Chris & Val Tie The Not!



Chris has been such a good friend to Neal over the years and has come to visit him in almost every place he's lived (which is a lot!).  When I met him at our wedding, it wasn't hard for me to see why Neal had spoken so highly of him.  He is a wonderful person with one of the kindest hearts we know.  When he caught the leg warmer (which Neal had pulled off my leg in place of a garter) at our wedding, we joked that he had to be the next to get married.  Since he was already dating Val at the time (though she couldn't come out for the wedding), this seemed like a real possibility.  When we finally met Val the following spring, we quickly grew to love her as well, and saw that she was a perfect match for Chris.  We were so excited when they announced their engagement and honored that they asked us to be a part of their wedding (Neal was a groomsman and we both read the Prayers of the Faithful). 

Thanks for everything Chris and Val.  We couldn't be happier for you both and look forward to hearing about Cozumel!

THE BIG DAY!

Lookin' good boys

This was too funny.  Stella was wearing Ralph Lauren
sunglasses that just said "Ralph" along the side.  She
said she wears them in honor of her husband, Ralph.

Val looked soooo beautiful in her dress!
