FINALLY
After 10 years together, a mortgagement, and
adopting a couple of (cat) babies - plus, y'know,
2+ years of dealing with the whole pandemic thing -
we thought 2022 might finally be a good time to celebrate our wedding day with you.
We love you and can't wait to see you in September!
- Ryan & Jamie "Fortitto"
