First comes love …

We met a little over 2 years ago. We’d like to say “little did we know we’d met the person we’d spend the rest of our life with” but anyone that knows us would say that we KNEW the moment we met that we had found our match. It was and still is magnetic. The connection we feel is sometimes beyond words and overwhelming in a love drunk, honeymoon, never going to end type of way.

Then comes marriage …

You all know how this part goes. We’ve postponed our dream barn wedding and instead decided to have a small beach ceremony as soon as we can possibly get hitched. We aren’t old but we aren’t kids either. We’ve learned and grown and we’ve uncovered what makes us whole. We are complete, me and him, me and her. We are lucky to be a result of your love, the love of our family and friends, a love that continues to surprise us and overflow a cup we already thought was full. What we’re missing is something made from us, someone we can look upon and call ‘ours.’

Then comes baby in the baby carriage …

We are lovingly embarking on IUI and IVF - medical necessities and ones we have accepted with gratitude and patience. In the second week of Tim and I pursuing each other, he asked me how many kids I wanted. I answered “However many I can have.” When I asked him the same, he answered, “12.” While that’s pretty much impossible now and a little ambitious on his part, we are still optimistic!

Your presence at our wedding is what we will cherish most. We literally yearn for the opportunity to celebrate with all of you!! If you feel the need to offer us a gift, please offer us the opportunity to start a family. We wish for nothing more than to have a family of our own and would be beyond grateful if you could share in that journey with us by contributing below.

With all our love,

Tim & Shea
