The Wedding Website of Alex Vance and Ryan Laymon
On July 6, 2024 we will celebrate our wedding at a place that has become very special to the both of us. This is a place we find beautiful, peaceful and simple. Our lives are very busy, and over the course of our relationship this is a place that has brought us quiet in a very loud world. Here, we can breathe deeply and be grateful for all of the good we have in our lives and the love we have found in each other. If you are able to travel to be with us, we are very grateful and look forward to seeing you. If you are not able to make it, please know that you will be missed. We want this day to be a day of celebration, with laughter and peace, rejoicing in the love we share and the love we have for all of you. We look forward to seeing you!
