A huge thank-you goes out to Billy’s family on throwing us a wonderful shower last Saturday.  On top of the usual stresses of planning such a large event, Billy’s family also went through a move in only two months just to finish in time for this party!  With all the boxes unpacked (or cleared for the most part), the Koehler’s welcomed the wedding party and close family friends to a gourmet pasta dinner and open bar… followed by an impromptu tournament of table-top recreation.

It’s safe to say that Billy caught a glimpse of what it will be like on the wedding day.  It really humbled him to see a room full of people he’s known since the age of 5… all partying in support of their upcoming nuptials.  Whether they met through his father’s work, their country club affiliation, or the neighborhood he grew up in… this was a group of people that Billy has long considered his extended Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, or Siblings.  Their display of support and care was overwhelming as some may have had other obligations that they decided to set aside just for us that evening.

At this time, we would just like to thank everyone that was able to attend…and those who were unable (but were there in spirit).  Your generosity was humbling…and your gifts (although unnecessary) were very much appreciated.

…I guess we’ll have to get the hang of this thank-you card thing now

…yeah, AppleTV.  Definitely was not on the Registry list… but a HUGE hit with Billy.  Thanks!
