Jeanne was my first roommate when I was 20…back in the days when I was ok with having a futon as our couch, when my Rusted Root Cd was on repeat for days and we danced in our living room all the time, when my huge wooden butterfly on the wall was the greatest thing I owned, when I used bisquick to cook with, like every other day and thought sushi was so gross! We didn’t know each other when we moved in together, but have been friends ever since! I remember noticing the butterfly ring she wore, and thinking, cool, this is gonna work out!
I also, so clearly remember, when Jeanne was going through her loose photos and I saw a nice looking face on her floor and asked who he was. The look on her face said it all, she played it off, but it was clear, he was the love of her life, who slipped away. Months later, when she said, you know that guy…well…he lives in New Orleans now and he wants me to visit him…I knew it was on! This would be the trip that would rekindle a love and change their lives! I didn’t hesitate to say yes, when, soon after, she asked if it was cool if he moved in with us. He drove straight through and made it in less than 17 hours, and the rest, well, is history!
I love them both and am so thankful for their friendship and am so excited for them as they celebrated 10 years of marriage!
They are a great example of how powerful love can be, how teamwork and support can push you to be great, how idosycrasies can be embraced, and how life can be full of great food, cocktails, fun and laughter!
Congratulations, Jeanne & Ryan on ten years of marriage, and counting! I’m so happy we did this fun shoot to mark this special time in your lives!
