Welcome

To my

Wedding Page

Hi welcome to the page about my wedding.
I am married to Palmer.
We were married in Alberta Canada on November 11, 2000.

A little History.

First Talk Online.

September 1998.

Palmer and I met in a Chat room. I was already in the room when she came in and was asking about ICQ. Well here was this Gal that was asking a question(the room was full), and no one was giving her any answers. I kind of felt sorry for her so I answered her and told her how to get the ICQ Program off the net. I gave her my eamil addy and said if she had any questions about it to email me and I would try to explain to her what was going on. Once she got the program up and running she added me to her list and we became close friends.

January 1999.

Claiming Our Love.

The longer we talked the closer we became. As time went on I started having feelings for her and I thought it was weird, cause here was this gal and she had no idea what I was thinking. I kept telling myself that there was no way this gal was going to fall for me. Then one night as we sat and talked I told her how I felt and she (like I) was scared. After much reassuring her and talking we claimed her love for each other. We began making plans for a meeting and that meeting was soon to follow.

March 1999.

First Meeting.

I was on the phone one afternoon talking to Palmer and she was having a real bad day. Thigs were not going to good for her. I told her that I was going to book me a flight that day. I would call her and tell her what time I would be arriving in Calgary.

I called every airline I could get ahold of and there was just no way that I was going to make a flight that night, so I booked it for 2 weeks later. That night as we were on line talking, I ask her what she was doing on the 12th of March, she was so cool and said nothing.

I told her when the flight was and when I was to arrive in Calgary Alberta. We both were excited and finally the day was here. I left for the Airport in Kansas City Mo. Upon arrival at KCI, I was informed that the plane was on delay and I it was fine cause the lay over was long enough that I had no problem. I sat down and waited. Going over in my mind what I was going to say and what we were going to do. This was my first time out of the country and I was scared to death. After about a 2 hour wait I was told the flight had been cancelled and that I was going to have to stay the night in Kansas City. I got the name of the Motel where I was going to be spending the night. All I could think of was calling her and telling her that I wasnt coming in that night that it would be the next day. Much to my avail I could not reach her as all I got was the answering machine.

I went to the Motel and waited. I finally got ahold of her and I explained that I was coming just going to be the next day was all.I think I slept about 2 hours that night was all I got. I was up the next morning and caught the red eye flight. After a 4 hour lay over in Salt Lake City Utah, I was finally on my last leg of my journey to Calgary Canada.I arrived in Canada and made it through customs.

While I was waiting on my luggage I thought I saw her. She never came up to me I even told her what I was wearing but she never came up then I saw this gal kissing another guy my heart fell and I started thinking ok I have 24 hours in Canada I am going to make the best of it. After I got my luggage I went though a door and there were a lot of people there and I saw this girl coming toward me and it was this time Palmer. I gave her a quick kiss and we headed for her truck. Once in the truck she looked at me and said " I want a real kiss" so I gave her another kiss, this time more passionate and longer. We then went to the motel and talked and just relaxed. We went to a place called the Keg, and had supper.

April 1999.

Second Meeting.

Palmer decided that she was going to come to Iowa and see me. I was so excited. Here was a gal that was coming 1200 Miles to see me for the weekend. As the time got closer and closer I was getting excited. The day was finally here and she called me that morning and told me she was on her way.

I barely got through the work day, as I was thinking of the time that we were going to spend together. At about 5:30pm central time, Palmer called me from Minneapolis Minn. and was waiting for her flight to be called. I ran and jumped in the shower and drove to Omaha. Omaha is about 2 hours from where I lived. All the time I was thinking that the plane had better get there or I was going to be mad. I arrived in Omaha Eppely Airfield 1 hour before the plane carrying Palmer was to land. I sat and read the paper(well some of it) drank coffee and waitied. The plane came in early and I stood there waiting as the others got off the plane. Finally I saw her, my heart jumped for joy. I was once again holding her in my arms and kissing her we got her luggage and headed for my house.

We spent the weekend together and when Sunday came she had to leave again. I sat there in the Airport holding her and not wanting to let her go back as I was afraid I wasnt going to see her again for quit some time. Again I am not real sure who was crying the most but I think it was me. When she got on the plane I was still crying and wanted to have her back, but I understood that she had to return home. I remember standing there watching the plane take off and saying " Please come back". I left and went to my truck and cryed in silence. I went home and all I could think about was Palmer and that I had to find away to be with her.

June 1999.

Third Meeting.

I again made plans to fly to see my Love and the date was set for June 12,1999. I went and decided this time to fly out of Omaha. I arrived and checked in and again the plane was delayed and this time it was on the count of weather but it was only 30 minutes. I flew to Denver Colorado and when I got to Denver I found it was delayed there to because of weather, so there I sat in the airport for about 3 hours and then I finally got on the plane and was heaeded for Calgary.
.

Upon arrival at the Calgary airport I knew what to expect as I had been there before and was ready. I made it through customs and then I went throuhg the doors to my palmer and she was there waiting for me. We got in her truck and drove to Brooks. We arrived in Brooks at about 1:30am. We got up the next morning and I met her 2 lovely girls. Shannon and I went out and looked around the town so I could see what was there. Then that night we out on the town with some of her friends and had fun. I might add it was rodeo weekend.

On Sunday morning we got up and I packed to go back to Iowa. I was not ready to leave, but I said my good byes to the kids and away we went back to Calgary. I checked in and we said our goodbyes this time knowing that we would see each other real soon.

I was setting in the treminal, waiting to have the flight called so I could board. The captain came out and informed us that there was a problem with the plane and they needed to have it checked out.

I went to the phone and called Palmer to inform her not to leave Calgary and explained to her what was being said. I then went and was informed that due to mechanical problems, the flight was cancelled. I called My Love back and told her this and she came to the airport and got me and we returned to Brooks and I got to spend one more day with her.

The next day I once again prepared to leave. We left for Calgary and was at the airport and said our goodbyes and I boarded a plane and headed for home In Iowa. No delays or nothing and was home around 10 pm. I knew that palmer was coming n abotu 3 weeks to spend 2 weeks with me in Iowa. I could hardly wait.

July 1999.

Fourth Meeting.

The day was once again here to when I was going to see my Palmer again and I could be with her for 2 weeks. I went to Omaha again and picked her up. Once again her plane was early. We got her luggage and went to my place the time went by so fast it was not long enough. Before I knew it she had to leave. I was real upset as I didnt know when I was going to see her again. But this I did know that I was going to be with her one way or the other. I made up my mind I was going to move to Canada to be with her.

October 1999.

I came to Canada and moved in with the Love of my life and it was great. In August of 2000 I had to leave and return to Iowa for a few months. I would return to Canada to marry and be with her for the rest of my life. This is just what I did.

Palmer and I were married in Brooks,Alberta Canada on 11 November 2000. It was a very small ceremony. We had 2 good friends stand up with us and 1 of her girls were there.

We did not have rings to exchange but that was ok as we are planning a wedding in April for the friends and family that were not there the first time to come and have a good time with us.
