Finding peace, harmony and fireworks

After the tragic events of 9/11, Buddy Butler wanted to help his country so he decided to join the U.S. Army. He was just back from Korea when he attended his cousin Reb's wedding. It was there he spotted Nikki Hensley in a beautiful black dress. He'd been trying to talk with her all night, but couldn't get up the nerve until he asked his cousin to introduce him. Buddy then had the courage to ask Nikki to dance. Nikki says she was so nervous because, \"he's got the most beautiful eyes, and I was all smitten from the get go.\" They danced, but Nikki had to leave the wedding early to get her 5-year-old daughter Addison to bed. The next day at work, Nikki told some of her co-workers she met the man she was going to marry.

A week later, Nikki was at Reb's house and asked him what Buddy's dating status was like. Reb immediately phoned Buddy in Fort Campbell and put an incredulous Nikki on the phone with him. Buddy didn't get Nikki's phone number at the wedding and had wanted to ask her out on a formal date. So he used this opportunity to ask her to accompany he and his friend on a double date to Nashville to see the Fourth of July fireworks. From that date on, Buddy and Nikki talked every day. Three weeks later Buddy found out he was being deployed to Iraq. Both were heart broken.

Nikki drove Buddy to the base where he told her, \"Whenever I leave I never look back. It's better to say goodbye and just walk away. But leave it to my dad to yell something at me, and I had to look back. I just wanted to ... and I saw her one last time before I left.\"

While he was away, Nikki didn't get to speak with Buddy much so she stayed in touch with his family and made sure to send as many care packages as possible.

Six months later Buddy returned and when he stepped off the plane, and looked down and saw Nikki standing with his mom, he knew at that moment he was going to marry her. He followed through on that feeling when he took Nikki to a park and gave her a penny to make a wish on and throw into a fountain. She wished that he wouldn't have to go back to Iraq and when she turned around Buddy was on one knee. \"It was the smartest decision I ever made,\" says Buddy. He can't wait to make Nikki and Addison a part of his life. These days Addison spends most of her time practicing for the wedding.

This will be a first marriage for Buddy. Nikki's first marriage ended in divorce.
