5. Romans 5 -Red Letter

It's largely non-traditional and heavily influenced by my last church (Mars Hill) but we like it so, deal.

the Proposal

I formally proposed to Aimee from the observation deck of Smith Tower (my favorite building) in downtown Seattle on 21 February. Then we started working on a wedding date.

the Honeymoon

Aimee and I will be spending a couple days after the wedding at Hood Canal. Specifically the Alderbrook Resort in Union. I'm hoping that it will be a nice place to decompress.

Registry

In keeping with "tradition" (because it's obvious that we are both strict followers of such), Aimee and I are registered at Target. (If you can't find it, search by our names.)

Studies have shown that a plethora of small kitchen appliances lead to long and successful marriages.

The Third Time Is The Charm

For those not aware, Aimee and I almost got married some years ago during our past relationship in 1999. I have been under the impression that this is our second go at it. However, I was just recently informed that the initial plan was in 1997. Which would make this the third attempt...

Odd? No, that doesn't seem odd at all.
