We picked a date!
We will be gettin' hitched April 5th, 2008 at UC San Diego's International House Great Hall.

It's an awesome building with some *ahem* great *ahem* areas for socializing, photos, and dining. We really think all our guests will enjoy what it has to offer. Highlites include an indoor fireplace, amazing architecture, two separate outdoor patios, and coolest of all, a view of Cheyanne's freshman dorm room window, where Andy would throw frisbees up to Cheyanne on his way home from practice.
