Picture it: Southaven, Cotton Bowl Lanes, April 16, 2005. It was just another night of cosmic bowling for James. It was one last hoo-rah with buds for Emily, the night of her senior prom. Destiny put them bowling on lanes right next to each other. He thought, "she's left handed, but cute!" She thought, "Cute, but probably with my luck, probably 35, married, and has 2 kids..." As luck would have it, he was only 20, single, and no baby-mama drama. After 2 hours of shameless flirting, it was Emily who made the move: "If I give you my number will you call me?" "Sure!" was the reply. He called 10 minutes later with the excuse, "I was just making sure I put the right number in my phone!" They ended up talking all night long and the rest is history...

Our wedding is July 7th at 7:00pm. It will be at Chapel in the Pines in Senatobia with a reception immediately after. To get there, take I-55 south to the Senatobia exit and take a left on Hwy 4. Go 4 miles and take a right on Gravel Springs Rd (there'll be a sign with balloons on it that says "Wedding Chapel" right before the turn) Go down that road a 1/4 mile and the chapel on the right, can't miss it! It's a log cabin chapel on a lake, and it's just real sweet and romantic and perfect!

James and I are just so excited about starting our lives together!! We're also happy that everyone can be apart of our special day! We truly hope that everyone can always be apart of our lives!! We love and appreciate everyone from the bottoms of our hearts. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you of so very much!!
lots of love,
Emily and James
