The story of Nathan and Shawna's journey together is only just beginning. All of you have played some part in that tale, but there is so much more to do, so gather round and I'll tell you some stuff about Nathan and Shawna that you might not have known already. Although you may have heard some of these stories because Nathan really likes telling the same story over and over again... They met at Franklin House Tavern & Grill with a really awkward story that Nathan loves to tell. After dating casually with zero expectations for about a year, they both realized that they were madly in love with each other. After coming to the realization that he did, in fact, want to marry this person, Nathan told his best friends; Jake, Jake, and Ryan how he felt...and then promptly told Shawna that same night because Nathan is bad at keeping secret surprises secret. The story of the actual proposal is a really good story that Nathan loves to tell. Well, now you know a little bit more about these two lovebirds. And if you want to find out more, just ask Nathan. I hear he's pretty alright at telling stories.

We are having an Adults Only Wedding. Those of 21 years of age and over are gratefully invited to join us on our day, however, those underage will have opportunities to celebrate with us later, in a more appropriate setting.
We are trying to do everything we can to make our wedding enjoyable and unfortunately that comes with letting some responsibility fall to the guests. We are asking anyone who may have to be traveling that they make their own accommodations as we cannot decide for everyone where they would like to stay nor can we afford to do so. To each their own and Good Luck. We've provided some of the local options in the "Things To Do" section above, but there are many other options available.
Whatever you feel comfortable wearing! We're Going Semi-Formal with the wedding, if you want to go all out, go all out. If you want to dress-down, just no sweat-pants. We love you all and want to share our day with you no matter what you choose to wear.
