September 18th, 2009.  It is said that true love finds you when you least expect it.  Nowhere is it more true than when Mike and I first met.  I was brand new to the FAA and training to be an air traffic controller.  Mike had been with the FAA for a few years.  Until that fateful day, we hadn't really crossed paths.  Mike just happened to be at work on overtime.  He was the radar controller and I was training as his radar assistant.  He struck up a conversation and time seemed to fly.  Immediately, I found myself enjoying him and looking for Mike as he came in and out the control room floor that day.  I left work that day wondering what was going on.  The feeling was indescribable. 

The very next day as I left the control room floor he handed me a flight strip with a smile on his face.  As I went to put the flight strip away I saw handwriting.  Mike had asked me out on a date! With one flight strip and an answer of yes, our two paths began to merge into one.   

We ask our friends and family to arrive between 4:00 and 4:20.  The ceremony will begin at 4:30.  The wedding ceremony will be held outdoors under a beautiful pavillion topped with trumpet vines. 

Cocktail Hour will immediately follow the wedding ceremony.  Cocktails, a flowing citrus punch fountain and hor d' oeuvres will served.

The wedding reception will be held in the Fireplace Room at Hotel Albuquerque. There will be music, drinks, and dancing all night long. For our romantic wedding day celebration, the Fireplace Room will be aglow with candlelight and lanterns as we dine on New York Strip Steak and House made Enchiladas, Herb & Mustard Crusted Pork Loin with Rosemary Demi Glace and Grilled Pacific Salmon Filet with Citrus Cream Sauce . Come ready to celebrate a memorable evening with love, laughter and fun!

Mike and I would like to thank all of you...our dearest family and friends for simply being here for us. You all have done so much and have made such a remarkable positive difference in our lives. We cherish the friendship and love you gave us, and continue to give to us. Thank you for visiting our wedding website and honeymoon registry. You all have blessed our lives and we can't wait to share our special day with you!
