Ryan and Rachell

Check your mailbox! Rachell and I have checked “invitations” off the ta-da list and are excited to hear back from you! Many thanks to Rachell’s bridesmaids and her mother for handling the bulk of the assembly process. And if you’re a fan of the envelope liners… well that was my doing. My glue-stick skills were certainly sharpened.

To those visiting the site for the first time, welcome! Take a look around and get caught up on some of our engagement adventures. The “Recent Posts” on the right are a great place to start.

My mother, with the help of a few friends, threw an unbelievable shower for Rachell and me last weekend. Mom sought to introduce Rachell to the years of my life before we met and filled our house with wonderful friends and family I’ve known for ages.

The guest list had been kept somewhat private so I didn’t even know who was going to join us. I loved opening the door to greet so many faces I hadn’t seen in a while.

Many, many thanks to those that helped make this evening such a blessing for Rachell and me. To Mom, Jill, Tom, Darryl, Sean, and Uncle Ken for the food. To Jill for the beautiful invitations. And to the many guests that brought so many smiles to our faces.

Just a little note to let you know that Rachell and I are registered at a few places across the country (and online). Take a look through our registry.

I was allowed to register for some less traditional items, but if you’re looking for something even more out of the ordinary, Rachell and I would also welcome lift tickets or hotel stays in Lake Tahoe!

We know some of our guests will be making large sacrifices to travel quite a distance to join us, so please remember that your attendance is the greatest gift.
