The Love Story of Wesley and CandyWhen Wesley saw how difficult his cousin’s long-distance relationship could sometimes be with all of the traveling back and forth, he vowed he could never be part of that kind of relationship.  This changed however when Wesley met Candy at his cousin’s wedding on September 8, 2001 in Massachusetts.

Candy was in the wedding party and Wesley was singing at the reception, and they found themselves at a table together talking. When Wesley learned Candy’s name, he said  “You are the only person that I know with that name, and I’ll never forget it.”

After two years with no connection, Wesley and Candy ran into each other by chance at a concert.  Though Wesley didn’t immediately recognize her, when she said her name was Candy, memories of meeting her at his cousin’s wedding came flooding back. He never did forget. Numbers were exchanged, and they began talking not long after.

The Proposal, Wedding & Anniversary

Five years after running into each other at the concert, Wesley bought Candy a surprise trip to San Antonio, Texas to visit her best friend. Little did Candy know though, there was more intention behind the trip. Wesley instructed Candy’s best friend to dress her up for a night out at the River Walk in San Antonio, where Candy was led to a small intimate spot where a large tree stood on an island, called The Kissing Tree.  Wesley came from behind the tree, got down on one knee, and asked Candy to be his wife.

After two years of planning, Candy and Wesley were married in front of their friends and family.  Today they celebrate four years of music-filled love and bliss; each year representing the musical beat to a measure. Four beats, four years, and the memory of a four-hour trip to Massachusetts all for love.
