Shay & James

We're Getting Married!

Welcome Family and Friends

Thank you all for your love and support in our much awaited and anticipated "official" union! We intend to keep our ceremony private and intimate with us and the kids. We know there are many of you who would love to be there with us on our big day, but this is the best choice for us and our family. For our honeymoon, we'll be taking off for a weekend alone. We're very excited for this and we know you all are too! Thank you to everyone who has watched us grow together and have been wishing for this day alongside us! We've had a few inquiries already, sooo if any of you feel inclined to help us enjoy a peaceful time together, you can do so here. As always, much appreciated but never required. Your well wishes are more than enough and most important for us!
