It was a shared interest in Hockey that served as a catalyst to bring Briana and Charles together, but over the past five years, the two of them have found a great deal more to serve as the foundation for their relationship. This past Saturday, that relationship hit a major milestone as they exchanged vows at the Portage Country Club in Akron, Ohio.
Saturday was a little bit different for Genevieve and I as I have known Briana’s family for as long as I remember. Her older brother, Matthew, and I used to play together as kids and through connections too intricate to describe on this blog, her oldest brother, Seth, and his wife, Cecile, met through a connection established by Genevieve’s sister, Annie, in France. Did you follow all that? If not, that’s ok. Suffice it to say that we got to see LOTS of familiar faces at this wedding.
The weather was beautiful and the setting was perfect and I can’t imagine how their day could have gone any smoother. Congratulations, Bri and Charlie, and thank you so much for having us be a part of your day!
