KTUL Wedding Getaway

My (now) wife, Corrie, was from Tulsa, OK. We dated long-distance for 7 months (followed by an engagement of 6 months) while I was working in another state. The wedding was in Tulsa on January 20, 2018, but we wanted to spend our first night as a married couple at our new together home that we had just purchased. I would have loved to have flown us back home but had enough on my plate to think about, without trying to flight plan and monitor the January weather as well! We had resigned ourselves to the three-hour drive until a co-worker who is an instructor where I work, volunteered to selflessly fly down to KTUL in a 182 and gave us a ride back home after the wedding reception.

It was a perfect flight after a perfect day and a beautiful way for Corrie to have some closure – looking back from the air at the home she’d known and excited to build a new one wherever we would land together.
