Francesca

The story actually begins with Steve.  Fran and Steve have been very good friends for quite some time, and over the course of the last 10 or so years have grown to regard each other like family.  One day, about 3 years ago, Jake wandered into a certain military surplus store looking for a job.  That job application was passed along to Steve the Manager, and ultimately, Jake was hired, and through the course of their employment together, Jake and Steve became friends.  Also, his mom brought everyone cake, so that was pretty cool too. Steve soon decided to bring Jake home to meet his other friends.  That is the rest Doomcrows.  Including Fran, who never suspected this new addition to the group would later become the love of her life. Jake and Fran became friends, had their ups and downs as friends do, and Jake fell in love. Fran, however, would have none of his advances.  "No, never, no way!" she insisted.  But Jake persisted!  He had a plan, you see.  His plan was to make her laugh so much, she would be unable to resist his charms. And you know what?  It worked. Fran fell in love right back, not only because of his sense of humor, but also the sincerity of his feelings.  Fran and Jake look forward to sharing a life together filled with love and laughter, and excitedly look forward to both their wedding day, and all the days that will follow. And that's why Steve gets to be the best man.  ;-)
