It was a special honor to spend my birthday with Jennifer and Chris and 200 of their closest friends. They could not have been more gracious about my being there on my birthday, going so far as to have a birthday cake just for me to take home and share with my family. Jennifer and Chris are one of the most fun, emotionally honest couples I have had the pleasure to be around in a while. Jennifer’s tears were flowing almost as much as her laugh throughout the day and Chris could barely contain the crack in his voice during his thank you speech. It is clear that they each know who they are, who the other one is and who they are together. Their first dance was a perfect example of this: a little dancing together, a lot of Jennifer vamping and Chris admiring her work from a distance.

As Chris’s best man Jeff reminded everyone, Chris told him long ago in describing their relationship, “She gets me.”
