April & Kris….
What an interesting story these two have. Both are in the military, in fact that’s where they met.
Kris, a self proclaimed “Peter Pan”- green tights and all, is a fun-loving party animal, noted for his Lady Gaga impressions, this dude has a real zest for life.
April on first impressions, seems slightly reserved, measured, perhaps a little shy..?? (I say that with a smile on my face.) I think it’s her stature, she carries herself with a certain elegance and grace. (Side point- she outranks Kris, which his groomsmen enjoyed commenting on). When I realized she was going to surprise Kris with a song, I knew this would be GOLD, and found that she is not at all reserved, or shy!! (I know I couldn’t sing in front of that group, even if I did have an amazing voice like April’s.)
These two love each other WHOLEHEARTEDLY!! They wear their passion for one another on their sleeves and its a beautiful thing to see! My face was aching from all the smiling I did that day.
