RECEPTION

Our Wedding

Picture it...East Islip High School 1992...a young vibrant girl walks down the music hallway. She enters the full orchestra room and sits in front of the viola section and sets up her instrument. Shortly after, a tall athletic boy with flowing blonde hair and bright blue eyes walks in and sits behind the girl. They never really speak. They know of each other, have a few friends in common, but never really interact. She knows him as the smart and quirky soccer player. He knows her as the pretty dancer. Two years of this knowing each other, but just in passing dance, happened until he graduated and went off to college. Twenty-one years would go by before their paths would cross again. One night the girl, now a woman, gets a message from the boy, now a man, on a dating site. It was her WORST fear that someone from high school would reach out to her on a dating website. But, when she realized it was "just" JC Hood, she thought "oh I know him, he was nice, I'll respond." Shortly after that first message the two exchanged numbers and reconnected. Their first date was breakfast at Maureen's Kitchen. They began talking daily and then JC said they "needed to talk". At first Lillian thought he was married, had a kid, was moving out of the state...all the cliche things a girl could think of when the guy wanted to end it. But JC's bomb was that he was having knee replacement surgery in two weeks and would understand if Lillian didn't want to continue seeing him since he wouldn't be able to do much. In shock and then relief followed by laughter, Lillian said "well that's ridiculous JC. We can still date and get to know each other better while you recover." And so began their shared love of watching Santa Clause movie marathons, cooking together, and learning to lean on each other. The pair made it official on 11/25/2017 and by the Spring of 2018 they moved in together. Lillian enjoyed watching JC play softball and bowl. The two began to travel to his softball tournaments together and that's when their love of going to Disney World began. Every year they go to Disney for the holidays as JC knows how special the Christmas season is to Lillian. He gets her Christmas crazy and even though he is the bigger Disney person and the one that keeps adding to their Christmas decorations, it's a big part of who they are as a couple. Now, SEVEN YEARS LATER...after going through many ups, downs, and the unexpected turns life can bring...they have built a family with their three fur babies: London Pixie Paws, Isabella Poppy Bottom, &amp; Teeti Twinkle Toes. JC knows when to bring Lillian Toffifay or pistachio ice cream, and Lillian knows when JC needs popcorn or M&amp;M's. They are ready to tie the knot and share this special day with their loved ones!
