Memory Lane

I feel the need to post this somewhere other than our wedding website since someday I'm sure it will be obsolete. My husband is a rather witty guy who wrote the "how we met" section of our wedding website. A males perspective is always so entertaining. 

As told by Grant:
On a brisk fall evening in September, two of the most prestigious social organizations at Shepherd Univeristy organized a sophisticated soiree to celebrate the begining of the start to another school year.  The event was to take place at the home of a Lambda Chi Alpha member where the sisters of Sigma Sigma Sigma were to also attend.  Lisa Martin, a member of Sigma Sigma Sigma, planned to attend this lavish affair and coaxed her friend Meghan Jenkins to join.  Upon arriving the two friends, along with many others, took part in the festivities by enjoying several complementary spirits and partaking in conversation with the men of Lambda Chi Alpha.  Miss Jenkins, while getting another cocktail noticed a certain suave, collegiate man from accross the room.  Standing there was a man with flowing brown locks and the social prowess of english royalty by the name of Grant Shaddix, who was partaking in games popular to the scholarly youth of the era.  As Meghan stared toward the young gentlemen, her cup began to overflow with drink just as her heart began to overflow with infatuation.  At this moment, Mr. Shaddix glanced over to see the trouble that Miss Jenkins was having with her cocktail and began to laugh slightly at her expense. At this point, the two locked eyes and for the brief moment a feeling of aprehension and attractiveness came over the both of them.  As seemingly awkward as the moment was, Miss Jenkins, blushed and abash, abruptly turned away, cleaned up, and returned to the circle of women and to conversation from which she had excused herself.  Mr. Shaddix turned to his fellow compadres Eric Celli, Robert Krzywicki, and Patrick Noland and began inquiring about the presence of the young women to his far left. The men, unfamiliar with her whereabouts, were intrugued and noticed the immediate interest that Mr. Shaddix has taken with the young lass.  The men quickly began to satirize Mr. Shaddix and insisted he initiate conversation with the beutiful woman about future familiarity.  Vexed and embarrassed at his friends ridicule, Mr. Shaddix began to raise his esteem and with brazen confidence made his way towards his future companion.  Mr. Shaddix was nervous to say the least, and on his short journey, his confidence began to dwindle, but ultimately pushed through.  Immediately, the conversation was entertaining between the two.  Mr. Shaddix and Miss Jenkins enjoyed one anothers company so much in fact, that very soon after they began to date on regular occasions, and to none-the-wiser, this was just the beginning.
