CONGRATULATIONS Ben and Jackie. Your wedding is less than a week away. I know you are both so excited.

My how time flies. It seems like it was just a few years ago but actually it was about 30 years ago that our family moved to the Rio Grande Valley. It was there that we met the Keltner family. Our youngest daughter Marlie and Ben grew up together. We have been friends for 30 years now and I must say the Keltner family is one fine family. It seems Ben has found the love of his life and I am so happy for him and his soon to be bride. God Bless you guys in your journey through life together.

READ HOW THEY MET:

Jackie’s Story:
Ben and I had our 10th high school reunion on June 13, 2008. I went hoping to see old friends and catch up on our lives. At some point, I saw Ben and I couldn’t help but smile. When I first saw Ben, I must say I thought to myself, “WOW, he sure is handsome!” The next night, the reunion headed out to the Island. Ben and I went together and that is when I really noticed what a genuine and caring man he is. So I invited Ben up to San Antonio one weekend to go to Sea World and we fell in love over the Shamu show!!

Ben’s story:
At our ten year reunion, I arrived a little late and expected to see most of the same people that I talk to around town. But WOW! guess who came up to me looking amazing as soon as I walked in. I didn’t notice anyone else but Jackie! Somehow I convinced her to go with me to our reunion activities on the Island the next night so I poured on the charm and she couldn’t resist! haha, the rest is history!
