We made some late evening updates to the web page. Like us, the website is a work in progress. If you already reviewed it this weekend, then note that we updated captions on the digital guestbook, fixed one honeymoon picture caption, and made some major text edits to Our New Story. Oh yea, and we added a link to another one of our videos - with sound! Feel free to check out the changes, if you wish. Thanks for your continued patience. We love you all!

Yea! We are so thrilled to finally be able to present our updated website to you. First of all, we want to express our deepest appreciation for all who have supported us, from pre-wedding planning through the wedding itself, to supporting our newly married selves.

A recently married friend, and the owner of my "borrowed" veil (Amanda), told me that we would spend the honeymoon reflecting on our wedding. Overwhelmingly, what we reflected on most was the opportunity to share our covenant with beloved relatives, church family, and a few friends. We both wished that we could have remembered every word that was said to us in the receiving line and the reception, for those words of affection were important gifts to us.

Thankfully, while our memories are weak, we were blessed by the pictures and video of many. We have included a small sampling of what we have - pictures that seem to tell the story and yet don't highlight any specific guests other than relatives. Please contact us if you would like to be emailed those photos with you or your family visible. Please also specify whether you would like the large high resolution or the small size file. (All files on this website are small size.)

Also, if you took any photos that you think we would enjoy, we would love to have those sent to us. We can never have too many digital photographs!

We have added lots of good stuff to our website. Please check out the link Our New Story first, before viewing the photo gallery. Also note that if you click on a picture in the photo gallery, it will provide you with a slide show that has captions. Finally, please sign our guestbook!..again, or for the first time... We love feedback!

UPDATE: JULY 17, 2007

Photos are uploaded and being annotated. Additional text has been written and is being edited. As of today, M&M have been married for 59 days. We promise to all of our regular website checkers that the website will be completely edited, save for maybe one little snafu, by day 70 (one of Melissa's favorite numbers).

UPDATE: JUNE 30, 2007

Thanks to everyone for your patience! The newlyweds have been very busy and, while updating this has been at the top of our list, it has still been a challenge to find the time. However, we have taken important steps toward progress and hope to have pictures and video for everyone very soon.

We love you all. We are thankful for your support. We feel very blessed.

Elated greetings to our dear family and friends!

Many people (ourselves included) have wondered whether it was possible for someone to exist who would be compatible for marriage with our unique personalities. How easily we forget the words of Christ, that "...with God all things are possible" (Matthew 19:26).

We have thanked God for the blessing that each of you is in our lives. Now, we praise God for bringing the two of us together.

This website has been a joy to create and share. We both sincerely hope that you will also find joy in viewing it.

Please check back periodically, as we will be updating prior to and after the wedding (PICTURES!)
