PRIVATE EVENT
Thursday, May 20, 2003

Carmi's pastor from the Philippines, Pastor Andy Gaor is currently in the U.S. and will be leaving the U.S. on May 25. For many years he has been her spiritual father. Carmi strongly desires for him to officiate our marriage and do our vows in his presence in Los Angeles. Because of the early date, many in the wedding entourage are not able to attend a wedding in May, so this will be a small private marriage ceremony. Richard and Carmi will be together in Los Angeles from May 20-May 24. Richard will fly back to Seattle and Carmi will continue to work in L.A.

LOS ANGELES WEDDING & RECEPTION
Saturday, June 16, 2003
Time and location to be determined

This wedding ceremony will include co-workers, friends, relatives, and the wedding entourage. Carmi's pastor from Los Angeles, Pastor Chito, will officiate the wedding. The wedding will be at a church in Glendale, CA.

The reception will be at a restaurant a few miles from the church. There will be buffet style Chinese food and an area for dancing. No alcohol will be served at the reception.

HONEYMOON
Originally our wedding was going to be on June 26, but Pastor Chito will be gone at that time. However special senior friends of Rich donated a vacation to Puerto Vallarta and it was scheduled based upon the June 26 wedding date. So here is our new honeymoon plans:

From June 17-June 26 Carmi and Rich will be in Los Angeles going to different attractions and spending a restful time with each other.

From June 27-July 3 we will be in Puerto Vallarta thanks to Lyn and Jan Benson. They are very special friends to Rich.

SEATTLE RECEPTION
Tentatively July 10, 3:00pm
Kirkland Assembly of God Church

This event will be for the friends of Richard to be able to celebrate with us our new marriage. It will also be a time for ministry. Many of the people that Richard ministers to on Capitol Hill will be invited to the reception.

We will have a short video/slide show of our Los Angeles wedding/reception/honeymoon. Afterwards there will be a reception in the fellowship hall. At the end of the reception, there will be a short church service where Richard will preach on the wedding feast. There will be a time for individuals to accept Christ, to walk in sexual purity, and couples to make a recommitment to their spouse.
