How we met

God did it!

Keith and Dee met on a dating website because he captured Dee's attention by stating he listens to 99.1 JOY FM Christian radio when he has had a bad day. Their first date was a few days later for Goshen Coffee, then to Dee's church and lunch at The Cabin followed by of course Bobby's ice cream! They knew they both were very blessed to have met and were even more excited when they took Dr. Gary Chapmans 5 love language test and matched exactly the same. Dee always had her 5 C's wish list in meeting a guy (church, cats, Caribbean, Cardinals baseball and cycling or any fitness activities.) Keith not only met all five items on the wish list but also gave great foot rubs and was willing to dance! What a catch! They have been blessed to have already traveled on a Sim's family cruise and to Cardinals spring training, Aruba, and Jamaica. They plan to visit Alaska for a cruise tour for their honeymoon and take a helicopter to a glacier to ride with the Alaskan Iditarod dogs so they can check off an item on their bucket list. Since being married on January 1, 2026 they have started dance lessons to help keep their mind and bodies young. Keith no longer has two left feet and is doing well on the swing, cha cha and foxtrot, and they are excited to learn more. Keith continues to up his game of pickleball, and they have become gym rats at Planet Fitness. Dee always said her membership is the best investment to make especially since the aquatic massage tables they offer afterwards are all the incentive needed to go get a work out in for the day! Keith agreed after his first visit to the massage tables! Keith and Dee are looking forward to creating many more happy memories with all of you in their married life.

Question

Parking at Schon Park Ceremony

Guests with limited mobility should use the small parking lot closest to the fountain and fishing pier where the ceremony will be held.
