Ceci and Jim met many years ago when Jim attended high school youth group at Our Lady of Lourdes. Jim was a good friend of Ceci’s older brother Nate. When Jim became the youth minister at Our Lady of Lourdes, Ceci was an active member of the parish and youth programs. When she was in college she volunteered many hours at Lourdes and helped with numerous programs in the parish.

Ceci and Jim shared many of the same friends and had many common interests. When Ceci returned from the Dominican Republic in the summer of 2006, they began dating.

During a trip to California in the Spring of 2007 to celebrate Ceci’s uncle's marriage, Jim proposed. On June 28th Ceci and Jim, in the company of their family and friends, will begin a new chapter of their life together.

Ceci and Jim Mains were married at Our Lady of Lourdes church on a hot Saturday morning. For the record it was the hottest day of the summer hitting a steaming 103 degrees in downtown Vancouver. They celebrated with over 250 of their closest friends and family.

The newlyweds honeymooned in southern California and spent time at the Disneyland resort. They returned home a week later to spend time with family and friends before going back to the regular routine of life.

Cecilia is an office manager at Clark College and also works weekends as a server at Newport Bay. Jim is a life skills coach with 4: CAST and has established a new organization Navigation Point.

On their free time Jim and Ceci are trying to get their home organized and write thank you cards!
