Just thought we would give everyone a heads up: our plan is currently to get married on September 02, 2008 (as is pretty clearly indicated by this URL!) in (or around) Florence, Italy. We are bringing 24 people with us, but anyone who is likely reading this post is more than welcome to come! Obviously this invitation is given understanding that going to Italy isn’t exactly cheap, so we won’t be offended if you can’t come, and clearly we won’t be offended if you don’t either!

For everyone who won’t be attending the actual ceremony, we are having two receptions here in the states. One will be in Peoria, IL and the other will be in Ft. Davis, TX.

Our tentative Save-the-Dates are September 28 (Peoria, IL) and October 11 (Ft. Davis, TX). If you know us or are reading this or don’t know that you are reading this, you’re invited and more than welcome to either (or both!) of these parties. We have some details to hammer out concerning location, time, etc. We hope to send announcements (and invitations) within 60 days of either event, but clearly the more people know, the better.

I would also love to request prayer for both Angela and me. We’re under a lot of stress with work, the wedding, work, reception plans, work, the wedding, church, getting hitched, etc.

PLEASE get us your address and any other contact info. If you are interested in going to Italy (probably around $2K per person), PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! let us know ASAP!

Also, we got 89 unique guests yesterday, thanks!
