EMILY DOW & BRIAN ETHRIDGE
They first met at a Friend’s birthday party while Brian was walking out the door when Emily was introduced by a mutual friend. It was simple, quick and over, so fast it barely registered for Emily. For Brian, he couldn’t get her out of his head. Just a few words and she would forever change his life. A couple months went by with little contact. They would briefly see each other in passing at a local church college group, but that was it. Emily started to notice Brian more but thought he wasn’t interested in her and was just a really nice guy. Finally one night, a mutual friend decided she was going to find out if Brian liked Emily. So she texted and Brian and asked if he wanted Emily’s phone number. He said YES! She asked Emily to give him her number so she didn’t have to look it up in her contacts. Emily rattled off her number not thinking about it, until the next morning. Emily work up to a text from her mother saying “who’s this Brian guy texting me thinking I’m you?”. Horror struck, she freaked out, scrambled to find Brian’s number and immediately texted him back apologizing for giving him her mother’s number. The ice was broken, and the rest was history.
” We wanted to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping us make our Wedding Day so special. We are so grateful for your friendship and that you took time out of your busy schedule to be a part of this special time in our lives. We wish there was more that we could say or do to express our gratitude. Thank you so much! ” – Mr. & Mrs. Brian Ethridge (Bride & Groom)
