Hello friends and family,

We are excited to have you join us at our wedding in June! Because we are a bit older - our friend Racheal kindly says "established"! - we are blessed to already have most of what we need for our new home.

However, due to the pandemic, we have not yet travelled to France to meet most of Etienne's family and - due to COVID - most of them cannot join us at the wedding. We look forward to traveling there this summer as a family with Camille! We are especially excited to see Jacques, Etienne's father (who just turned 77!), who is looking forward to see his granddaughter again (and "a little bit", of course, the newlyweds).

We would love your help with our plane tickets and train travel for our trip!

We plan to fly into Paris and then visit Evreux (Etienne's hometown in Normandy) - not far from Lisieux, where we hope to visit the Basilica of St. Therese!

We'll also travel to Bordeaux to meet most of Etienne's family. We hope to make a side trip to Lourdes.

Finally, we'll be crossing the border into Spain to visit the monastery in Bergara where Etienne's aunt lives a contemplative life.

We look forward to celebrating with all of you in June!

Blessings,

Julie & Etienne
