We know it sounds crazy having a wedding 1,000 miles away from where we grew up, but please humor us. We are seeing it as a great opportunity for all of you to finally see the life we have built here over the past couple of years. Many of you have not been able to see where we live, work, and play, and it means so much to us that you have the chance to not only visit with us for our special day (a.k.a. Just the Beginning!), but witness where our lives take place (from the house we just bought near the beach to the park where Lynn first introduced Jason to the game of croquet...just another game she beats him at!) Thanks so much for being a part of our lives at this special time; both of us feel that the past two years that we have been together have been richly blessed by the love and friendship we share with one another, and we can't wait to share it with all of you. Plus, the sunshine rocks and we wanted to give your skin one last chance to get scorched, before the harsh winter winds rip through the midwest burying you all in a fluffy blanket of snow...sorry, had to rub it in a little bit!
