Julie Piatt
Bride
I am the Bride and I am so very happy that I am marrying my best friend! I was born in Illinois and grew up just north of Philadelphia in Bucks County, Pa I graduated Summa Cum Laude with a degree in Elementary Education from King’s College in 1990! Yes, I am 3yrs older than Andy 😜 Teaching Kindergarten, 1st grade and currently 2nd grade at NWLSD in Cincinnati. Moving to Ohio and having 2 wonderful sons, Garrett and Colton. Watching them grow into wonderful young men. We all enjoyed boating, sports, movies and gardening! For the last 8 years, Andy and I have worked each day to build a life together. We have learned that love is not about “perfection”, but rather choosing each other, every single day. We will always have storms to weather and days to celebrate. We are both committed to being there for each other and for our newly blended families! May we continue to grow in love together with our families and our friends
Andy Blair
Groom
After 47 years of living the bachelor life, I never really thought I'd be here, until Julie and I got together. Now I can't imagine what it'd be like to look ahead at the rest of life alone. I cannot wait to make it official on our big night with all of you! I grew up kind of all over Ohio: Lima, Greenville, Zanesville, Sidney, Troy and now Cincinnati (with stops in Michigan, Connecticut, and Indiana) along the way. No matter where our journey takes us, I'll always be a Buckeye at heart - where family and friends call home and we all gather to cheer on our Ohio teams: Buckeyes, Reds, and Bengals. After a nearly 30 year career of grad school at Wright State, Engineering at Pratt & Whitney, and most recently a variety of roles at GE - it won't be long that I fill my days with golf, fishing, and seeing new places - all of which will be that much more special that Julie and I will be sharing those together.
