Story
There are a number of people who take credit for Liz and John first getting together and now getting married. If you ask around at the wedding, you can hear a few of those stories. Don't put too much weight on them though, especially from anyone with the last name O'Brien. So here is the full story, nothing left out:
John was a cool sophomore at Boston College, living the high life in a dorm room with 7 other guys. Liz was a freshman, far away from her Italian beef and deep dish pizzas.
Very nicely, John invited Liz and her friends over to a party (while her cousin and John’s roommate, Charlie, was out of town) and the rest is really history. They had a nice conversation over a few iced teas and waters. Small town boy from the New Jersey farm country meets western suburbs Chicago girl, perfect match.
Liz played hard to get and told John that they needed to be dating for at least 8 years before she would even consider getting married. John very patiently waited and is so pleased that Liz said yes when he took her out for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich lunch on a Friday afternoon in October.
They cannot wait to celebrate with all their friends and family this November.
