Richard and Sanjai met way back in 3rd grade and quickly became inseparable. They joined the soccer team together in high school just to spend even more time together. Sadly they went to different colleges but it was during this time Tracy and Richard became close. We chose Richard as our officiant as someone who has known both of us for a long time and seen our relationship grow.
