Where it All Beganed

Although Sarah and David both went to Whitman College, they didn’t really meet until a college reunion. It was October of 2005, there was a white president, you were going to make a killing on your house, and my good friend Bernie had quite the money making touch, if you're interested.

Whitman’s class of 2000 was holding its five year reunion, which is the sort of thing that smaller institutions do so alumni can feel apart of the community, and [ha-fundraising-choo]. Excuse me.

David and Sarah started talking in the Whitman College Bookstore, and then later at the official reception in the Pete Reid Center’s Young Ballroom (Maid of Honor Sarah, Officiate Katey, Groomsmen Matt and Shane were there, and if you have a few hours they will tell you how David left his MACK all over that ballroom).

To make a long story short, you now have hotel reservations and a five hour car ride.

Above is the first ever photo taken of David and Sarah on that fateful night at the Green.

Sorry, that’s the Smithsonian City State University, 34th Street Campus, Unaccredited Institute of Higher Learning and Flip Flop Repair (Go Wildcats!). However, it is from their archives. Oh, and they are closed Sunday through Tuesday.
