Merry minglers

Lynn and Vernon Chance (left) and Sybil and Fred Patten were among guests mixing and mingling at the Shehee-Kramer wedding at the Shreveport Club. Although the groom has known the Shehee family forever, Shehee only really paid attention when they ran into each other at a board meeting in Alexandria. (He had been married 40 years and was a widower, said the bride.) Their first date: "I asked him for a tour of his funeral homes! We never stopped dating," said Shehee, who is vice president of Kilpatrick Life Insurance Co., and Kilpatrick’s Rose-Neath Funeral Homes, Crematorium and Cemeteries, Inc.
