Janeise Blair and Andrew Edwards become man and wife after a charming ceremony last Saturday.
Meadowbrook Primary school teacher, Janeise Blair, was reading the Daily Observer just over a year ago when she chanced on a photo of someone she had known from basic school and then Titchfield High, years ago.
The photo accompanied a story about her former schoolmate, Andrew Edwards, who was thinking of leaving the Portland school that he had coached for a number of years, after the late principal had refused to even consider his request for a small emolument to coach the team.
He stayed last year to coach at Titchfield but having established his credentials as a top schoolboy football coach, it was difficult for him to turn down an offer to move to former daCosta Cup champions St Elizabeth Technical this off season, where he will also teach Geography.
Although they had not been in touch for approximately 13 years since graduating from Titchfield, she took the initiative to call him up when she saw the Observer article. A date was set up and the sparks began to fly immediately.
Fast forward to last Saturday, August 9.
In front of a small gathering of family and close friends, Father Sedley Gooden, who taught the bride and groom at Titchfield, joined them in holy matrimony at the St John's Anglican Church in Kingston.
The charming ceremony was followed by an intimate reception in Meadowbrook.
