Lynn-Vincent

2006-2081

Haley and Andrew first met at the 2004 Campus Outreach Summer Beach Project in Panama City, Florida.  The following summer they were both in leadership for the project and began to take an interest in each other.  As sets of parents learned about this, we visited Florida in the summer of 2005 and gave our hearty approval.  Only then did Haley and Andrew begin to date.

The “Shotgun” Wedding Departure

The Departure was not without incident.  Just before the bride and groom exited into the parking lot of the Memphis Zoo, two masked men emerged from the bushes.  One man cocked a sawed-off shotgun and told some members of  Haley’s family to lie down on the pavement and throw their purses, wallets and keys toward him.  As the masked men were getting into Haley’s aunt and uncle’s Dodge Durango, her uncle shouted for his twins to jump away.  One had already gotten into the back seat before the car-jackers appeared.  Sydney and Bethany obeyed their father before the men drove off.  Haley took care of her young cousins while their mother and father talked with the Memphis Police.
