Thanks To Those Who Made It To Spain!

Our major event of the summer entailed planning and sharing a week-long vacation with friends from the USA prior to our wedding. It was magnificent! We shared a villa with 13 other friends and family members and 6 other guests shared a hotel on the beach nearby. We all shared the island, sight seeing, eating, swimming and creating many memories.

We flew our photographer and her husband, Jen and David, from Chicago to Spain to joing us. If you recall, David surprised me (Jordyn- duh) with a surprise trip to Chicago in December 2007 for his proposal and he had connected with Jen to capture the event. She did such a fabulous job, we HAD to bring her to capture our wedding!

Chad and Jessi, originally David's friends from college, who have now adopted me (Jordyn) helped us plan the trip. They not only shared a week in Mallorca with us, but we tug along to travel the Spanish penninsula with them the week after the wedding. What a marvelous honeymoon!

Jenise, not only a close friend, but the host of Jordyn's Lancaster bridal shower, joined us for our week-long adventure. She has 4 children who we love and she is our inspiration for building our own family.

Dave and Ashley, also friends of David's from college joined us at the villa and were always armed with hilarious comments and great conversation.

Mom and Dad Acklin (John and Jeanne) and brother, Jarrett all supported our wedding by making the travels to Mallorca along with cousin, Tim from Ohio. He, likely, had the longest trip to travel but it was 100% worth it, for the fun and memories will last forever!

Mike and Dawn where there the first moment we began talking about getting married and have stayed friends ever since. We met through our church, LCBC, and look forward to many years of memories together.

Sam and Phil, Abbey and Emily are all friends who came for half the week, and it was so wonderful to share these few days with them! Sam and Phil are friends from LCBC and networked in other ways as well, and Abbey used to live above Jordyn in her first apartment. Emily is Abbey's sister, and we've adopted her into our little group of friends!

Holly, one of our co-workers at school and Denny, joined us for the week in Spain from the USA. They were a treat to have and even let us use their car for the wedding. What fun we had with these two wild ones! :-)

Thanks to all of the friends who shared our wedding with us in Mallorca Spain!

Lets do it again!
