You Won’t Believe This Big Announcement

Miranda and I are getting married.

Wednesday, July 23rd.

We are having a small wedding (family only), and a pig pickin’ afterwards (it’s a Eastern NC thing-you might call it a barbeque).  We’ve decided to do it so suddenly for a number of reasons, but primarily because of my mother’s health issues. She may be able to be released from the hospital on Friday (which is a miracle in itself), but who knows if and when the leukemia will attack again. She will also be headed to SC to be with family because they can provide supportive care for her 24-7-365. All that being said, Miranda and I both want to get married with her there, and we both wanted a small wedding anyway, so it made sense. We moved our date up (quite a bit, but still quite doable), and will be married at 6:00pm this coming Wednesday. If you can’t make it to the after-party, still feel free to give us a gift! (Shameless plug alert). We are registered at Target and Bed, Bath, and Beyond. Click on the links to see the list. Of course, we’ll always take cash or gifts!

We love one another very much and look forward to displaying the Gospel through our marriage for the world to see! We love you as well, and can’t wait to see you in person!

Hi Derek -
Doug and I wish you and Miranda all the best as you enter into a new life together. We wish that we could be there to celebrate with you, but know that we are there in spirit. Doug also suggests that you serve bacon at your pig pickin’ :)
All our Best, Da Baer’s
