Hello friends and family,

We're getting married and want to thank you for all of the love and support we've received!

While we would love to see all of you on our wedding day, we're both drawn to a more intimate affair. We'll be joined by our parents, Michelle's sister and her sister's fiancé. Our dear friend, Chantel, will be officiating.

Michelle and I met about two and a half years ago. We started working for the same company on the same day and were the only two in our orientation. We heard a lot about each other through our overlapping circles of friends but didn't hang out much that first year. It wasn't until our friend, Hassan, learned the nifty art of group texting and sent one to us both. We went for hikes and drives, then dinners and adventures!

There was an expiration date on our fun as I was moving to New York. Saying goodbye was painful. Thankfully, I came to my senses and drove all the way back to Montana from Atlanta - picked Michelle up and kept going until we hit the Oregon coast! Our love for one another took off and grows stronger every day as does our faith.

We're moving to Livingston, MT and have a wonderful house to turn into a home. Michelle is back in school, working towards a degree in psychology. I’ll be working while weighing my own ambition to further my education. Your continued support is a blessing and we'd ask that you let us know how we can show our love and support for you as well.

Our friends and family know we like to do things a little differently, but many have asked us about gift ideas. We expect nothing from you but would appreciate any prayers or gifts you wish to extend.

If you’d like, please help us start our life together by contributing to the items on our registry. We have divided high priced items into multiple smaller priced units (our honeymoon flights are $2000 and divided into $50 units). If you wish, please select the number of units and your gift will go towards the indicated experience/items. As these items are already in the works, any contribution you make will help to alleviate our burdens.

Our plan is to enjoy our marriage in this quiet paradise for a while before venturing out to share our love for each other and all of you! Thank you so much for keeping us in your hearts—we’re so grateful for all of you.

With love,

James and Michelle
