From Sami:
Hey everyone!
We are SO excited to share our story!
We met. We fell in love. We had the longest courtship ever... And now we are getting married!
Along the way we introduced each other to our friends and family and now we have the best group of loved ones who support us and we can't wait to celebrate with you all in the DR.
We decided to do a small private ceremony in Columbus on May 17, 2025. We will be husband and wife when we party with you all in the DR.
There is good news, and more good news! First, we are sparing you all the HOT 95 degree ceremony, and doing a 2-hour cocktail party followed by a marriage celebration reception! All the fun things are included-Drinks, Dinner, Dancing, CAKE!
Please, seriously- NO GIFTS! Having everyone there will be gift enough.
Please look at the other pages for a list of events and things we will be doing while in the DR!
All our love!
Sami & Shane

From Shane:
Yo! You are invited because you are extremely special to both of us. You have shown us love and kindness, and we appreciate and love you! Not only do we want you in the DR, we NEED you in the DR. We both love each of you and would love to share this special time with you. So:
1. Get your ass to the DR
2. NO Gifts (not even cards). Anyone showing up with gifts will be escorted off the property! Please donate to your favorite charity in lieu of any gifts.
3. Wear whatever you want! Guys - when you are packing and your other half tells you to pack slacks, tell them Shane says no way! It is going to be hot. Come in a swimsuit, shorts, whatever you want. We would like to see shirts at the reception but other than that you are good!
4. Show Up and Show Out!
