Thats great. I have always wanted to get married on a coaster. I know it sounds corny but I think it would be really fun and unique.

I am very happy for them. I know they have been going out for a long time but I didn't know it was 15 years. Wow!
I saw them at Spring Fling in Georgia and they were talking about the upcoming wedding.
