Welcome

January, 21 2012 at Leu Gardens in Orlando, FL

Please send in your RSVP cards by December 31, 2011!

If you haven't already, please fill out our Transportation Survey, even if you have already sent in your RSVP. Please check back for more information about our scheduled events.

We are getting married at the beautiful Leu Gardens on Saturday, January 21st, at 4:00 PM, with dinner and reception following on-site. Afterwards we will move to a raging house party and bonfire at our new vacation lake house, a mere ten minutes away in Winter Park, FL (just north of downtown Orlando).

Kids young and old are welcome!

We know that Orlando is a long distance away, but we come from different sides of the country. Our guest list includes friends and family from 5 different countries and 24 different states. We have purchased an Orlando vacation house on a lake. Orlando is beautiful in winter: it is almost always sunny, with an average high of 72, and low of 50. We are hoping to entice you down there for a great winter break!

Your presence in Orlando with us is worth more than we can ask, and would mean more than we can say, so please, no gifts. Instead of a gift, why not treat yourself to a day at Disney?

Are you a poet, songwriter, musician, dancer, or acrobat? Please share your talents! Bring your instruments and props and come play at the after party.

Consider extending your stay! We are planning some extra activities and here is our tentative schedule:

Group trip to Magic Kingdom, Walt Disney World. The lines are very short this time of year. [Transportation provided to and from Lake House, Comfort Inn, and Comfort Suites]
