How We Met
It was a typical Saturday night, and Rob had just wrapped up a long day at the office. In need of some relaxation, he spontaneously chose to make a pit stop at a local bar on his way home. As fate would have it he took a seat next to Michele and they struck up a conversation. Rob was having fun with her and was impressed by her ability to match his banter. He thought he would have some fun and go out with her a few times. Ten years later they are still having fun!

Friday Evening for the Wedding
Beach Casual
We came across this at Brides.com,
It sums up our vision:
Women should opt for a simple sundress, breezy maxi dress, or high-quality romper. And while dressy sandals are acceptable, avoid standard, beachwear flip-flops.
Nice, short-sleeved shirts, such as polos, are permitted for men, as well as nice shorts (think Chinos) with a belt. In general, stick with lighter colors and/or bold prints, and absolutely avoid denim, cargo, swim shorts, and cotton T-shirts. This is also the only instance when sandals may be acceptable, but ensure your feet are well-manicured before considering an open-toe look. If not, wear a deck shoe or loafer, never sneakers.
