SimranSudden Bumps
35-year-old Kiersten Downs and 33-year-old Thomas Martineau, who had talked on facebook for the first time were now deciding to get hitched. Despite the challenges that they were facing or had faced in their past the idea of getting married to the love of their life was giving hope for a better future. Until the sudden bumps started to occur one by one in their lives.
Shifting The Dates
Just when they had shifted their dates to December 2016, so that Kiersten’s grandmother could attend their nuptials, another problem knocked at their door. A few days before the wedding, Thomas suffered from an unseen problem due to his paralysis and was taken to the hospital immediately afterward. This was something they had not seen coming and the condition was pretty much serious. Would they be able to face the unforeseen problem?
Rescheduling Dates
They wanted to get married as soon as possible but nothing was important than the groom’s health for Kiersten. So without giving it another thought they rescheduled their wedding to March 2017. “Being in the chair, I thought I could never be able to live up to being the husband that she could have,” he said. “That was a fear I always had: Having the wedding…and having to settle for things as they were.”
Wedding Date
After all the unforeseen hurdles, they were finally able to fix a wedding date. Everyone was happy that things were getting back on track. So they started to prepare for the wedding venue, the bride and groom’s dresses, the theme party they were going to host after the wedding and most importantly about the dance after their wedding. Midst of all Kiersten was also studying for her Ph.D. in applied anthropology at grad school. Would now things be as smooth as they seemed to be?
Secret Planning
When everyone was planning for the wedding, the groom had something else on his mind. So secretly he went on to plan a surprise for his love. And started to think of all the ways in which he could execute the plan without letting her know. It wasn’t really difficult though as she was busy with her study and wedding plans. What was the groom planning and would the bride come to know about what was happening?
The Wedding Dance
So after rescheduling the wedding for the 3rd time, they were hoping that this would be the final date and everything was set, there were certain things that needed the attention. One of them was their first dance.“I thought I was going to sit on his lap and roll around and grab the kids to dance and sort of improvise,” she said. Everyone was curious about their first dance. But the groom had some other plans.
