H Our relationship began a year and a half ago, at The Oly Tap Room. But far before that, we began to understand aspects of love through various experiences. We saw the importance of relationship, the integral nature of vulnerability, and the hope of unconditional love. We have carried that into our relationship thus far, and desire to carry that into our marriage. We hope that every one of you feel as if you can cheer us on through that desire of ours! We did not simply invite you to our wedding, but also into our lives and marriage. Every single one of you has impacted our life, rather very directly or more subtly. Whether you have been in our life for 25 years, or two months, we value your presence in our lives everyday. You have encouraged us, loved us, prayed for us, walked beside us during dark days and rejoiced alongside us on the bright days. We feel extremely blessed and grateful that you would travel to one of our favorite places to witness and join in on such an integral day in our lives. When we imagined what our wedding weekend looked like, we desired to curate a space where many people could come together, make memories, have fun, share a meal, tell stories, leave with new friends and a unique sense of camaraderie. Sounds a whole lot like summer camp, huh? In that moment, Camp Shier was born--as an ode to our love for the outdoors and our love of bringing people together. As you move through today, may your hearts be full of cheer, bellies filled with food + drink, and souls captivated by the power of love + friendship.

Welcome to our wedding and our very own version of summer camp! While our wedding most obviously is celebrating the marriage between both of us, there is so much more to this day than our commitment to each other. We are here today because of love and we are here because of our community.

TO LET THOSE WE LOVE BE PERFECTLY THEMSELVES, THE RESOLUTION NOT TO TWIST THEM TO FIT OUR OWN IMAGE. IF IN LOVING THEM WE DO NOT LOVE WHAT THEY ARE, BUT ONLY THEIR POTENTIAL LIKENESS TO OURSELVES, THEN WE DO NOT LOVE THEM: WE ONLY LOVE THE REFLECTION OF OURSELVES WE FIND IN THEM. THOMAS MERTON
