McSchafer Madness

Just got back into town after a fun-filled, action-packed wedding weekend celebrating the marriage of Megan and Grant! Check out some pictures of said action below (courtesy of my camera and Krista’s photography skills):

Megan is one of my oldest and dearest friends in the world; we met in 8th grade when her family moved to Charlotte from Barrington IL, but didn’t really become good friends until 9th grade or so. We quickly made up for that lost year by my practically living at their house for the rest of high school. Although we separated for our college years and a few after that, Megan and I got to continue our in-person life-partnership when she moved to and lived in NYC for two years. It was such a blessing to be watch how this friendship that began as awkward teenagers has grown deeper and stronger as we became confident, well-adjusted, successful real-life adults (in title, at least). We still giggle, gossip and talk as much and probably as fast as we did when we were 15 (I would say maybe more, but I’m not sure that is humanly possible) and I know that will never change.

Although I haven’t had nearly the same amount of history with Grant, I have known since the day I met him that he would be the one for Megan. He truly makes her so happy and the best version of herself (and trust me, you don’t want to see the worst version!). Grant is one of the most patient, kindest and supportive people I have ever met (and I’m not just saying that because he’s one of this blog’s whopping TWO subscribers. Hi Grant! And what are the rest of you fools waiting for?). What I admire most about Grant is his genuine interest in people; he is a pro at getting people to open up about themselves and putting people at ease in any situation. I also love that he once walked a mile in high heels to bring attention to domestic violence; it takes a real man to stand up for women like that. And of course, how can his unabashed love and use of exclamation points not make you excited about life as well?!!

Along with the rest of the Grantastic P. Schafer fan club, we are all so, so thrilled that these two have found each other.  Can’t wait to see all the wu-nders that your new life together will bring! Lots of love and luck to the newlyweds!
