Acquaintances for four years, Pat and Darlene Pierson grew closer after the death of their loved ones. They married in December. They fell into a natural courtship that quickly blossomed into love. Darlene says she knew almost from the start that they'd eventually be married. One evening when they were alone, Pat said to Darlene in an off-handed way, "You know I'm going to change your name."
"To what?" she replied, thinking she was pretty fond of the name Darlene.
"To Pierson, of course."
"He kind of caught me off-guard," Darlene says.
She awoke one rainy morning and racked her brain to make some plans. She was so flummoxed, that she went back to bed, only to be awakened by Dixie barking at a neighbor. The neighbor turned out to be professional event planner Toni Gardner. "My birthday just happens to be December 6," Toni said, "and for my birthday present, I'm going to plan your wedding." Darlene remembers the moment now with a benediction: "What a blessing."
On December 6th, with friends and family gathered at their home, Darlene and Pat launched a new life together. -Excerpts from The Austin-American Statesman Glossy section, author: Helen Anders.
What a pleasure working with Toni Gardner of 360 Media and Over the Top Events as well as the elegance and grace of Darlene & Pat. Congratulations to the both of you!
