Our Story

Lori says: I've known Kathy since, well basically, birth. We were born a month apart, and were neighbors for the a short time in Oglesby. But for most of our lives, we've lived in different states. In fact, with her in South Carolina and me in California, we couldn't get much farther! But she's been my best friend through it all. I'm so excited that she'll be standing up for me at my wedding as she continues to be one of the most important people in my life.

 James says: Mike is the brother I've always wanted. The sailor who reminded me that you can learn anything you want if you want it bad enough. The friend you know will never let you down when you're in need. The man who pushes you when life tells you it can't be done. An honorable man by all accounts, even on our worst days.
