On my wedding night, my new wife and I were checking into the Amway (nice hotel in downtown GR, for those of you not in the area). As we were at the desk checking in, both with our wedding attire on still, a man in military fatigues (I want to say Marines or Army... I know he wasn't wearing Navy or Air Force) came walking over. He extended his hand, telling us he just wanted to say congrats on getting married.
I was a little stunned, not really sure what to say for a moment. A soldier, coming over to shake my hand? Once I had a moment to soak everything in, I responded, telling him that it was me who should be coming and shaking his hand, thanking him for his service.
