Jim & Barbie's 10th wedding anniversary celebration!

As Jim and I were approaching the first decade of our marriage, we have reflected and thought about all the amazing people in our lives that have made us stronger and helped us in their love and faith towards us. It's not always easy (but whose is) but our union has been the most amazing journey of faith, love and devotion. Through God and all of the people who have supported us and loved us unconditionally throughout this journey in life, we are so grateful to all of you. So we thought with all the blessings that we have had, let's celebrate in a place that would be a once in a lifetime experience for everyone. We originally thought Italy, because our affection for that country and culture is so strong. But through conversations and considerations, we want to share with you all a part of the world we have come to love and appreciate though our travels together. It's close to the United States, it's reasonable to get there, and they prefer U.S. currency. And, for most of our family and friends, it's in the same time zone. So as much as this is a celebration of our marriage, this is also a celebration for all of you, to thank you for your love and support, and time and attention, that all of you give us. Hope to see all of you in Paradise! We request your presence, but not presents.
