The Parish House on Union

CEREMONY FOLLOWED BY RECEPTION

Our Wedding

Tracey previously worked at a veterinary clinic in West Lafayette and got to know Carri and Julie Wilson since they brought their beloved cat, Simon, in as a patient.&nbsp;Carri was also a bad ass anesthesia tech at Purdue and soon she and Julie opened 4 Precious Paws Spay and Neuter Clinic and Rescue. Tracey is very passionate about dog and cat rescue and got to know Carri and Julie better while moonlighting for them during vaccine clinics and fostering two indescribably special dogs for them (Wally and Teddy…RIP).&nbsp;&nbsp;One day Julie text Tracey asking if she’d be interested in meeting her ex sister-in-law’s brother, Ryan, who she described as handsome, fun, and loyal with a great sense of humor.&nbsp;After the appropriate amount of Facebook and MyCase research and talking with friends over adult beverages, she responded to Julie indicating she was interested.&nbsp;&nbsp;Shortly after that, Ryan text her and they agreed to meet at DT Kirby’s at 7. They both almost chickened out, but in the end decided to give it a shot. Tracey told her dogs that she’d be home by 9pm, but despite the ridiculously uncomfortable chairs at DT Kirby’s they ended up sitting and talking like old friends and closed the place down.&nbsp;How well they got along surprised them both.&nbsp;Initially they took things slowly but soon they were inseparable and even the most scared of Tracey’s rescue dogs loved Ryan immediately….and they have remained madly in love ever since.

All Thanks to Rescue Dogs, Ex-In-Laws, and a Blind Date
