Senator John Kerry!


Funny story... Chris and I met at a John Kerry campaign event during the summer of 2004, when Kerry was running for president. Chris attended the event because his friend was hosting the party, I went because I wanted to meet more people in State College. It obviously worked out!

So when we were working on sending out our wedding invitations, we decided to send John Kerry an invitation to see if he would respond. We enclosed a brief letter describing our story. We weren't sure if we would get a response, but today in the mail we received a card from his office. I was sure that it would only be a simple form letter, but instead we received a personalized note directly from the senator, hand written, signed and everything!

In case you can't read it on the picture, he wrote "I'm delighted my campaign brought you together and I appreciate the invitation enormously. Celebrate well and come say hello one day! All the best."

I was telling Chris we should save it and in 50 years take it to the Antique's Roadshow and see how much it is worth! It was fun to receive it today.
