In Honor of Those that cannot be with Us
During this new adventure and big milestone in our lives, we are missing three of the most important people that we would’ve loved to share this day with! Sylvia McGee as Ben‘s grandmother until 2021, Zachary Schonborn as Margaret’s brother until 2024, and Bobbi McGee as Margaret’s grandmother until 2026. These losses have been felt greatly by us during these past few years up until most recently…as our wedding day approaches the void that they leave cannot be filled, but they can be remembered… Allowing us to talk about them and have a placeholder here on our wedding site as well as at the wedding and reception will allow their spirit to be felt now and on one of the most important events in our lives.
