Stephanie and Chris's Wedding
Our Story:
As some of you may know, Chris and Stephanie initially met in 1995 when Chris worked at Tower Books on South Street in
Philadelphia and Stephanie worked as his boss. Chris didn't take his job seriously enough and Stephanie took her job
a little too seriously, so clashes were bound to follow.
Stephanie remembers Chris sleeping his work shift away on a yoga mat alongside piles of books in a storage area, and Chris remembers Stephanie yelling a lot and being written up. They both remember Chris's last day of work, on which he arrived dressed as a clown (Stephanie hates and fears clowns, which Chris didn't know at the time). Eight years later, a mutual friend told Stephanie that Chris had a profile on www.friendster.com and she felt strangely compelled to write to him and thank him for the clown experience, as it had given her a really good story to tell people over the years (even better than the one about the guy who sold marijuana from behind the cash register!). Chris was about to move back to Philadelphia, as luck would have it, and he suggested they get together to catch up. Several months later, on the night of the lunar eclipse, they actually did go on a not-date that became a date, to the surprise of both. |
