Fawn & Pat are getting Married!

It's official! After meeting in Brooklyn on the dance floor of a bike event in October 2008. And after flying back and forth across the USA, we have decided we cannot live without one another.

Our marriage will take place June 26th in Seattle. It will be a small wedding with our closest friends and immediate family.

For those who cannot make it, you can still celebrate the beginning of the rest of our lives by following our blog. We will be keeping it updated as we move onwards through our life, our move to The Netherlands (in January) being the biggest change right now. For those who feel so inclined, registry information is to the right.

For those who are attending the reception, please RSVP by clicking the link to the right and fill out the quick and simple form.

We want to thank everyone in advance for all your love and support.

Ceremony Information

The ceremony will be a small and modest standing (no seating) wedding at Magnolia Park (6pm on Saturday June 26th) where Reverend Tonya M. Hendrick, Fawn's best friend of 15 years will ordain the marriage.

What to wear— Something nice! Tuxedos will not be required (neither Pat or Fawn will be wearing "traditional" wedding attire).

What to bring— It is strongly advised that you bring a sweater as Seattle evenings can get cool. It is also advised, if it is cloudy, to bring an umbrella. Other than that, bring your dancing shoes and a good appetite.

Registry

We will not have an official registry as we are moving to The Netherlands in January (Fawn will be attending grad school). Although, we would love beautiful things from all of you, we have no place to put them, as an alternative we are asking friends and family to help get us to The Netherlands. Any and all help to assist us in this new and life changing endeavor is greatly appreciated.

We hope you'll visit us in The Netherlands (we'll be living in Delft, a 40 minute train ride from Amsterdam)!
