Tonya Beach & John (Jack) Spinks
Our Story
We are both very grateful for the great friendship we have with our dear friend Henry Xue and want to thank him for being responsible for our meeting eachother. We have had a wonderful friendship since the day we met. Unfortunately at the time we were both currently seeing someone, so therefore we were not able to persue our relationship at that time. We did keep in touch, and also became great friends. When we realized that neither of us were in a relationship anymore, we decided to act on our feelings, and see where things led. And here we are two years after we met, happier than we could have ever been. And so very much in love. We have chose to begin our new life together in the beautiful state of Florida, not only for our wedding, but also to reside there. We are both great fans of the beautiful Emerald Coast and are very happy to enjoy our life together there. Our ceremony is going to be located on the beautiful white sand beach of Destin, Florida at sunset. If ever any of you have missed out on seeing the beauty of that time of day in Destin, you most definately need to at least once. Although I will warn you that if you see it once, you will go back for sure. So, back to us. As you all know, Tonya has three children from a previous marriage, and Jack has no children. Two of the children being teenagers, is always a challenge to anyone, expecially one who has no children. So therefore it has been a little bumpy with the adjustments, as well as with adjusting to a five year old. Although the bumps have been here and there it has only given us more belief in our love for eachother, as well as our love for the children. We are extremely excited to see all of you at the wedding, although it being in Florida we realize that not all of you will make it, so we have decided to have a reception in St. Louis on August 29th, in order for everyone to be a part of this. The date is two weeks after the wedding due to our wishes to spend our honeymoon on a beautiful Carnival cruise ship to the Western Carribean area. Jack has never had the pleasure of seeing the beautiful waters in Mexico and it is Tonya's favorite vacation, so we are going to share our wonderful first days of marriage in the most beautiful place ever. We do have a honeymoon registry located at www.carnivalcruise.com as well as being registered at Bed, Bath & Beyond, registry number 5095426, and Target.com as well. We appreciate any and all gifts, but most of all want everyone that possibly can, to be a part of our big day! Please sign our guest book and let us know you stopped in! Thanks!

We again would like to envite each and every one of our wonderful friends and family to this most special day. We do understand that not everyone is able to attend with the distance. We are greatly sorry for that, but we have both since the day we became engaged, wanted to be married on a beautiful beach. So therefore we are having our reception two weeks after the ceremony to allow everyone to attend. It will be located in St. Louis, Missouri for all of our family and friends who were unable to attend.

Travel Arrangements
The two closest airports are Fort Walton Beach and Pensacola International. The Pensacola is farther away (about 45 minutes) but is a larger airport and cheaper rates to fly into that location. Also there are many rental car companies if needed in both airport areas. There are several hotels, motels, condos, and beach houses available for rent in the Destin area. If anyone needs more info contact me and I will be more than happy to assist everyone. We will update this site regularly, so when there is more info on everything we will let you know.
