Jon tells this story really well, you'll have to ask him yourself! But make sure I am nearby so I can fact check him...

Jon and I are so excited to be uniting two incredibly wonderful families together... but we also acknowledge that in doing so, there is a lot of coordination and potential conflicts in schedules, logistics, etc. When Jon proposed I immediately thought of my grandparents, Grandma Mary & Grandpa Bill, Grandma Dixie & Grandpa Don. I truly believe that my Grandma Mary would be so proud of Jon and his family, and although I never met my Grandpa Bill he did choose Grandma and she is truly an angel so I can assume he has good taste. My Grandma Dixie met Jon in 2018, when Jon and I traveled to Florida for a vacation. On that trip Grandma told Jon that she was not getting any younger (nudge nudge) and that is when I knew that she would be an integral part in our union, years later. My grandparents are so incredibly important to me and since it would be much easier for them, Jon and I agreed that we would marry in a place that would honor them and their health. Delray beach: Little did I know that I had advocates for me across the country! The venue came to my attention via my Uncle Charlies sister, Angie, who so kindly gathered intel about the venue and passed it on. When Jon and I saw it we both knew this would be a wonderful place to celebrate us and the union of our families. One HUGE bonus to this, aside from the proximity to the ocean and convenience for the matriarch and patriarch, is of course, DISNEY WORLD! So many of our family members love Disney, as do I, thanks to Doug! We thought this would be a great opportunity for families to use this as a chance to travel to Disney, if they wish. That is why we chose early May. This is after spring break but before summer break. Historically tickets for travel are cheaper and Disney is a little less crowded than it will be in the following weeks. We will be hosting a 2nd wedding reception the following weekend, in Colorado. Please see the story "Colorado" below for more info.

Everyone is welcome to join us at our Florida reception however, we understand that it may not be possible for some. That is why we are hosting a second reception in Colorado. We will send out those Save the Dates with a link to another website to RSVP, that website will have all of the details! That reception will be open to family and friends alike! Come with an appetite for food, drink, and FUN! We hope to see you all at one or the other! - Jonathan & Chanee
