Thank you for taking the time to review our wedding registry. We are so thrilled to share our experiences with family and friends during the happiest moments of our lives. We are so happy to be joining our two families together, and we are really excited to see everyone on the big day! 

The Ceremony and Reception will be at The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, Athens. The best way to check them out is on Facebook or on the fellowship website at http://uuathensoh.org

The Ceremony will be outside, with Reception to follow in same location, inside/outside. 

Building History 

The Fellowship Building was designed and engineered by artists, engineers, and craftspeople of the Fellowship. The work of brick sculptor John Spofforth is most recognizable in the distinctive exterior and the columbarium in front of the building. Engineers William Beale and Charles Overby oversaw the building’s structure as well as the heating and plumbing systems, and artist Cliff McCarthy was most responsible for the interior design. Front doors by artist Robert Borchard greet members and friends. The building was accomplished mainly by the volunteer labor of members, families and friends. It was not unusual for 20-30 workers of all ages to turn out on weekends. The flooring came from the old Women’s Gym at Ohio University and glass from the Fenton Factory was used in the round windows, recycling resources from the region.

Many of the hiking trails are located less then 35 mins from our house, and you will not be dissappointed. 

As some of you know we have merged our two families during the past few years. We recently just bought a home, and have been very busy working on remodeling, landscaping and family fun!
