You are invited to celebrate the wedding of Alison White and Philip Rust

Ali and Phil met at a renaissance festival on a sunny day in Sherwood. It was one of those magical cliché moments where their eyes met and the world seemed to shift towards each other. At first, Ali tried to say no when Phil asked her out (he was living in Vancouver and she was going to school in Corvallis); however his persistence paid off. They have been happily dating ever since.

On a warm winter's day in Carlsbad, New Mexico, Phil took Ali up to the red hills above the town. They spent the early afternoon meeting and laughing with Phil's high school friends, but now they spent the late afternoon hiking. They stopped on a hill overlooking the desert right at sunset. Phil kissed Ali and went down on one knee right as the sunset shone brightest. Ali didn't even give him a chance to ask, "Will you marry me?" before exclaiming yes and finally. Phil had always known he would propose on that hill.
