Wedding dress, veil, shoes, garter, bridesmaids dresses, tuxedo rentals, flower girl dresses, ring bearer vests, pants, shirt, etc.

We asked one of my (Ryan's) friends from college that is a minister and the PA announcer of the San Antonio Spurs if he would preside over our wedding. He graciously offered to do it for no charge if we could pay all the expenses to get him out here from San Antonio. We would like be able pay for him to come out AND give him whatever money is left over as well, if at all possible.

Since I (Ryan) was trained as a musician for my bachelors and masters degree, we would love it if we could hire live musicians for our wedding.

Since we have been together for almost a decade (9 years in July 2014), instead of a honeymoon at this moment, we would like to have time to visit with family and friends on a vacation after the wedding that we hardly ever get to see since most of them live far away.

We would like to hire Mary Ingalls of Tybee Island who created the famed stained glass tortoises to create a window that Lonita and I designed to be used as the center piece of our wedding ceremony as well as a transom over the front door of our eventual home. We would also like to buy some more decorations to place at various places in the venue for our wedding and reception.

We'd love to have a Studebaker Champion Starlite (pictured above) or a Volkswagen Van, Thing, or convertible Karmann Ghia, or whatever nice antique car available we can afford to chauffeur us for our wedding, reception, and afterwards.

We have the loan approved, we just need the down payment! We'd LOVE to be able to move out of our first floor/basement underground condo with stomping upstairs neighbors that don't care about us at all and move into a house and stop paying HOA fees and have control over what we do with our property! It's been going on for 2 1/2 years now and we're exhausted by it on a daily basis.

Just because you love us! :)
