Wow! When we got the postcard, instantly thought "did they get hitched??" You guys are so crafty! What a fabulous destination to elope. One question for you jet setting all stars: Krick or Nissy? On the serious side, we are so thrilled for you two. Although we don't see you often, whenever we're with you two there is such a good energy around. What a beautiful place to get hitched and what beautiful people to have found eachother. We wish you so many more years of laughs, love and sharing not only the good but the bad in life with eachother. Congratulations! ~Derek and Tara

Congratulations Cousins! How lovely for you to share this special experience with us in this way. Hope you may come to my brother's wedding in IN this Summer. I put you on the guest list. It would be wonderful to see you again.

I love you two times a thousand. Congratulations from the bottom of my heart. Advice? Pfft, how could I give advice to the two of you? You set the bar for love, respect, and the amazing friendship and fun we all hope to find in a life partner. Thank you for getting married... I, too, have the inexplicable romantic idea of marriage. Keep the surprises coming. xo E.

I just got teary eyed at your wedding! Thank you so much for sharing this great event with James and I. We hope we can celebrate with you soon in person. We're about to celebrate our first anniversary, so I'm not about to give you advise, but but it's true what people have said, een though its just a piece of paper, somehow being married is better! I hope you keep discovering new depths and delights your marriage. Way to go! Jes (and James)

QUE BELLA!! How wonderful, you two. Congratulations!!! I couldn't be more happy for you... and SUCH a fitting ceremony and celebration. I'm actually surprised that I am not more surprised! I wish you all the love and happiness in the world - if that is even possible for someone to wish for. Now, when do WE get to celebrate?

What a Mother's Day surprise—and I became a mother-in-law with no advance warning. The surprise is not that it happened, but that it happened in this way. However, knowing my daughter, it really shouldn't be a surprise at all. I hope you celebrate every day of your lives the same way you have celebrated the last 3 weeks. love to you both, mom

Darcey cried because she wasn't invited :) Many congrats from the Graphics Department at Allegro! We're very please that your marriage ceremony involved at little bit of plotting and a little bit of trickery. It makes us very proud!

Poor, poor Darcey. Hey wait...None of us was invited! Nice one, Gilhooly!

Krissy--Congratulations! We're so happy that your mom shared your site with us. The pictures and story were captivating and it was wonderful to see what a beautiful woman you have become--not exactly the "river rat" we remember. We know that Nick is one smart man. We're happy for you both!

We completely get it. The reservations, the giving in to it, the eloping. Even the monkey and the turtles make sense. You are two wonderful people that deserve each other. We look forward to some hugs of congratulations. Welcome to the flawed but somehow still meaningful tradition of marriage.

Ahhh Nick the trickster! I am so very happy for the both of you. We should all be so lucky!

Krissy - I had a sense that something wonderful was awaitng you and Nick. Somewhere - sometime - somehow -- and did you ever deliver ! What you created for each other radiated all the spirit and talent for living well that has been your special brand since you were young. You make marriage look good and it is! Ann Marie Morrow

It was so much fun having you there Loren! Truly one of the most memorable experiences of my life, and I'm so glad you were a part of it. -Nick

I got just as teary eyed reading and looking at this as any wedding I've seen in person. So romantic! What a sweet way to make things official. Love to you both!

Gilhooligan! I had a feeling something was up when you were "updating your address book!" Jeremy and I both said "Krissy's getting married!" I love how you did it and I love your story and Jeremy and I love you! Congrats to you and Nick. It looks like it was an amazing adventure from the start. Enjoy your lives together. I don't think you guys need any advice, so just take it all in and ENJOY being married!

Yay, congratulations, you two! You both looks so beautiful/handsome! Krissy, I can totally relate to your feeling differently about marriage once you were engaged. Glenn and I had the same experience during our wedding ceremony. You become joined in a different way. And this is the reason marriage is still a viable institution, I believe. Can't wait to see you back in the States! safe travels -- gw & glenn

We couldn't be happier for you two. Your choice of location for your wedding certainly surpassed our choice of 26 years ago (Bishop, Calif.) However, if you think this web site makes up for not being invited you are so wrong! We love you both (& Lassie).

You know how happy this makes us! We are over the moon for you both and we couldn't have asked for a better "surprise"! We wish you both many years of adventures (& fun surprises), happiness, laughter, and love. We are very blessed to have such wonderful people like you in our lives! Cheers to a perfectly sweet "Nick & Krissy" Wedding!

Krissy, I think back to the time I drove you to Portland and how sad I was on my flight back to Denver. However it makes me very happy to see you and Nick so full of life and taking on the world in your own unique but sneaky way. So perhaps finding your soul mate in Portland was the silver lining to that trip. Nick, welcome to the family. Best wishes to you both—Jack.

Wow! I just got this postcard yesterday! What a completely spectacular way to get engaged and married! I love the stories! I love the video! I love the soundtrack! I love using exclamation points!!! I am so pleased to get this news. My fondest regards to you both, and I can't wait to congratulate you in person. -Andy

Dear Krissy and Nick, I can't think of two finer people to merge their lives in love and wonder! I, of course, just cried and cried when watching your video (thank goodness, I was not at the wedding!!) because it put me right there with you, experiencing all the delicious details. You were a truly BEAUTIFUL bride, Krissy; your dress and how you put it all together was so elegant, yet relaxed and refined, and you, Nick, looked so handsome in that light suit. BEST of all, both of you radiated so much love for one another. Thank you for sharing the lovely setting, the monkeys and turtles, and your contagious JOY in such a unique and FUN way! And, PS. with thankfully, much too late advice to Nick: EVERY woman wants to be engaged...no matter what they say or think they believe, and how you surprised Krissy was perfect--not to mention giving her that dazzling ring with meaningful family sentiment. CLASS act, all the way around, you two! Paul and I send our love and best wishes for a deeply rewarding and wonderful marriage. I hope you will come over with EZB when you are back home so we can have an excuse to crack open a bottle of bubbly or wine to celebrate your newly married life!! Lots and lots of love!

Congratulations to a wonderful couple! What a fantastic idea to elope; it fits just right with how you both feel about weddings. It looks like you guys had an amazing time: Thanks for so diligently documenting everything so we could all enjoy it back home! All The Best, Steve.

Congrats Nick and Krissy. Krissy, you looked so beautiful in your dress, you seemed to be glowing. Nick looked very handsome as well. Ella told me she wants to come to Portland and meet the new bride and groom. We will have to plan something soon. Love Gwyne, Neil and Ella

Nick and Krissy, Glad to hear the news of your wedding-- it looks like you found a perfect way to celebrate the joining of your lives! I thought perhaps Megan and Andy would be the ones to have the smallest wedding imaginable--- but you topped them. (They had nine guests, one officiant, and themselves at their wedding eleven years ago in July.) Wishing you all the best in the years ahead! Peg

How Romantic! Sharon and I are extremely pleased and happy for both of you. Nice how you've made it a family affair, and thanks for the calls from Gib. I suppose it's not really an elopement (something Sharon and I had considered AFTER our event!), since you've included your dearest friends, and invited us all to participate (even belatedly--I'm slow at getting to my email). To inject a religious note, a favorite psalm is No. 133--paraphrased in a hymn in remember from very young: "How good and pleasant is the sight when brethren make it their delight to dwell in blessed accord!" That's Nick and Loren! And also a very proud younger Mark, who loves to be near you two. Thanks so much for feeling a part of our family Krissy! We love you very much--you're so fun and sensitive and considerate to others--look at all those friends who are writing you!! Now we'll plan a chance to meet other friends whenever you can return to J'ville. Love, Dad

Life is not a race. Bird poop on your head is good. And it takes work to keep it together. These are my words of advice. Thanks so much for letting me be a part of this – definitely a wonderful time. I hope you have many laughs and many wonderful breakfasts together. Lots of love to you both, lil a.

Congratulations, Nick and Krissy ! Sharon called us the other night and asked....Are you near your computer ? So we checked it out immediately-- what happy news! and a great story that you will enjoy talking about for all the years to come. The photos are wonderful! What a handsome and happy couple! Your comments were heartwarming, and I loved Krissy's words about feeling a bit differently about your relationship when you became engaged. I remember when Carl and Helen were married (about 4 years ago), Pastor John asked them, "Do you know each other well?" And, of course, the answer was yes :-) ... but then Pastor John added that things would be a bit different now when they introduced each other as "This is my wife," and "This is my husband." May you be blessed with much love and happiness through the years! love, Elaine and Dennis

The person you choose and why you decide to share your lives in marriage is so much more important than when, where, or how you actually get married. That said, your wedding was amazingly beautiful, romantic and done in high style! Congratulations and best wishes for a lifetime of love and happiness together!!

We loved reading about about how much you both adore, care for and love each other. Your story is uniquely yours and in our opinion, fabulous! We love you two as a couple and it only makes sense that you picked each other. We look forward to congratulating you in person. Much love and...what an awesome website and postcard!! xo, Jolene and Ryan

Congratulations to you both!! I love the web site, and I love that you did what you felt was right for you..... We are both very happy for you. My mom and your dad were at our house when you called him to tell him that you got married, he was smiling from ear to ear, of course mom was too!! Congratulations again, we hope to see you both, somehow, sometime soon. Xoxo
