We met, dated and became friends 10 years ago. We kept in touch, seeing each other occasionally at Smitty's. There has always been a special connection between us, and running into each other again in 2008 seemed like fate. We both had a lot of growing to do during our time apart, and seeing each other that night in December brought back the memories of the love we once shared. We have been together since that night and want to be together the rest of our lives.

We are planning a picnic wedding at beautiful Pedley Park near Mira Costa College in Oceanside. As times are tough for all and we want to include our many friends, we would like everyone to pack their own picnic basket lunch and a bottle of their favorite beverage, grab a blanket and join us for our wedding vows. We will be at the park approximately 2 hours, and cake and punch will be served.

We will be heading to our honeymoon destination immediately following the picnic. We will be taking the Harley to San Diego to stay at Paradise Point Resort and Spa until Tuesday afternoon.

Thank you for all your best wishes! We are looking forward to spending our special day with you. We love you all!
