My Cousins' Weddings
Julie Stevenson - Audit Manager
When you work in an environment as close as PKM’s, your coworkers become like family. And, this summer, there were a lot of “cousins” getting married up and down the east coast. Five PKM employees got married this summer in four weddings between June and August.
Wedding season kicked off in June when audit senior, Rob Tysver, wed his long-time girlfriend at a ceremony in Atlanta in June. Several PKM people showed up from staff to partners to wish them the best of luck and also to have a little fun.
In late June, audit staff, Stephen Clements, was married in South Georgia. While I wasn’t at this wedding, rumor has it, it was a lot of fun.
The first weekend of August, audit senior, Lacie Atkinson, was married on Jekyll Island. It was an event I would not miss — right off the beach! Some of us brought the whole family down for a weekend at the beach and to see Lacie get married.
The last wedding of the summer was between two PKM employees. Several of us traveled all the way up to Rochester, New York just to be there when audit seniors, Jamie Hood and Jenna Bianchi, were married. It was a celebration on the thirteenth tee box at a club where Jenna’s family are members. Avid golfers? I think so!
People at PKM really know how to throw parties, particularly weddings. They were all a great deal of fun!
