Hello family and friends! We will be updating this site with information for our wedding cruise and ceremony in Key West at Mallory Square on Friday, April 13, 2012 at 10:30am. (See Wedding Events for webcams and the Bride's Blog for details)

There is A TON of information here, but the top page you should view is FAQs & Tips and the Blog which gets updated when I have something to say (often). Feel free to leave a message in the guestbook or reply to a blog post. I guess I just proved why I have been accused of being verbose.

For the record... the colors are Hot Pink and Black... thank you to Sierra for picking out a perfect Maid of Honor dress and taking the stress off of me for colors. By the way... she will look so adorable!

For those of you that are not able to join us on the Carnival Destiny cruise or in Key West, I will list webcam websites and approximate times so you can view us there (see Wedding Events).

Jay's daughter Sierra joins me as my Maid of Honor while my son Robbie joins Jay as his Best Man. My brother Matthew will be giving me away and his wife Heather is my right hand (and left) as we plan this wedding. It truly is a family affair!!! Friends are more than welcome; regardless of how they can attend!

Cozumel Informtion
Join Jay and Laura for a Beach/Snorkel day at the Playa Corona Beach Club. It is listed as one of the top spots for excellent snorkeling. If you prefer an all-inclusive sandy beach day with a pool we suggest either the Nachi Cocom Beach Club or Mr. Sancho's Beach Club. Warning!!!! I know we both will have our heads underwater. Join us underwater or find your own bliss!
