We wanted to give a HUGE thank you to everyone who contributed to our beautiful wedding! We wrote and gave thank you cards prior to the ceremony but wanted to give our thoughts post ceremony as well. We were amazed!! Our guests (including virtual attendees) have been raving about the wedding all week. We are still on cloud nine and want to express our sincere gratitude. Thank you again for giving your time, talent, & gifts for our wedding day. We knew it would be a fabulous event but you all exceeded our expectations.
