Ain't No Party Like a Bridal Party!!!

Lots of you are wondering who in the world is going to be in our wedding?!

Well, here they are in no particular order:

Bridesmaids:

Jen D'Andrea (Friend since elementary school)

Chrissy Adcock (Friend since elementary school)
Karen Stull (Friend since elementary school)

The Goshen Four: Jen, Heather, Chrissy, and Karen (not to be confused with the Chicago Seven)

Susan Lee (Brother Billy's fiancee)

Erin is America's foremost Slackjawed Scientest.

Helen Haft (LA friend, Heather was her babysitter)

Heather and Helen are caught by the paparazzi.

Julia Haft (LA friend, Heather was her babysitter)

And the Groomsmen are:

Dave is the greatest reindeer of all...mainly because he has a GPS system.

Billy Keller (Heather's brother)

John Campbell (Brian's brother-in-law)

John bleeds black and gold for his beloved Wake Forrest.

Lee George (He's a buddy and a fan)

The Location

Obviously, you've gotten to this site because you got our "SAVE THE DATE" card. Welcome to our little wedding blog.

You've probably got a few questions about the location: Are you having the wedding on the beach? What about the reception? Will we have to drive to two different places?

Answer to all three questions: We're having both the wedding and the reception on the beach, and in the same spot! We're fortunate and thrilled to say that the Haft Family, good friends of ours, have invited us to have both the wedding and the reception in their backyard. Luckily, their backyard happens to be the Pacific Ocean. Here's a couple of pictures as the beach is today.

This is the view from the house (the ocean is just beyond that dune):
Here's a view from atop the dune. That's Heather standing with Helen Haft. Mickey the dog is sniffing something good in the dunes.
The next time you'll see this beach is in person on May 2, 2009! Can't wait to see you there!
