@ Diablo Lake
If you’ve found this website, then you probably already know about our impending nuptials. If not well then allow me to shout…
Monique and I are getting married!
@ Ross Lake
This website will serve as a way for all of you to get the information you need if you are going to attend.
Here are the important details regarding the ceremony and other activities:
THE CEREMONY
DAY:
Friday June 19th 2009
TIME:
7:00 pm
LOCATION:
The Pagoda at Point Defiance Park
Actually this will be a two part celebration. Part 2 will be a Barbecue (or barbeque) at a location to be determined later.
THE BBQ
DAY:
Saturday June 20th 2009
LOCATION:
Richmond Beach Saltwater Park
2021 NW 190th St. Shoreline, WA
TIME:
1:00 pm
We both agreed that there will be some people who traveled a great distance just to see us get hitched and that they deserved to spend more time with us. Plus we figured that if some people couldn’t make the wedding ceremony, then a casual picnic the next day would make a nice alternative.
For the aforementioned travelers, and anyone else who is interested in accommodations, here is a Google map with some local motel information:
