The summer of 2001 started it all. Michelle was thinking she would like to attend the Coast Guard Academy, and Adam was in his 2nd Class summer. The CGA has a program called the Academy Introductory Mission (AIM) for high schoolers between their junior and senior year who are thinking of attending the CGA. Its a week long, mini-swab summer and orientation to life at a military academy. Alfa 2 platoon had Adam for a cadre, and Michelle for a potential cadet. Later that fall when Michelle was trying to decide whether or not to go to the CGA she began emailing her cadre (Adam) to seek opinions and advice. Long story short (or at least, short-er) Michelle decided to attend Rollins instead, but had become friends with Adam.

They kept in touch and come Spring of 2003 Michelle was there to see her brother Michael (and thus Adam) graduate from the CGA. Afterward the families of Michael, Adam and Jon all traveled to Indianappolis to watch the Indy 500. Michelle and Adam spent much of that time hanging out and before the night was over, had had their first kiss. (Michelle then proceeded to giggle like a middle schooler and trip over a couch as she went back to her room - if there had been a tree - she would have run right into it! Yet, all Adam remembered was that she left. MEN! =) .

The two kept in touch as friends while Michelle moved around and Adam made his way from Pole to Pole. In March of 2005, Adam's icebreaker was to make a stop in Hawaii on their way back from Antarctica. Michelle was happy to be the tour guide for whoever made their way to the Big Island. As things turned out, Adam was the only one from the icebreaker to head over to the Big Island. After a week of camping, cliff jumping, lava hiking, and beautiful sunsets, they were head over heels in love.

Beach chic. Elegant but comfortable. Beautiful but barefoot. I realize these sound like oxymorons, but oh well! We are going for a beautiful, bells and whistles, full on glamour look but with the kick off your shoes and have some good food and fun feeling.

Ladies, break out that flirty fun cocktail dress with sparkles you haven't had an excuse to wear, but leave the stilettos at home (or plan on ditching them!).

Fellas, anything you feel "GQ" in works just fine. A suit makes things simple. Sport coats with slacks rock, but should feel free to be tie free! (Unless you love it, or its a great cheesy fun wedding tie!)

The BoatYard is a casual resturant that overlooks the marina. We want you to be relaxed, but leave the cutoffs at home please!! =) (Unless you almost had the roll of Daisy Duke, your legs just aren't enough to overcome the cutoff.)

Here are some things you really must do while you are in the area:

Come to the wedding and then celebrate at the reception!!!

Golf: Located minutes from the beaches of Panama City, the Bay Point Marriott Resort is home to not just one but two of the most spectacular 18-hole golf courses along the Emerald Coast and Florida Panhandle. The recently renovated Meadows Course continues to be a popular choice, along with our Nicklaus Design Course which opened in the fall 2006. Along with 36 unique and challenging holes, these top-notch Panama City golf courses will offer an extensive practice area, consisting of a manicured putting green and driving range. Feel free to get a group together ot take advantage of it!

Spa: The Marriott hosts the world class, full service, Serenity Spa. It my be our wedding, but its your vacation - live it up!

Jet Skiing, Parasailing, Kayak Rentals, etc: Contact the hotel activities desk for more information.

RELAX!!: At the hotel, there are a few pools, indoor and out, hot tubs, and of course, the beach. Feel free to just lay back and relax for a while!

Panama City airport is about 20 minutes away from the hotel. Delta is the main carrier for it, which means you'll be connecting through Atlanta! (for this, i apologize!) Because it is a small airport, it tends to be someone more expensive than many other airports. If you are renting a car, and don't mind driving a few hours, feel free to also check flying into Tallahassee (2hours), Pensacola (2.5 hours), Destin (1 hour), or Fort Walton (1.5 hours).

I recommend delta.com and kayak.com for finding your flights.

As for renting a car, it is not absolutley necessary. A taxi (be it the yellow kind or the mom or friend picking you up kind) can get you to and from the hotel, and carpooling can probably be arranged for the welcome party. However, should you want to go anywhere else while you are here, you might want to consider renting a car because nothing off property is easily accesible (or walking distance). Please talk to others you know that are coming so that we don't end up with EVERYONE renting a car when carpooling would save gas and emmissions.

April 3, 2009.

Bay Point Marriott Beach: We will practice walking in a straight line, and then its on to dinner and drinks!

BoatYard Restaurant: The rehersal dinner will be an intimate group, but everyone is welcome to join in after for drinks and dessert! We want to spend as much time as posible with our guests so we invite everyone to join us for a good time after you've had dinner on your own. Anytime after 8pm is a great time to join us upstairs at the BoatYard Resturant.
