The Wedding

In way of a general announcement/save the date, Megan and I can announce that we've set some firm details down for our wedding:

May 19th, 2012, in Lititz, Pennsylvania. The ceremony will be held in Lititz Spring Park, with a reception to follow shortly thereafter at the General Sutter Inn, which is within walking distance of the actual ceremony.

As of right now, we're still working out a couple of things: where we'll register if you want to buy us stuff, and what the guest list will be. We're operating with a limit of a hundred and fifty people, and we're looking to keep it fairly small anyway. Invitations will be sent out when that list is finalized.

There's more information to come, and I'll be putting together a tab that'll have the pertinent information handy. Entries will be tagged here.

Needless to say, I'm rather pleased at all this. We've been looking at a bunch of ideas, and the Park and Inn are both practical and both very nice locations for a day like this. It should be quite a bit of fun.

For Dan and Kate

I think most people will agree with me that this is a celebration that is well overdue and long anticipated by our respective families.

Dan, Kate, you pocess something that has long been sought, but rarely known or experienced amonst those who strive for true love.

In the eight years that I have wittnessed the two of you together, I've watched your love grow and mature with age. Love is not a singular collision of emotion and chemistry; it is a journey, one that must be taken with care and exploration together.

Your marriage tonight is not the top of the mountain, but yet another starting point, a great milestone in your lives.

Dan, Kate, you are facing a future of uncertain surroundings. With the love that you have for one another, you are the steady footing on which you march forward. It will help you through the best of times, and those that are most trying; it is the bright point that has brought you, and your families here together tonight, and may it shine brightly far, far into the future.
