Back in the day, before wireless phones were common and the pager was a symbol of the well-connected businessman, creative types found new and interesting ways to communicate using pager-type a primitive form of text messaging.
For example, if one wanted to send a quick hello via a page, he or she would send the digits “01134″ which, when read upside down would resemble the word “hello.”
If you needed a prompt reply, one might at the numbers “911″ to the suffix of a call-back number. And, if you wanted to send an “I love you,” you would send “143.”
The first time the Bride & Groom said “I love you” to each other, they did so by saying, “143. Keziah said “143″ softly and Ryan was caught a little off-guard. He knew what 143 meant, and responded, “Did you just say what I think you said?” Keziah quietly affirmed her affection and Ryan responded with his very own “I love you too.”
To this date, they’ve been using 143 to show their love and affection toward each other, in e-mails, text messages, and even in person!
So, if you hear “143″ murmured during the ceremony or reception it’s not a countdown or even a time!
It’s another example of the Bride & Groom’s amazing love for each other!
