We are very excited about this. We are equally excited about getting to see all of our family and friends, which while not the primary goal of the ceremony is, at least in our minds, almost as important. In thinking about how to plan our wedding, we thought about the weddings we've been to over the years, and our favorites all had one thing in common - time spent with people we love. In fact, as many of you know, we actually started dating after spending three days together at one such wedding last year. So we decided that we would like to make our wedding more than just a reception and a ceremony - we want to make it a chance for all of our friends and family to get together again. A reunion of sorts, or a retreat. Now, we know that many of you are very busy, and if you are not able to come a day or two early, we completely understand. But for those of you who have the time, we would love to see you a day or two before our marriage. To learn more about the wedding, the events we have planned before (and after) the ceremony, places to stay, transportation, etc., please see the links to the left. If you have any suggestions, please let us know, we want to make this as easy as possible for everyone -Dana and Bob coonsthiele@gmail.com |
