Wedding of Jared and Miranda Ledford

Fall

Our Wedding

<p>I was on college leave, living in Chattanooga when I came back to Food city gray to visit my work friends when I was home for thanksgiving. I immediately spotted the new cashier, Jared and asked around for any info on him. In December, I came back to work and began working most of my shifts with Jared as his manager and we became close friends. Eventually, I put a bug in our boss's ear to promote Jared to manager as well and I got to train him. We began talking every day and by December the next year, he asked me to be his girlfriend. Now, after 4 years of dating, he has asked me to be his wife.</p>
