Our Story
Welcome to our celebration of “Old Love”. We feel so blessed to have united after half a century of life, with another (hopefully) half century together!
Our celebration is centric around joining our two families. We will be a mighty family of 9! Yes, 9!!!
We are geographically challenged... our children are sprinkled all over the U.S.! We have two homes; in Summerlin, Las Vegas and Orono, MN. We are attempting to split our time evenly between the two, which is easier said than done with our crazy schedule (when it comes back)! We feel so fortunate to have the cabin on Gull Lake where we can all gather in the summer and any other time during the year we can escape to our favorite place on Earth.
July 18 is a true marriage of us and our seven children!

Attire
Our wedding is casual! We will be on the lawn and hopefully on the lake for a portion of the evening. The ceremony is picnic style.
We are asking you to wear white. This is not literal white head to toe! LOL. Just a white dress, shirt or even a white fedora.
Leave your Stilettos and patent leather dress shoes at home! Flip flops, sneakers or even bare feet are appropriate for our rustic celebration.
The weather in July is unpredictable. Please do as many sun salutations as you can the morning of the 18th. ☀️ We will be prepared for rain and have blankets in case of chilly evening temps, but hopefully will not need them!
