Shoemaker's Puzzle

We’ve known them both nearly two decades. I think the first musical we did together was "My Fair Lady" in September 1998, when the twins played matching housemaids. They were pretty, talented, and fun to be with – the kind of girls everyone wanted to call their friends. Today Jamie is a personal trainer and Melissa is a massage therapist. They still have the infectious enthusiasm for life that drew people to them when they were teenagers. Jamie, always the more competitive, now holds the Guiness World Record for catching the most bridal bouquets. It’s a bigger accomplishment than you might think. First you must be invited to fifty weddings. Then you’ve gotta beat a host of other ambitious brides’ maids to the punch, fifty times. Finally, you have to coax documentation – photos, video and witness statements – out of all those brides. But Jamie never quit. “You can do anything if you know your end goal,” she says.
