Our Wedding

The best part about swing dancing is the connection you can develop with people. Many individuals from all walks of life come together to dance, learn, and make new friends. Swing dancing is about balancing with each other, learning from each other, and growing with each other. And from those lessons, and becoming closer together, love started to take hold. And just like learning and developing in swing dancing, love can grow and develop, and strengthen into something more. The more love strengthened, the closer we became, and are now seemingly inseparable. After the addition of our two joys, it was also time to solidify that love into something eternal. On Mother's Day, Amy was presented with a large gift. This actually turned out to be a scavenger hunt, and after uncovering several enjoyable gifts, her true present lay in wait at the bottom. A small symbol of our eternal bond, one she can proudly wear on her finger to display the love we have for each other. And now that our lives are coming together around us, we now have the means to solidify the eternal bond in matrimony.

From the Beginning...

Our Story

Details

 Mel and I have known each other since elementary school and over the years have grown to become best friends. We have had many adventures together and have kept close throughout the years visiting each others collages, meeting boyfriends turned fiances and now husbands, to being the God mother of both my children. I couldn't imagine my life with out this girl turned woman. She has been my voice of reason, my therapist  and has definitely kept me level headed when I needed it most. I love her like a sister and it is only fitting that she would be by my side on my wedding day.

I met Colleen in my sophomore year of college and we have been good friends ever since. It was almost an instant friendship when we found out we both loved watching horror movies which we gladly indulged in between our studies. We became suite mates halfway through that year and we became closer still. With impromptu trips to Tampa, Orlando and Key West the adventures continued. We also shared a love of dancing and enrolled in swing dancing which led me to meeting Mark. After graduating college we both went our separate ways but as fate would have it we got to meet up again first when I got to be part of her wedding and then when Mark and I moved close to where she was living and it was an instant re connect. Sadly she had to move away but I know we will remain close and I'm so happy to have her be a part of my wedding.

Brooke and I met when Caiden was in first grade. We were both classroom moms and also our boys were also in scouts together. Over the year our boys grew to be good friends and so did Brooke and I. We chatted while our kids played and while we worked together in the classroom getting things ready for class parties. Even though I have only known her for a short time she was always there to  lend a hand or an ear and offer mom advice as only a mother of boys could. Even though we have moved away, and I can't convince her to move here, we have still kept in contact with each other and she remains part of our lives. I'm excited that she is going to be with me on the day I get married.
