We met through mutual friends, started talking online, and finally went out for dinner. We have since been together for two and one-half years. Kevin has been a wonderful step dad to Becca and Jake and they adore him almost as much as he adores them. We also have William, the newest edition to our family. At the wedding, Will will be almost 11 months old.

As a couple, we feel lucky to have met one another. Not in a cliche "You complete me" type of way but in an honest, quite, and pure "I love you for who you are" kind of way.

As a family, we are very lucky and content to get to spend as much time as we are allowed simply enjoying the company.

While we have been engaged for over a year, we didn't start planning the wedding until January. As often happens when you have two procrastinators working together, we just kept thinking we had more time! As a result, these past couple of months have been nothing but wedding, wedding, wedding.

We are so excited to see how everything comes together and to celebrate with all of our friends and family. We feel so blessed to have so many wonderful people in our lives. We can't wait to see you all!
