We were hanging out at our 15 year high school reunion...we knew that we knew each other (but just can't seem to remember much about middle or high school!)  At that time, we were both in relationships.  A year later, we happened to see each other at Rendevous, each with separate plans to show up at midnight.  And then it started...

On 08/08/08, Jeff proposed in front of all of my friends.  (Of course, I never officially accepted unless he would promise take me to Bora Bora).  Since that night, Jeff has proposed almost every day.  Of course our son, John, came along somewhere along the way.  One day, I said I would accept a camper as a symbol of his commitment along with his proposal.  So he bought our camper...and continued to propose every night!

We finally decided to make it official so we planned a wedding on the beach for 12/13/14!

We are getting married on 12/13/14 at sunset (around 5:30pm) on the beach near the Sandpearl Resort in Clearwater Beach, Florida.  A small reception in our suite will follow, along with a night by the firepit on the beach.

Guests are encouraged to wear pink and black but something comfortable and casual. 

After the wedding night, we are setting sail on Carnival Pride to the Western Caribbean for a fun-filled week in Cozumel, Mexico, Belize, Honduras, and Grand Cayman.  We hope to experience some of the exciting excursions during our travels, such as cave-tubing on the river in Belize, the ATV Jungle Adventure in Cozumel, Snorkeling in Grand Cayman, and horseback riding on the beach in Mahogany Bay...One thing we've perfected in our relationship is the ability to have fun and experience the thrills of life!  This will be the vacation of our lifetime, well, until we get to Bora Bora!

We are having a casual reception in Columbus on January 17, 2015 at York Golf Club, where we will have a small ceremony to involve our five children and celebrate our marriage with our families and friends.
