We are thrilled you are here with us in Toledo to share in the joy of our wedding celebration. Courtney grew up here in Toledo coming to Inverness Club and attended church service regularly at St. Michael's in the Hills. We are honored that you made the trip to be with us. Thank you for all the love and laughter you have contributed to our lives. You have helped make us who we are and for that we are grateful. We look forward to celebrating with many of you!
We met at the Club! the Ann Arbor Triathlon Club. We had been friends previously through a tight knit circle of great people with whom we frequently train and race. I - Courtney - have a swimming and running background, and Chris is one of the strongest cyclists of our tri tribe, so between the two of us, we're one great triathlete! But in all seriousness, we found we had so much in common beyond our love for endurance sports. The things we choose to spend our spare time on were pretty much in line -- watching sports, cheering for sports, and...sports! and it turned out that Chris was a cat lover in hiding until he embraced my two cats as his own. We are both close with our families and value those relationships. Our values just seemed to line right up as did our hearts. It has been a winding, sometimes bumpy, road, but one of the things that I think makes us strong and right for each other is our willingness to work through difficult times with mutual respect and a big picture mindset. We are excited to begin this new chapter in our lives and bring so many loved ones together for a day of smiles, laughter, dancing, and kinship. Thank you for being in our lives -- every one of you!
