Save the Date

Hey everyone, I've finally sat down to type up an entry to get the word out about our wedding plans. SAVE THE DATE - Saturday, September 12, 2009. Yes, this could be considered "short notice" for a wedding, but we hope that you can come out and celebrate what will be our 5th anniversary together. Juli and I met on 9/11/04 after each of us posted a profile on the Portland Mercury "Love Lab," a local online dating site. No, not the sister-site "Lust Lab" for the more promiscuous types (not that there is anything wrong with that). After our first date it was quite apparent we were a perfect match, and just three months later while spending a vacation with friends Brian & JJ Baumann and Rich Matkins in Puerta Vallarta, I proposed to Juli on the beach while the New Year fireworks were cracking away in the sky. That is the long and short of it, and now we're planning a party to tie the proverbial knot. Neither of us are interested in a 'traditional wedding,' so do not expect to see any long white gowns or black ties. Our party location was a speakeasy back in the 1920's, and we may dress to fit the same style...but more to come on that. As for now, please consider coming out to celebrate!
