"It was many and many a year ago,

In a kingdom by the sea..."

I was a child and she was a child, when we first met on the south end of Kodiak Island. The boy from Beaverdam and the girl from Cape Hepburn, two commercial fish camps on opposite sides of Deadman Bay. More than fifteen years later, after six years as a couple, she said yes to a sunlit proposal on the shores of San Juan Island. Kneeling on the rocks of a Deadman Bay over 2,000 miles away from the one where we first met, I realized that I lived with no other thought than to love and be loved by her.

This summer, on June 30th, we are officially going to tie the knot and celebrate a childhood romance that will last a lifetime. We hope to see you all at our wedding by the sea!
