Journey Of A Thousand Miles: "Tell Us A Story" Guestbook

by


When I first put our guestbook together I did have a couple worries. Were people actually going to want to write more than just their names? Was there going to be enough time for everyone to write something? Once again I was worrying for no reason.

I guess before I get to far in, I should show you how our guest book table turned out.



Our coordinators, Yazmin and Marcela, set up the table at the entrance to the cocktail hour/lounge area. It not only helped people notice the guestbook but also gave our guests the entire cocktail hour to meander over and write it in.



While I was happy to have so many people write/sign in our book. 


I was just as happy to see so many of our guests also reading what everyone else wrote. 



So are you ready to read some of the sweet notes everyone left? I won't bore you by sharing every single page but here are a couple that I really liked.

The first one I want to show you was written by Mr. Meerkat's cousin, Ked, who was also one of our readers.


How could anyone not know the first time seeing them together? I met Carla when Chris brought her to Christmas Eve. We became fast friends and it was clear every time I saw the two together that this was it for them - they had both fallen for one another. I'm very glad to know them both and wish them both all the best in the years to come. Good luck guys! ♥
I had no idea until I read it that she even remembered that first Christmas Eve together.

I also love the one Sister-In-Law Meerkat wrote because she reminded me of one of my favorite memories of Mr. Meerkat.

My favorite memory with Christopher and Carla is when we spent our first Christmas together. It was great to [add] our new member to the family. We got to share all of our traditions with you!! You got to experiencing a true christophermas as he woke up at 5 in the morning. :)  Love you guys!
Mr. Meerkat L-O-V-E-S Christmas. He has the hardest time waiting until Christmas day to give out the presents he bought so every Christmas morning you can find Mr. Meerkat waking everyone up before the sun comes up. While we are all groping for a cup of coffee or tea, he is digging under the tree to pass out his presents. Because of Mr. Meerkat, Christmas has since become on of my favorite holidays.

And last but not least is what Mr. Meerkats grandmother, Nonnie, wrote.

Years back Christopher brought Carla to our office to introduce her! The way they looked at each other was a dead give-a-way! And the love story continued. We love you both so very much and may God blesss you as you start your life together. Nonnie & Nonnue.
Even now going back through and reading what everyone wrote brings the biggest smile to my face. It is so amazing to read how everyone remembered us falling in love.
