Chris got a flyer sent in the mail to come in for a dental appointment at a local office - I was the Treatment Coordinator for the office and unlucky for him, I was out for vacation when he came in. The office set up a follow up appointment with me for when I got back in to go over a treatment plan and I remember being so aggravated that my first day back I had to have this meeting with a patient! I remember walking out of my office and around the corner and called his name - and my entire attitude changed when I saw him :) It was the first time I ever noticed myself looking down at a man's hand to see if he had any wedding ring on. After an hour of talking about everything other than dentistry - I gave Chris my business card and told him I'm sure we'd be talking again soon. Little did he know I was already trying to find him on Facebook as soon as he left my office! With a name like Chris Thomas, I was able to find about 100 profiles - and with him being a policeman, I knew he most likely didn't have his real name or photo public so gave up.. about 2 hours later I received a friend request from him and I immediately sent him a message back. The rest is history and here we are 7 years later finally getting married. "With my whole heart for my whole life"
4:30 pm - 10:30 pm
The latter part of September is questionable in regards to weather - could be cooler in the evening but still warm with the sun up!
We will keep the ceremony short and sweet with the majority of the evening celebrating! Come ready to dance and just enjoy hopefully a beautiful evening at the winery!
