Ben and Kara's Wedding

We initially met through a mutual childhood friend (the best man, Matt). While we both knew this friend for years, some how we did not meet until later on in life. The first time we actually saw each other, Ben was working at a sub shop and Matt brought Kara in for lunch, but we were never really introduced, and didn't formally meet until a few weeks later. The first time we were really introduced, we were both meeting Matt for dinner at a restaurant in Rochester. But the minute we all met there, Matt had to run an errand and left us by ourselves, which was funny considering we had never really spoken to each other before. We quickly found out that we had a lot in common, and spent the next few hours talking, barely realizing Matt had not returned. Matt claims that in the weeks following our initial meeting he dropped many subtle hints to both of us that the one was interested in the other. We like to think we were naturally drawn to each other, but should give Matt at least partial credit. Finally one night at a gathering in what our friends fondly refer to as "The Hungerford" (an old warehouse turned into an artist studio hang out) Ben and Kara had their first kiss. Below is a photo of us that very night (and yes that is Ben with long hair). And ya'll can fill in the rest of the details yourself.
