the family

Thanks to everyone who joined us on our special day as we pledged our vows and celebrated the beginning of our biggest adventure.

Once upon a time ... a soccer tournament was to be held. The pink team, representing all that is good, needed players. It was here, that a young maiden from the East Coast met a young lad from the West Coast.

On a hot summer day, after the pink team honed their skills on the practice field, the lad asked the maiden if she would accompany him to the local beer hall. She accepted and they shared a refreshing pizza and ale. Although sweaty and generally unpresentable, the two were captivated by conversation. Lucky for the lad, the maiden accepted a request for a formal date.

The courtship progressed and it wasn't long before the maiden met the lad's daughter. This inseparable trio grew closer together through family visits, travel to the Magic Kingdom, and daily adventures.

Then one day, the lad was to travel to a foreign land for a quest of knowledge. The maiden and two of their closest friends joined him. Their journey took them to a beautiful castle in the great mountains. In order to get a better view, the brave companions traversed a suspension bridge overlooking the castle.

It was on this bridge, high over the castle, that the lad asked the maiden for her hand in marriage. She said "Yes!" and the two commemorated the moment with a love lock.
