Joan & Lindsay

A while back, I attended the commitment ceremony between Joan and Lindsay, two lovely ladies whom I met at JMU during my freshman year on the Women's Rugby team . I was roommates with Joan during our senior year; we lived at 95 1/2 Franklin St., possibly the best address ever! We had a pink flamingo displayed in our window (because we had no yard) and when I drove through Harrisonburg last year, it was still there! (I had emphatically told the next years' residents they were not allowed to remove it.)

More to the point, Joan and Lindsay's ceremony was absolutely beautiful. Joan is a graphic design artist and all the wedding stationery/programs/etc. was designed by her (I'm assuming!). Their colors were red, white, and black; classy but with spark. Joan completely surprised Lindsay by walking down the aisle in a striking red dress. (Lindsay had thought Joan's dress was white.) They were married at the Camden County Boathouse in Pennsauken, NJ. Almost immediately after the ceremony, the DJ kicked it off with some upbeat tunes and the dance floor was occupied the entire night. Everyone had a blast :) Pictured break dancing, below, is Marc, whom I went to elementary school with!

Unfortunately, John, Jennifer (WXJM legend), and I were stuck in some major traffic on our way up north (as if we hadn't lived in Northern VA the past decade or more and known about what the roads are like on Friday afternoons!) We just barely made it before they walked down the aisle. After my nerves calmed, I enjoyed witnessing their exchange of commitment. Joan and Lindsay have been deeply in love with each other for almost 8 years now; they really have something spectacular. I wish you both a lifetime of happiness!
