Saturday, September 19


Ms. Haworth drawing a heart around the initials J.H. + R.H.


Class dismissed. They are now Mr. and Mrs. Hoy

What a beautifully simple ceremony!

I think he smells the salmon on the buffet!
Mr. and Mrs. Hoy

After a wonderful visit with our friend Collene we headed east to Toledo. We checked in at our hotel, put on our "wedding duds", and left again to find De Vilbiss High School where Ms. Haworth was getting married. She was marrying someone that she had been in physiology class with when she was a junior and he was a senior in high school. They had not seen each other since that class until they found each other online several years ago. The wedding was so cute. It began with the sound of the tardy bell and as the wedding party entered the room they signed in on the chalk board. They were married by Ms. Haworth's nephew. When they were pronounced husband and wife the bell rang again and they went to the hallway and greeted their guests in front of the lockers. It was one of the most unique, romantic and original weddings that I have ever been to. It was so "perfect"!
The reception was held at the Toledo Zoo in the Arctic Room. As we were eating we could watch the polar bears as they moved about in their enclosure. It was casual and fun. You may not have known this but the 19th was talk like a pirate day. Ms. Haworth's new last name is now Hoy so they incorporated that into the table favors with small treasure chests full of treats printed with polar bears and sayings such as "aHoy matey". We had such a great time sharing in this very special occasion. You could tell just by watching the two of them how very happy they were. What a blessing to have found each other after 40 years! We wish them only the very best for the next 40+ years!!
