What can I say about my puppets...I mean...Kevin and Sarlyn (aka Kevlyn)? Long story, short, I played match maker to this fun couple.
Short story, long, Sarlyn visited NYC with some of her friends October 2008. She was in the market for a man, and I told her I had just the guy for her. She resisted any sort of friendly reference, but I knew I had to at least introduce her to my friend Kevin.
I came home for Thanksgiving in 2008 and head out on the town with Sarlyn, Kevin and the ever so beautiful Cecille. We have a great time and end up at Dick's where we all ate burgers and fries. There was a lot of banter back and forth and we just had a fantastic time.
Fast forward to January 2009, Sarlyn is back in NYC. She apparently is now talking to a guy, but she won't tell me who he is! So by the time she gets back to Seattle, she basically tells me who he is...and it's Kevin! Win!!! I was hurt because I was the last to know, but only for a few seconds because I was happy they were together.
Since I'm in NYC now, I have spent most of their relationship on the sidelines. I had to see all their overly mushy sweet nothings on Facebook. It was like I was back in 6th grade - them being extremely happy and wanting the world to know and they didn't care how annoying it was. Fantastic! The constant postings tapered off after a while and it was like I was seeing their relationship grow and mature via Facebook. Blessing and disguise, right?
Well they eventually got engaged and are planning to get married in October of 2011. They visited NYC in December 2010 to take in NYC during the holidays and had asked that I shoot an engagement video for them during their trip. OF COURSE!
So here it is. Congrats to the happy couple! Thanks for asking me to be a groomsman, a roaster and a part of the wedding video team! Hope you enjoy your video!
Happy 3 Year Anniversary too! (02/28/11)
