Congrats Steve and Gloria!! Wish I could be there.
Steve is one of my bestest pals in this nutty business - and if Gloria (she was with Steven IN Atlanta, IL meet) thinks he's OK, then she's good in my book too!!
Happy wedding day, you two. March 16th was the day Jody and I first "met". We'll never forget your special day now!!
Steve is "semi-retired" from the sign biz (still has lots of customers, though) but now owns and runs The Rose of The Lake Bed and Breakfast in Grand Rivers, KY. Stop in and stay with him sometime. You'll NEVER find a better host - and now, hostess as well!!
Enjoy the day you two - and very best wishes from Jody and I.

Hey Jay I think that's THURSDAY March 16th. but hey who's keepin track!
I want to offer my congrats as well and ditto everything you said about him, he's a great guy and so much fun to be around. I pray they will have many happy years together. Hoping to see them next month.
I'm sure this doesn't apply. . . but talkin' bout marriage made me think of this email I received just today. It was 2 guys talking to each other and one said. . . I think I'm going to get a devorce. the other one asked "why"? he said because my wife hasn't spoken to me in over 3 months! the other guy replies you might want to reconsider, a woman like that is hard to find!
Best wishes!!

Congratulations you 2! Wish we could be there to share in the joy. We've had so many good times. You 2 are very special folk and you please me -- no end.
We've been rooting for you for some time now. It's the best move you could have made and you have ensured a future rich with fullfillment and joy.
Steve: We go back and we have become life long friends. When our rockin' chair days are upon us, we'll be able to reflect on how things were back in the day. Our lives are benchmarked by the life long friends we acquire -- friends that you think about often -- friends that you move heaven and earth to get with. Your smile and giggle is all that is necessary to brighten a person's disposition.
Gloria: From the first time I met you, I was impressed by your enthusiasm, warmth, energy and positive demeanor. Steve is indeed a very lucky man and I know he is thrilled that you have joined with him in matrimony. You are a sweetie in my book and I look forward to being with you and Steve in the future.
I'm getting warm and fuzzy now, but I want to reiterate what Jay said about your B & B and hope that any letterheads looking for great hospitality and a few full fledged belly laughs will spend the night at this establishment and enjoy that great area of the state of Kentucky.
Kisses and hugs -- see ya soon!

Do you like pink, Kelly? You can paint with us. Dan's not gonna mind. And, again, we'll let you go potty.
My wife calls me a fe-man. I'm in touch with my sensitive side - or so she says.
Seriously, Steve is a long-time friend - and Gloria meant the world to him. They were apart a short while - and it all came together again. It's made my friend Steven VERY happy.
Which of us wouldn't send flowers when so close to someone? (or chocolate - mmmmmm)
