Mark and I met at the dentist office. I was the office manager and Mark came in to have his teeth cleaned. Immediately after he left I was on the phone with my sister telling her all about the gorgeous bald man that had just come into the office. On Mark's second visit he asked me out. He was so smooth...he said, "I bet you have a boyfriend to go home to huh?" I said, "No." He said, "Would you like to go to dinner?" I agreed and we've been together almost everyday since! I knew from the moment we met that he was someone I wanted to know forever. And from what he says, he couldn't stop thinking about me after the first appointment! :o)

Our wedding will be held on October 11th, 2008 at 6:45pm, at a gorgeous Gazebo on Fleming Island. It is an outdoor wedding, but should be rather nice in October. All guest will be picked up via Limo bus at the hotel and transported to the wedding site. The colors of the Bridesmaids are Pearl Pink and Truffle Brown, so you can plan your dresses ladies! Since it is an evening wedding the dress should be semi-formal. The one thing I keep hearing is that people wish they knew the colors of the wedding before hand so they don't match the bridesmaids! LOL.

After the wedding, we will enjoy a champagne toast together accompanied by chocolate covered strawberries. The guest will then be transported to our reception which will be held at the Fleming Island Country Club. The reception/wedding theme is Asian inspired. Many who know me, know that I love the asian drawings and characters of writing. There will be h'orderves immediately upon arrival at the clubhouse. Dinner will be a buffet around 8:00-8:30pm and will be a there will be a cash bar for those who wish to drink.

The airport to fly into is JAX (Jacksonville International). I have found an amazing travel company that specializes in finding great deals, and competes with all the top competing "cheap" search engines. The hotel that I'd like to reserve for everyone would be SleepInn and Suites Fleming Island in Orange Park, FL. It's fairly close to the wedding/reception site, and not to far from our home. The hotel itself is rather nice, but you can get a better rate at this travel site: www.ytbtravel.com/clfranklin It's about $20 cheaper on the travel website, but if there are no openings online, call the hotel and book one under the wedding name, I did reserve some.

We look forward to seeing all of you at our wedding and hope you can all make it. Although things have moved rather quickly for us, we have continued to grow and love one another each and everyday, and cannot wait until the day our souls are joined together for eternity.
