Shaun about Zoe:
Zoe is my adorable seven-year-old niece. I've missed seeing her ever since she moved to Arizona a few years ago, and I'm really excited to have her in our wedding. The first time Silke met Zoe, they played "Dolphin and Shark" all afternoon, until Silke was too out of breath to run around anymore. Zoe does gymnastics, is very skilled at crafts (she made a beautiful bead necklace for Silke), and loves taking and posing for pictures.

Zoe has never been a flower girl before, which we consider a great injustice. (Just look at how cute she is!) We're happy to rectify this in July.

About Lynda:
In envisioning our wedding, we wanted to combine both of our backgrounds to create one beautiful event. For us, that meant that our ceremony should include both English and German elements so that all of our guests would be able to share this special moment with us. We only needed an officiant who would be able to speak both languages.

Our dear friend Lynda agreed not only to officiate our wedding, but also to learn German just for the event. Lynda is very gifted with languages and is a fast and avid learner. Our German lessons with her have been so much fun! We feel honored to have her marry us. Thank you Lynda.

About Ron:
Ron is the consummate gentleman and a wonderful dancer. He is the kind of guy who will get anybody (even non-dancers) on the dance floor, gracefully lead them through a dance, and leave them with a big smile on their face. In his free time, Ron is a very talented handyman who rips apart and puts back together a house in record time. He has helped Shaun with many of his projects around the house with sound advice, lent tools, and his own two hands. Ron is also quite the jokester, so don't let him send you to Chicago for our wedding!

About Paul:
Paul is a good friend of ours and an excellent Hustle instructor. He is single-handedly responsible for everything that's good about our Hustle dancing. (We take responsibility for everything that's bad.) Paul will dance a ten-minute song without breaking a sweat. Maybe this is due to the kickboxing class he goes to twice a week (which Silke also attends), or maybe he's just that good. Paul works at Yahoo! and is a proud husband and father. We're sure he'll usher our guests well.
