Bells will be ringing....

John & LeslieI can not believe the day is almost upon us! On Saturday October 24th, 2009 one of my very best friends, Leslie, will be tying the knot with her college sweetheart, John. I was fortunate enough to meet both of them my sophomore year in college and I have many memories in the Ali vault that I promise not to release to the public. Sorry Perez! Not dishing the good stuff today.

Leslie and John will be creating a beautiful life together after their wedding, which will be held in Cincinnati. Leslie will be moving ship to Springfield, Illinois to reside with her soon to be hubby for the first time! Presently, Leslie is working for US Bank punching numbers and being a finance guru and John is running a family plumbing business in Springfield. I get the feeling John deals with a lot of shit. These two love birds are perfect for each other. But if there is one thing we all know, never put them in the same room on the day the Bengals and the Browns play. It is not pretty. I hope to follow up on this blog with some great pictures from the wedding and of the bride and groom! I am anxious to walk down the aisle as a brides maid and support my dear friend as she takes the leap into the married life. John, I hope you enjoy pork rinds, ramen noodles and tuna : )

CONGRATULATIONS!

'A wedding is the entrance to a marriage: One drives through, and suddenly one's there! Stepping from a fairy tale carriage Into quite ordinary air. Life is now a dance, though beautiful, Requiring intense coordination; Each self becomes, in ways inscrutable, More fully what it is in combination. And we who love you wait, of course, outside As you become through love that mystery: One flesh made whole of separate groom and bride; Two selves, one life; two notes, one harmony. When you are one, we then may cherish two:

Loving not just one, but both of you.'
