Reception

Our Wedding

It was a vibrant day of running calls in Calvert County, MD. June 26th, 2018. Karen was interning on the Paramedic unit at CALS and Richard was just hanging around the station at North Beach Volunteer Fire Department, when all of a sudden...a call drops. The call was for a person struck by a vehicle on a bicycle. Quickly Karen rushes to the scene in the medic unit with lights flashing and horns blaring. Its quite a far drive to the scene, approximately 30 minutes from Prince Fredrick. But have no fear, Richard was there to save the day....on the ambulance. Richard rushed to the scene to help this man. On arrival, it was quite clear that a helicopter would be needed and was quickly requested. The Eagle was coming!!! Richard had quickly moved the patient into the back of the ambulance where he tried, his best to render care on this poor patient, when all of a sudden, a breath of fresh air opened the door and a redhead stepped into the unit. As Richard paused, breathtakingly, he quickly began to give a report on the patient. Karen was captured by how calm and professional this handsome blue-eyed firefighter. She thought who even is this guy. Shortly later, the patient was flown to a trauma center. They both did their best to help that man that day. However, a far bigger thing happened, true love began. Not knowingly they would forever be together.

The tragic love story of how we met...
