ting the best Valentine-inspired

win.”’

Porter's prize included one-night
accommodation at the Vancouver
Hotel, flowers from West Van-
couver Florist, dinner and
breakfast for two at the Timber

Her Valentine read:

Most of us go through life
harried

And consider
we've carried

But Eve planned for

A surprise for this summer

Words straight
from the heart

JENNIFER PORTER and her fiancee Craig Scott enjoyed a
second Valentine’s celebration Wednesday.

July 26th, we're getting mar-
ried.

Porter said she had planned to
announce the marriage date in the
paper since January, but wrote the
fimerick the night before the con-
test ended.

The two have dated for the past
two years, after meeting at work.
Both were performing with a jazz
band. She was the singer and Scott
was the drummer.

Porter is studying music at Van-
couver Community College, and
Scott is a full-time University of
British Columbia student.

They both continue to perform
at local clubs in their spare time.

“We're both really busy so it’s
nice to take a break,”’ said Porter.

She said the night’s highlight
was enjoying a leisurely dinner at
the hotel’s restaurant.

“If we do eat out, it’s usually
somewhere fast,'’ she said.

Porter said she also appreciated
the gift of flowers. But added
Scott had sent her bouquets twice
during February.

“*He’s very romantic,” she said.
