We have tried to let three themes guide us as we plan for the big day: delight, simple, and important. We hope you've seen our commitment to those along the way.
"Delight" is our way of talking about the fun and playful tone that we want to set. We are thrilled to make our way to April 4, 2009, and we want our guests to relax and enjoy celebrating with us!
"Simple" refers to the details of the event. We will strive to keep the planning simple with a "less-is-more" attitude and a commitment to spend money in a way that we will be happy about later.
The event marks an "important" day in our lives, where two paths merge. But, there are other "important" components to our wedding day: the words we hear and speak, the people who join us on the first day of our journey, and the work we do to prepare ourselves for the months and years after our wedding.
You'll find that some of our decisions are less than traditional, but we are committed to putting our fingerprints on the plans of the day. We have tried to reduce expenses in ways that add value to the experience for us and for you. We want the elements of our wedding to be powerful symbols for us and for you as you learn our story, so watch and listen for the meaning behind the symbols. This will not be a cookie-cutter wedding; we hope you walk away thinking and celebrating!
Also, a word about those who are present at the ceremony: we are hoping our guests will be participants, not merely spectators. We want to begin our marriage in a community of folks who love us and will challenge us to love each other. We are products of our separate communities, which are merging more and more each day, and we cannot continue on without the support we've always received from you.
