When we arrived at Fort Flagler on Friday afternoon, our first order of business was the ceremony rehearsal. We had talked through the ceremony many times with Pastor Coe, our officiant (and the current pastor of the church I grew up in) during our pre-wedding counseling sessions, and we even …
We really were surprised by the turnout, thought it was great and we really appreciate it! We use running as our choice of calorie burning to eat junk, I mean our choice of activities haha! Really though, we weren’t sure how this was going to turn out, and it was …

I knew Chris was going to propose, but I had no idea when or how, and when it finally happened, it was a complete, wonderful surprise. Chris had the ring for a couple months before we got engaged, and we’d been talking about marriage for months. I tried to guess when …
