Welcome to our wedding website!

We met as parent volunteers at Sabot School- regularly showing up to help with the same school events for our kids, then slowly beginning a friendship that emerged into a love story that neither of us expected. Early on, Marty volunteered to coach soccer just so he could see Reese more often. Around the same time, Reese once spotted Marty helping with set-up for graduation and sprinted outside in high heels and 95 degree heat to very casually lend a hand carrying 200 chairs and some heavy panels for a stage. There was nothing sensible about it-- lighting struck and sparks flew. Life as we knew it would never be the same...

When we got engaged in April, we were not in a hurry to set a date or start wedding plans. But after about a month, we realized that waiting a year to get married would mean spending a year focused on a wedding-- rather than spending the year focused on building a marriage. This is not a first wedding for either of us (surprise!), and we want to make sure that our most significant investments can be in our marriage, our children, and our life together as a blended family. We are beyond delighted to have family and friends who want to share in our joy - but please don't expect anything terribly traditional or over the top! Our celebration will be in the garden where we first fell in love- with an open invitation to fireflies and shoes optional. We are planning (what we hope will be) a delicious dinner menu and a marvelous dance play list with lawn games as the sun sets. We are also lining up some fun get togethers around Richmond in the days leading up to and following the ceremony. These events are intended for out of town guests and ANYONE hoping to spend a little more time with us on our wedding weekend.
