David CookLt. Corliss Cooper has been swept off her feet.
“I’m in love,” the Chattanooga police officer said.
They met three years ago in Alton Park. Immediately, Cooper knew she’d found her soul mate. First comes love, then comes marriage: This Monday, at 3 p.m., Cooper and her fiancee will exchange rings and vows. Their wedding colors are white and black; it’ll be a courthouse wedding. Cooper’s still trying to decide on a photographer.
“I’m nervous. I’m excited,” she said. “I’ve got this constant grin.”
It’s a destination wedding in Washington, D.C. When they return to Chattanooga, Cooper would like to begin filling out the paperwork that would add her new spouse to the benefits plan the city offers its employees.
