical military fashion these Teo have not caught up to have a round of drinks. So this year is the year. Chris says it is a honor to have Rick join him and the grooms party on a hugely special day.
