12 12 12 Wedding in Lehigh Acres

The Bride Nancy Kitchens

In the dining room of Lehigh Acres Rehabilitation and Health Center, Nancy Kitchens and Jim Trautman, tied the knot. The theme was white and red with roses petals.

Staff of Lehigh Acres Rehabilitation and Health Center helped provide the rings, decorations, clothing and food.

Scott Lendh, activities director helped plan the big day with Erin Schleif, social services director.

The couple met in rehab four years ago and kept coming back for different medical needs. They are both now long-term residents whose rooms are right in front of each other’s.

Trautman hopes for happiness and a long life together. One day, the former chef said, maybe he’ll even get the chance to cook for her.
