I am not really sure we deserved the amazing wedding God graced us with. It was an absolutely wonderful weekend. I will, of course, never forget it and when I think about it I can’t believe it is part of the story of my life.
The best part about it was the people who were there. When we began to plan our wedding, our biggest priority was to have the people we cared about there and that they would all have a good time and see God’s miracles in our lives and theirs. We really didn’t sweat much of the details! I’d have to say I was a very relaxed bride.
To the many we owe Thanks!!
We want to extend our deepest thank you for helping to make our wedding such a wonderful event! Thank you so much for coming! Thank you all for your wonderful gifts and support! You all helped make the day such a huge blessing for us!

Whew, time has just been flying by since the Wedding! Hopefully we’ll get around to updating our blog ( http://www.paulandkaelin.com) with all of the wonderful stories we’ve had. Our lives have truly been filled with God’s blessings. We will be posting links to additional photos there.
We went to Puerto Rico for our honeymoon. We got to relax on the beach, explore San Juan, meet a number of the locals, explore the rainforest, and snorkel through the lively waters around the island. It was absolutely gorgeous there… it was very difficult to be torn away from that amazing place. We got connected with a church down there and befriended a number of the church members and the pastor. One of the church elders even put us up in his beach-front condo. It was truly a time filled with God’s blessings.
After the honeymoon we had a somewhat extended honeymoon… we spent a few weeks in Eric’s parent’s beachhouse in Long Beach, CA (thanks Eric!). We finally pulled the trigger on moving to Denver at the end of July. Now we working on settling ourselves here in Denver. We’re really enjoying the sunny days here. The sky is absolutely gorgeous here, never have we seen such deep, pronounced colors, especially as the sun sets behind the rocky mountains. We are still orienting our lives here, but are so far enjoying our new surroundings. Of course, we still miss our friends and family in Minneapolis, Portland, California, Arizona, and elsewhere… we cannot wait to see you all again soon!
Feel free to drop us a line. We don’t get great cell reception where we live, so we might call you from another line… but we want to hear from all of you!
Lots of Love and heartfelt thanks,
Paul and Kaelin Ireland
