About a year ago, we met through a mutual friend. Both of us were in need of a friend and began to talk occasionally to each other through email and over the phone. As time went by, our friendship began to grow and we began to talk everyday. In October 13th of this year, we made a decision to try working on a relationship that was "more than just friends." On October 16th, Julie made a trip to Houston, Texas where Olivia was living to surprise her. 2 days later when it came time to leave, we were both beside ourselves. On this day, October 18th, Olivia proposed to Julie. On October 20th, Olivia moved to Illinois to be with Julie and this is when we began to plan our ceremony. The decision was made that we would commit our lives to one another on February 1st, 2008.

Our ceremony will be held at the Irish Inn in Ozark, Il. on February 1st, 2008 at 6:00pm. There is a set of directions and map included with your ceremony invitation.

The reception will directly follow the ceremony at the Irish Inn. There will be a cold buffet bar including sandwiches, salads, etc. There will also be wine served to all of the guests compliments of Julie and Olivia. Other alcohol that is desired must be brought by the guest. (Please remember to drink responsibly. Thank You!)

If you are coming from out of state and plan to fly, here are a couple of airports that would best accomidate your needs: St. Louis Lambert Airport or Evansville Indiana Airport

We are so blessed to have such friends and family like all of you! We are so excited to see all of you at the ceremony! Please remember to R.S.V.P. to the phone number on your card. There will be a guest list check at the door to ensure that there is setting reserved in your name for you and your attendant (optional).
Thank You all so much for everything!!
Love,
Julie and Olivia
