Luke... I'm your father.
So, my good buddy Jeremy is coming to visit this afternoon. He is in town for Andrew Leroux's wedding. He is getting married at Duke Chapel. Jeremy is in the wedding party. He and Andrew were good friends in college and rommates for a while, too.
Jeremy is a great guy! He's a great friend, a man of God, and a romantic... which is helpful when you need some help impressing a girl. During my freshman year of college, Sabrina came to Theta Xi's semi-formal, Sweetheart. Jeremy and my rommate, Jeff, got some swords from Jeff's dad (retired-Marine, I believe). They dressed up in suits and pretended to be our chauffers for the evening. I think Jeremy even had the hat.
When we arrived, Jeremy and Jeff announced us and drew the swords and we walked under. It was very cool. The night was fun and memorable.
As for the title, Jeremy's nickname in college was Luke because he looks quite a bit like Mark Hamill. I was looking forward to them ringing our doorbell, looking through the peephole and shouting up the stairs that, "Mark Hamill's on my front door!" just to make Jeremy laugh.
