Your health and safety are our top priority, and we completely understand if you’re no longer able to attend. However, we will be practicing social distancing, mask-wearing, as well as providing each guest with a social distancing bracelet to make other guests aware of your social distancing comfort level. That being said, we're monitoring the current situation and will make any necessary adjustments. We hope to have a final plan in place by September 1st. This will be based on where the State of Michigan is at and how to provide safety for everyone (even if we need to change locations or reduce our guest list). We are looking forward to celebrating with you in whatever manner is best suited for September 25th!

I have known Tom for nearly half my life. We met our junior year of high school in 2003. Whether we were sharing a ride home together in the afternoon, watching a movie or hanging out in Holland, we were becoming best friends. We shared many stages of life together, some full of braces, many years of long hair, and some with bell-bottom jeans. At that time life was full of friends, nervous flirting, high school jobs, and fish tanks. Oh, the fish tanks. We spent our 20’s living in different states, with different hobbies, different friends, and different lives. We grew up in the best possible way, meeting the best people. Even through those years, we kept in touch. It might not have been every year, but we were never far from each other's mind. There was one 20 hour day in Denver, touring the city with Tom and my cousin. Or that other time meeting up for drinks right after Tom returned to Michigan. We always made a point to reconnect. A few years after Tom moved back I texted to see if he would be interested in meeting up again. Cider in hand, I went to see my old friend. We sat for hours on his front porch laughing, talking, and sharing stories with one another. When we reminisce about that night, Tom just casually concludes that 'you just showed up' and that was that. From that evening in 2018, we've grown closer together than I could've ever imagined. We went from a text, to a catch-up, to forever. Now, after meeting Tom at 16 and having it be 16 years later—I’m beyond excited to spend the rest of my life alongside him. I love him so much more than he could ever know. Jen
