A
couple from Texas say they were happy to celebrate their wedding at a
Habitat for Humanity home building site where they both volunteered.
The
couple, who met on eHarmony and say they have been in love since the
first day they met, wanted their wedding Saturday to be a celebration
of the importance of service for them. As
Christians, they wanted their wedding to reflect their faith and the
spirit of service, the San Antonio Express-News reported Sunday.
"We wanted to do a wedding that us," said Edwin Tamayo, 35, a physician, who that his bride, Loree Elliott, 38, not work on the roof that day. "I need her for the ceremony," he joked.
The
newlyweds said this will not be their last Habitat for Humanity home on
which they work. Elliot, in particular, said she had a specific reason
to continue pitching in on projects.
"I'm going to get on the roof next time," she said.
