What a blessing it has been that we met. We knew eachother a few years before ever considering an involved relationship. We met at Sonrise Community Church in the youth group. About 2 years ago, we began talking more seriously, and within a few weeks had our first, amazing and very eventful date. That's another story in itself! Then within another few weeks, he was off to boot camp for the Marines. We celebrated our first dating anniversary on June 18th, 2006 while he was gone in Virginia. In our first year we had only spent about 3 months collectively together, as he was away with the Marines. We believe that God has placed a soul mate in everyone's life, and we both feel completely blessed to have found one another!

Formal invitations will be sent out to all of our guests. The ceremony will begin at 11:30 a.m. on November 17, 2007. It will be an outdoor event, so please be prepared to face the weather! It is located at the Chantclaire Country Manor in Escondido, California. Typically it does not get too chilly during this month, however, it is difficult to predict exactly that far in advance; we all know how accurate the weather forecasts are! Being on time is very important, so please give yourselves plenty of time to arrive.

The reception will be held at the same venue, and still outdoors. There will be a formal menu and dancing, as well as an open bar with select beers, wines, and of course a champagne toast. It is a formal event, so please dress accordingly keeping in mind that it may be chilly.

We look forward to seeing you on our special day!
