It was European History, she said. That's the class that started it all for them. He was older and she, well, she was the girl the professor hated. Not because it was her, but more along the lines that this professor inparticular despised most females. Fallon didn't have a chance.
Y knew there was something about this girl that peaked his interest. Every time she walked in it's as if his attention gravitated towards her, but he couldn't bring himself to actually make a converstaion wtih her. European History, that'll be it. And that's how it started. A small conversation about European History and their friendship stuck. Although, it turned out to be much more than a friendship.
Fallon and Yves worked for the same company, only... he turned out to be her boss. He was called in and told there was a problem with one of his employees and he needed to address it, immediately. Rumor was, she was dating another employee which was strictly against company policy. His heart sank. HE was the fellow employee she was in a relationship with. HE was her boss. And now HE was in charge of taking care of the issue. Not a good combination...but he knew what he had to do.
Six years later these two are happily married and with much thanks to one particular mean professor. And a particular interest in European History.
You may remember Fallon from a previous wedding this summer. She is an absolute treat!

Please? Can you please get me in touch with Sallie, he said to her best friend. I’m leaving to fly back to Oklahoma tomorrow and I desperately need my hair cut by her. The night before he saw her amongst friends and was fascinated. By her grace. Her laughter. And simply put, her presence. It didn’t go his way though. Sallie was off the market and showed no interest in Heath. So what’s a guy to do? It’s 2010. He, like any other normal person, stalked her Facebook. He waited for that infamous moment when her relationship status changed from ‘in a relationship’ to ‘single’. And that was his chance to make his move. So instantly, he contacted her and pleaded for their first date.
Fast forward.
He knew he wanted to impress this girl. He knew he had to do something spectacular. So he called the most prestigious restaurant he could think of, and in Heath’s own words, “… you know those restaurants you want to go to but you know they next morning your bank account will be crying…” that’s where he took Sallie. Heath called the restaurant to make reservations and told the hostess he would be celebrating his one year wedding anniversary with his wife. Why? Because that’s the only possible way to get into places like that, he thought. It worked. But now that dilemma. According to his own words, he was supposed to be married to this girl, but in fact it was only their first date.
On the way to the restaurant he decided he had to confess. I have something to tell you, and she turned slowly towards him. They had only known each other a few short weeks, so this statement made her a little nervous. “I told the hostess it was our one year wedding anniversary. I’m sorry. It was the only way to get a reservation.” She busted up laughing and this is when he knew. He knew this girl was the one God created specifically to complete him. The one he wanted. The one he had to have.
As they sat at the fancy restaurant they were continuously greeted with a ‘Congratulations on your one year anniversary’ by all those that passed by, and now a year later Heath & Sallie have completed the circle and can begin their journey towards that one year wedding anniversary.
So, to Heath & Sallie. You two are amazing and I can honestly say you complete each other. For every time you laugh, the other one is smiling an endearing smile, and every time you look at one another we are all reminded of what true love is. Together you are perfect. Thank you for opening your lives and allowing me to glimpse into your special day. Oh, and thanks for letting me pretend your reception was a huge birthday party. That rocked!
I think it is a bride's right to wear a birdcage veil. Honestly, they just make me excited.
Heath & Sallie chose to do a first look, which I love love love. Did I mention I love this? From this moment on the nerves were gone for these two and they got to relax on their wedding day!
They are a sassy group. Let me just tell you. Fabulous.
I promise I don't avoid my blog for long periods of time. It's just that me and Mr. Blog have been on the fritz lately. I'm sure we'll work it out, but it's touch and go at the moment. Once we work out our issues this blog's gonna blow up like nothin you've ever seen. I've got them all laid out - all I have to do is hit publish and you'll be on overload! That is, if Mr. Blog and I ever work out our differences. Let's pray that we do.
So on a completely other note. Tomorrow's my birthday. I get to turn another year older. The big 2-6. Yep. 26 my friends. and if you know me at all you know that birthday's are a huge deal to me. Like Tyrannosaurus Rex huge. Ginormous. Colossal. Ok I'll stop. But I love them. Not just mine, but I equally love everyone else's too. Probably even if I don't know you - I still love your day. Because it's your birthday. What's not to love? I believe birthdays should be filled with so much celebration that whomever is having the birthday is overcome with love. That's how it should be done. Cake, balloons, gifts, phone calls, surprise parties ( these are the best) and pedicures. Fine, you can leave off the pedicure if you want, but you don't know what you're missin!
And because I have the best friends around, they've decided to start celebrating with me early! Today has been filled with flowers, gifts & cupcakes! Watch out tomorrow. You're gonna be awesome!
Oh, and for my innocent bride and groom tomorrow? You watch out too. Getting married on my birthday is flippin fantastic! I may or may not pretend all your friends gathered at the reception are really there to help celebrate my birthday. And I may or may not pretend that your gorgeous wedding cake is in fact my extra large birthday cake. Where are my candles? Oh, you want to cut my birthday cake now? Excuuuuse me? I think it shall be the bride. groom. and photographer cutting the cake tomorrow!
Here's to great friends. birthdays. and other people wedding celebrations that I secretly turn into my birthday parties!
Here's to you 26!
And thank you iPhone for always being there to snap a quick pic when I need one.
