Question

Why are you getting married in Grand Rapids?

Answer

We just moved to Maryland, but we have lived in Michigan (between Marquette and East Lansing) for the last 9 years. Cole's family is also in Michigan, and Jamie's is in Minnesota. Between the three states, Michigan seems the most central for the most people. Grand Rapids is also easy to travel to, with its own airport and good sightseeing.
