While deployed to Iraq, Francis and Liam began talking through a mutual friend. Despite limited availability to talk to one another, they both new from their first conversations that each person was special. As their friendship grew, Francis and Liam began to talk everyday and spend as much time as possible with each other despite Francis living in Vermont and South Dakota (don't ya know) and Liam living in Alaska. After spending much of Christmas 2007 and weekends in Seattle, Vermont, Tennessee, Alaska and South Dakota they both knew that they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together.
As Francis and Liam talked of marriage, neither wanted to have a large wedding, so they decided to tie the knot during their Christmas vacation and to keep the news quiet until Liam returned from his upcoming deployment to Afghanistan. However, Francis's conscience got the best of her and they decided to announce to their families two weeks prior to the big day.
On the day after arriving in Alaska to spend Christmas with Liam, they got married in their house with her parents and Liam's two close friends from Alaska.
