Born at 8:15 pm and weighing 5lbs 4oz she has been given the nickname “Squeaker” because her mom says she squeaks like a tiny piglet!

WEDDING BELLS

→ Lorain Sales Rep Jenna Kreger and Thomas Beckett were married Saturday, October 3, 2020

→ Kasey Bird, Ohio Valley Wine Sales Pro, got married to John Ecker on October 10, 2020. They got married in the woods behind their home, because they love it there and they want to be able to visit that spot at any time for the rest of their lives. There was no wedding party, just her and John and the officiant. She walked down the aisle with her mom and dad, while John’s best friend played a song by the Beatles. Before their vows, Kasey’s mom and John’s friend surprised them by playing “Love of My Life” by Queen on the flute and the guitar. Their union was officiated by John’s best friend’s dad. After the ceremony they had hot dogs and hamburgers, had a toast with champagne, bourbon, and Sambuca. They made s’mores in the fire pit when it got dark.Truly a perfect day!
