Reception

Our Wedding

In true southern style, we met at cotillion at the age of sixteen and seventeen. Kenny had just recovered from a tragic accident and Peyton did not hesitate to ask him all the details. Two weeks later, as Peyton whirled around the dance floor, Kenny descended the stage and tapped Peyton's partner on the shoulder, asking if he may cut in. When Peyton noted that Kenny had come down from his usual DJ position on stage, Kenny replied "I came down for you." Since then, we have danced through life together and are finally ready to make it official as husband and wife twelve years later.
