How We Began…
It began December 22, 2008 with us both seeing each other online on that famous dating website E-Harmony everyone sees on TV! At first, we tried to scare each other off with our pointed questions about what we both wanted in life. The funny thing is though, the more we tried to scare each other off, the more intrigued with each other we became. After the questions, came the phone calls that lasted for hours. Then little notes were sent to each other by e-mail and texts every day. She was in Colorado, he was in California? Would it work?
We met face-to-face finally on January 16, 2009 and the old cliché, “it was love at first sight” became a reality. It wasn’t long after that Chad proposed to Annette on Valentine’s Day. Our journey began far away from each other and now we’re starting our adventure of a lifetime together along with our children Colton and Amanda.

We are setting sail on the Carnival Dream and dropping anchor when we reach the second port on December 22, 2009; exactly one year to the date when we met. We are joining together and getting married on the tranquil shores of Magen's Bay, located in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands at 3:00pm, a dream wedding of a lifetime together. Annette will be walking the sandy beach in a floor length wedding gown. Amanda will be wearing a white junior bridesmaids gown. Chad and Colton will be wearing matching Hawaiian white wedding shirts with black slacks.

We will be returning to the ship and dining in the elegant Supper Club restaurant for our wedding dinner at 7:00pm and possibly some dancing afterward.

Celebrate with us in uniting together in marriage on the Carnival Dream! We would love to have you join us as we start our new life together. For those of you who are unable to attend, we will be blogging daily during our honeymoon to let everyone know what's going on. We hope you have as much fun looking at our website as we did creating it! Thank you for all of your prayers and blessings!
