Details about our BIG DAY!

Dan and Julie will be married at Saint John Neumann Catholic Church (their home parish!) on May 16, 2009 at 1:00 in the afternoon.

The Mass will be celebrated by Father Francis Martin, who holds a very special place in both of their hearts. Father Francis has known Dan since he was a little guy and has been a source of spiritual peace and inspiration for Julie since she's lived in Gaithersburg. Father Scott Woods will concelebrate the Mass along with Father Gellert Ailer. Both of these priests have also been a tremendous influence in preparing Julie's and Dan's hearts for each other.

Deacon Andy Davy, MIC is Dan's older brother and was a close friend of Julie's even BEFORE Dan and Julie became friends! Br. Andy was ordained a deacon this January, so he will function as such during their wedding Mass (otherwise, he'd be a groomsman!) Br. Andy will be ordained a priest of the Marians of the Immaculate Conception only 2 WEEKS after Dan and Julie's wedding- at the same church!! We are so excited for you Deacon Andy!

Dan's father is also a deacon! You may see him also on the altar during the wedding Mass! Looking forward to it, Deacon Dad!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Our reception is going to be one gigantic party so we hope you're ready! Cocktail hour starts at 5:30 pm at the Seneca Grand Ballroom at the Holiday Inn in Gaithersburg, MD. Dinner and dancing will follow throughout the evening!
