On June 12th, 1981 a chance meeting started a wonderful voyage of love.  We have been so fortunate to have shared our lives together over these past years.  We have experienced so much joy and excitement and now we can't believe that we have the opportunity to share our love in a public commitment of marriage.

Our first date brought us up the coast of Massachusetts and New Hampshire to a small town in Maine. Several years of the most romantic and thrilling adventures together ensued.  We went hiking and camping in the White Mountains and Vermont.  We bicycled to Novia Scotia together and traveled to Mexico for the first time.  All before we decided to move in together on 2/28/85.  (Athough Michael does think we lived together in my Waltham apartment).

We thought we'd get serious, settle down and build a secure future together. What a great time we've had, building our realtionship together and with our families and friends.  Who can forget Michael's 30th Birthday; Thanksgivings at the beach condo and the summer celebrations at Salisbury Beach? (well, some may be forgotten due to killed brain cells.)

There have been ups and downs (I'm not talking about weight); career changes, the loss of loved ones and the challenges of building our dream house.

Through it all we have stood by each other's side with love and mutual admiration.  How can it be so good after all these years?  It just keeps getting better and this wedding will mark one of our greatest enjoyments of life together.  We can't wait to share it with you.
