Four years later and we are finally tying the knot! For those of you that have known us for the duration of our relationship, you know that we weren't even expected to like one another. The first day that we met- we each ignored the other, until finally Mike -ever the gentleman- introduced himself. As soon as he smiled at me...I knew he couldn't be that bad.

From there, we began to spend time together- we enjoyed the 2005 Super Bowl, a trip to London (his treat), many trips to the local pubs, and finally- we were a couple. The next two years we spent together were full of fun...until he got an assignment.

The next thing we knew, Mike had an orders to Keesler AFB, and I had nothing. Fortunately, God was always on our side, and I was blessed to receive an assignment to the same location.

Another two years passed and alas...the proposal! The way Mike did it proves how well he knows me, and I will never forget the moment...but that is his story to tell. More importantly, I said yes!

We have decided to stay true to ourselves and keep things simple. We will be getting married on the Biloxi Beach, by the trio of palm trees (close to the main gate) at 2pm, on 22 Aug 2009.

We would like all of our guests to be comfortable, and request beach casual attire, no bathing suits please.

Of course we realize that August is the hottest month ever, so of course we plan to keep the ceremony short and sweet. Fortunately our reception will be help right across the street in an extension to the Biloxi Elks (VFW).

Our wedding reception will begin at 3pm and wll continue until 7pm.

For those that are unable to attend...we understand. We realize that this is short notice, and we appreciate all of our friends and family equally. We love you all, and wish that we could share the first day of the rest of our lives with everyone!

To those able to spend this moment watching while we exchange our vows...thank you so much for choosing to share this special day with us. We hope that you will enjoy every minute of it, and promise to make it worth your while.

Thank you to everyone near, far, old friends, and new, for supporting us during our relationship. We would never had made it this far without your love, support, and friendship.
