RECEPTION TO FOLLOW

Our Wedding

Ed and I met online and our first date was at a marina. When I picked the meeting spot I had no idea how much boats meant to him! Now 6 years later we still always seem to be on the same page!On that first date he asked me "what is your dream", I said to live on the beach. It was something that I had just decided a few months earlier after going to Hilton Head to celebrate my parents 50th anniversary. Just about 6 months later he helped me make that dream come true! Now 6 years later we have our own beautiful home that meshes the best of both of our worlds!You see a pattern here, don't you?!Ed and I can't wait to celebrate our wedding with you all and simply HAVE FUN!!
