Ernest and Cecelia are divorcees who were set up on a blind date by a mutual friend. At first, they weren’t sure if it was a good match but with time and slowly adding playdates with their children, their love grew. With Ernest’s daughters as junior bridesmaids and Cecelia’s son’s as junior groomsmen, they got married and recently welcomed a son.

His FN is from this list - https://www.familyeducation.com/baby-names/cowboy-western-boy-names and his MN is old fashion but not unheard of (like Ernest).

Odds are, you nudged shoulders on a busy street
with a broken human today, and you didn't even know it.
Practice empathy. Practice kindness. Always.
