We would like to thank the following people for their unfailing support and love during this trying/exciting/emotional/thrilling time:

Mark Gregory and Tammie Jann (the Bride’s parents)
We want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all of your hard work on this wedding. Mom, thank you for all of your work on the catering, flowers, and all the other wonderful details that you’ve labored over to make our wedding a celebration worth sharing. Dad, thank you for supporting Mom during these hectic times and making sure that our guests have a host to entertain them when they get here, making our already unbelievable wedding even more so for our guests from around the country.

Finally, your financial support and amazing attitude will make this an event to remember not only for Eric and I, but for our far-reaching guests that will be joining us. A thousand times, THANK YOU.

Don’t worry Dad, I’ll always be your little girl, and now you’ve got another son!

Martha and Rich Huyler (the Groom’s parents)
We want to send out a genuine Thank You to you for ensuring that the important people in Eric’s life will be attending our wedding. We know the effort, concentration and financial support that you’ve donated to this amazing cause and we couldn’t be happier that Eric’s Grandmother and Aunt will be joining us for this momentous occasion. Thank you for your good spirits, attention to detail and asking us tons of questions so that we were sure not to miss a beat. We appreciate all that you’ve done to make sure that it will be a wonderful day for everyone.

This would not have been possible with out your love and support!

Cecilia Jann (Grandma Jann)
Passed Away in 2003

Cecilia, or Grandma Jann, as we knew her would have been thrilled to join us. Unfortunately, she passed away the same year I moved to Seattle, so I didn’t get to say goodbye to her. Thank you for showing me every card game you knew, and making afghans for my Barbie dolls and as I got older, blankets for me as a keepsake. I find myself missing you and think I should give you a call and tell you about the wedding plans. And just for the record, you did a pretty darn good job with Dad. Thanks for that. I love you, we all miss you and we wish you could be here with us.

Patricia Mott (Aunt Pat)
Passed Away in 2003

Auntie, we had our ups and downs with the family in your later years, but I’m sorry that you won’t be there to add you quips and wicked sense of humor to every situation. You took incredibly good care of my sweet pug in her last years and made sure she and her brother had little portions of whatever you were eating that night. In the early years of my life you took good care of my Mom and provided a haven for her to escape to for a weekend. You were a funny, strange, and amusing older woman as well, we all used to tease you about how you looked like Maxine from the Hallmark cards. I’ll always remember your bunny slippers. I’m sorry you can’t be here with us. We’ll miss you.

Pugsy Jann (Mrs. Kisses)
Passed Away in 2002

Pugsy was my first pug, and dog. She passed away after I moved to Seattle. You were my cohort, best friend and nurse maid growing up. You kissed away all of my frustrated teenage tears. Thank you for showing me what the love an animal could be. I think of you often, and since you didn’t bite Eric when you met him, I assume that you approve of him and would be happy to see us marry. We miss you!!
