In 1989, Jean Ellen and Michael attended the same Halloween party. The flame didn't spark for either of us. (Michael's brother Jimmy stole the show in the only photo from the evening.) In 1999, Michael played the saxophone solo in the school band's final concert. Jean Ellen thought he was dreamy from afar. In 2019, after dating, breaking up for a decade, and dating once more, we are getting married. We can't wait to celebrate with you. We have chosen the opening weekend of Keeneland, Lexington's historic racetrack. Given the popularity of the Fall Meet, we encourage you to book hotels and flights as soon as possible. May the weekend be a bigger hit than the '89 autumnal shindig where it all started, and may you leave loving Kentucky as much as we do. See you in October! With love, Jean Ellen and Michael
