"WE" DID IT!

Over a year ago we stood at the top of a cliff, and on a whim while looking at my beautiful girlfriend in a beautiful setting, I said "we should get married here". Emily responded with, "Hell yes we should!". As ridiculous of an idea as it was, neither of us wanted to rain on the other's parade and say that it was silly and infeasible and that nobody would come. So we started planning it. Like a game of chicken, we each moved forward with our poker face, waiting for the other to crack and reign it in to something more reasonable, like renting a room at the local Ruth's Chris in Indy or Columbus. Neither of us did. Even more amazing was all of our loved ones who took us seriously (as much as any of them ever do) and said they'd come. 

Walking across Big Beach and looking up at the cliff and seeing all of you up there waiting for us was surreal. There are a few rare times in your life when you just stop and take a deep breath, and want to freeze the moment. Words cannot describe the feeling when this happens, and you guys made this happen for us. We cannot thank all of you enough for making the sacrifice to be here with us, and for us. You guys are amazing and we cannot wait to start this next chapter of our lives with all of you. We love you guys -- our amazing new merged family and friend group. 

Mahalo,

-Emily & Don
