The nuptials of Tiffany Reinhart
and Ben Craig, officiated by Pastor
Dave Wood, took place at 2 p.m. in
the Missionary Church in Auburn on
Saturday. As half the village of
Auburn was in attendance, for most
of you reading, I won’t be able to
expand on our mutual experience of
love and joy. For the rest of you, I
can assure you the bride and groom,
along with their families and friends,
were cradled in the loving arms of a
perfect day.
The groomsmen were Jeffrey
Clark, David Campbell, Jason
Rutledge, and Ian Andrews; the
groom’s brother, Peter Craig, was
best man. After having heard all the
jokes, kind words and glowing
tributes bestowed on the groom, Ihave no doubt this fine young manwould have a dozen more willing tostand by him and eager to call himfriend.While the same could be said forthe bride, those chosen for thehonour as bridesmaids were friendsof Tiffany’s, Melanie Grant, LeahBauer, Sarah Seeger and the bride’saunts, Liz Chamas and Patty
Farnsworth. Maid-of-honour was the
bride’s sister, and best friend,
Maegan Reinhart.
Flowergirl was Yasmeen Chamas,
and ringbearer was Zach Chamas,
cousins of the bride.
For those new to Auburn area, Ben
Craig is the son of Al and Elaine
Craig, and Tiffany is daughter of
Joni (Shoemaker) and John Reinhart.
The newly-wedded pair have both
lived in Auburn their whole lives and
in fact had only to cross the road to
find one another.
This classic tale of the girl-next-
door, or, boy-next-door, continued to
unfold later in the day at Saltford
Valley Hall where wedding guests
were welcomed by decorated
surroundings, inviting tables and
ultimately a delicious dinner.The evening progressed withspeeches, toasts, kissing challenges,a lot of fun, and a sense of blendingand bonding among their manyfamilies.I have known the Shoemakerfamily for many years and Wayneand I were pleased to reacquaintourselves with them through Tiffany.We first met her in Grade 9 at GDCI,
where she and our daughter Leah
became good friends and played
many sports together over many
years. We have shared a lot of
tournament talk and a few road trips,
all memories I treasure.
Tiffany has grown into a generous,
young woman who I am proud to
know. She has met and married a
devoted and hardworking young
man. On Saturday, she was
Cinderella in her very own fairy-tale
wedding and today they startworking on the ‘happily ever after’.Now to my own never ending tale,in an effort to gain much neededfocus on my more creative writingchallenges this will be my lastcolumn for the Auburn news. I haveenjoyed my time getting to knowsome of the great people in andaround Auburn. During my time writing area news,
I was especially pleased and
honoured for the opportunity to do a
write-up on Auburn’s oldest native,
Bernice Anderson. She’s a grand
lady and I treasure my time spent
with her.
I appreciate all those who took
time to send me a tid-bit of news
occasionally. Thanks again Nancy,
for your onerous efforts during my
first year. Thank you to everyone for
your support.
