Welcome Family and Friends
Your presence at our wedding is the biggest gift. We are so excited to see you soon. Please feel no pressure to give anything off this list. However, if you were hoping to contribute to our adventures here are some ideas. We are downsizing and potentially moving in the near future, so we appreciate your willingness to gift us less traditional wedding items. Thanks, we love you all!
Honeymoon
The gravel roads of South America
Julie and I have been dreaming of an extended adventure together since before the pandemic. We are going to take this opportunity to make that a reality. The plan is to fly down to South America and see where our two legs can take us. We will start with some intensive Spanish lessons then head north. The exact details are not set in stone and a big part of the adventure is leaving things open and seeing what is around the next bend, or over the next hill.

If you had taken four years of Spanish and band you wouldn’t have had to do P.E.! Since that wasn’t in the cards, we have you covered. Congratulations!

Congratulations! Sorry we did not make it to the wedding. We wanted to make sure you survived the honeymoon prior to any financial commitments. We will continue to pray for your marriage. Love you both.
