In the summer of 1997 rehearsals began for Bishop Montgomery High School's marching band. One chose a flag, one chose a drum but little did they know that this would be the first milestone in their lives together. 15 years pass and they meet again through mutual friends on Facebook.

      On March 2, 2012 she added him to her friend list. He accepted with a sweet, charming yet inquisitive message and she replied with playful flirtation. The next day was full with text messages to and from. Then on March 4, 2012 they would meet in person for their first date and they've been inseparable since.

      With joyous and teary eyed blessings from her parents along their wonderful journey the two were in San Pedro on December 7, 2012 when Makana proposed to Jamie.

      The chapter of their courtship will close and the marriage begins on October 26, 2013.
