Last December 26, 2007, the Little Chapel of Flowers in Las Vegas was the venue of a small intimate wedding for Florin Strambu, an industrial machinist from South Bend, IN and Gaye Lopez, a pharmaceutical rep working in Toronto. Florin’s 23 year old son Rossy stood as Best Man and Gaye’s 22 year old daughter Erika was her Maid of Honor. Isn’t that nice, huh? They met in November, got engaged in September, and tied the knot in December. It was a whirlwind romance and a long distance affair that kept phone lines burning. But even while chatting on the phone before meeting in person, they already felt they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together. So it felt very right and natural to tie the knot despite the long distance relationship. The honeymoon was an Easter celebration to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. Congratulations to you both. This is the beginning of a very special time in your life, just married!
