A poetic match: Saying 'I do' at OU 
Sara Phillips, BSJ '03, and Jared Puffer, BSJ '00

Sara Phillips and Jared Puffer met and married in Athens.

Excerpts from a poem by Sara Phillips


She was working at WOUB News/

The campus TV and Radio station/

It was there she crossed paths with one senior boy/

The subject of this little narration/

 

His name was Jared; he took a liking to her/

Worked up the courage to ask her out/

She said yes, and was thrilled at the thought/

But also nervous, without a doubt/

 

Her junior year he left, off to grad school at UMass/

It was all she could do not to cry/

But despite the miles that separated the two/

They continued their love, each day that went by/

 

Her senior year came, and she graduated/

And left behind her beloved OU/

Off she went to be with the one that she loved/

To New England, a place so new/

 

It was at OU, on one visit in April/

Where an event happened that changed her life/

She was overcome with emotion, couldn’t believe it/

When he said, "Sara, will you be my wife?"/

 

So what better a place to have such an event/

Than the town where it all began/

The wedding took place at First United Methodist Church/

She finally got to marry that man!

 

And when it was over, all said and done/

A day filled with such joy, love, and laughter/

They were thrilled that it happened at OU/

The perfect place to begin their happily ever after!
