Carol Anne and I met on stage in the spring of 1996 and soon fell in love during fall production of The Fantasticks at the Green Room Community Theatre of Newton, North Carolina.

I asked for Carol’s hand in marriage with the cloak and dagger help of friends and family on the second Saturday night in September of 1999.

Please join us in welcoming The Marriage of Carol Anne Coble and Jeffrey Scott Hartman on the ninth day in September of the year 2000. The ceremony will be held on stage in the Charles E. Jeffers Theatre of Hickory Community Theatre at 3 o’clock. A celebration will immediately follow downstairs in The Fireman’s Kitchen.

Guests are encouraged to dress medieval and bring to share a photograph of themselves with one or both of the betrothed.

You wonder how these things begin.
Well, this begins with a glen.
It begins with a season which,
For want of a better word,
We might as well call – September.The Fantasticks
