Ceremony Magazine San Francisco 2016 | Marcie & Duane
Love Story
From the couple:
“A long time ago on a galaxy far, far away…” or more accurately we were brought together, first as colleagues, who then became friends, who stayed friends, and who 28 years later became married friends! Duane and Marcie met after Marcie returned from teaching high school in Germany, and after having an astonishing ride with the Los Angeles Summer Olympic Organizing Committee. Marcie was exploring a career outside of teaching as she grew in her faith and expanded her interests. During this period, Marcie met and worked with Duane for a few years, getting exposed to the business side of education. After a long and winding road into other successful, mainly corporate careers, Marcie was redirected to work again as a consultant in Duane’s software company. Duane got to know Marcie when Duane’s business partner hired Marcie as a software trainer and organizational development specialist. By no coincidence, Marcie invited Duane to her church and this launched their inspired and wonderful friendship many years ago. On the travel front and after years touring international destinations independently and together, including mission trips to Romania, Mexico, and France, the newlyweds plan to honeymoon in Sicily when they feel the nudge and when they can afford it!
