How we meet
While at the Texas Renaissance Festival, Robert met a fair maiden, Lady Laura, who turned out to be a wee magical pixie in human guise. She had been looking all her life for the perfect gentleman to enchant and realized that Robert was just the man she was looking for, to weave her magical spell over. Therefore, Robert was enchanted, and he plans to remain so, as they live happily ever after.
Laura and Robert
Laura was born in Kentucky in the mid 60's but moved to El Paso, TX when she was 4 and loved it there. She worked as a Math teacher for 4 years in El Paso and loved being a teacher but the job was too stressful so she moved to Dallas to teach one last year and settle into Dallas life before looking for another career. She has found being a computer pixie a very rewarding job and now magically fixes computers over the phone.
Robert was born at an Air Force Base in the mountains of Idaho in the late 50's, and was heavily influenced by the hard working honest mountain folk of Virginia. Robert has spent nearly all of his life in the city, but has country roots that reach all the way "home" to his grandparent's farm. Today Robert works at the prestigious Houston Medical Center as a nurse at a liver transplant center. His family still calls him by his childhood nickname, (also his middle name) Ritchie and Laura uses both names. So if you catch her stumbling on his name it isn't because she has forgotten it, it is that she is trying to remember which name the person she is talking to knows him by.
The Wedding
Staying true to this magical moment, and the place of the enchantment, this joining shall take place at the Scarborough Faire, and shall be rich in the trappings of a renaissance wedding. The wedding will take place at 3:30pm on May 5, 2001 at Scarborough Faire in Waxahachie, TX.
Laura, being the artistic and hard working Pixie that she is, intends to sew all the attire for the wedding party (and Robert would say "single handedly" but he has seen her sew, and she uses both hands).
