A resolute and resounding welcome to our lovely and loving guests! By now you’ve probably received the splendidly-crafted invitations, but below is a refresher on the vital statistics for our wedding celebration:
Joshua Ray Stephens to take the hand of Mary Lynn Santanello
Saturday, August 23, 2008
Cranbrook, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan
Ceremony at 5:30 p.m., under the Peristyle
Reception to follow immediately thereafter, along the Reflecting Pools
For the rest of the bloody details, best to explore the other posts… but first an explanation for the question that has most often popped up upon announcement of our engagement: Why Detroit?!? She’s a Cardinals fan, he’s got the southern drawl, they live in Brooklyn—how is Michigan involved? The obvious link to Detroit, and Cranbrook specifically, is that Joshua Ray attended graduate school there. The campus also happens to be one of the most stunning man-made sites in all of the States (= not too shabby a backdrop for wedding photos). But perhaps the dearest reason for choosing Cranbrook is that we both share a whole-hearted and full-bodied belief that it is one of the most essential, subtly-influential and consequential institutions of our time, and we’re delighted to use the opportunity of our nuptials to introduce even more special people to its magic.
