W & K tie the knot

On a beautiful fall day in October, our dear friends, W & K were married. But the way things were looking on Friday, I was worried that the day would be less than perfect. On Friday it poured and poured and poured some more. The rain was so bad that it had flooded the freeway in three places between San Jose and Redwood City (it took me almost 3 hours to get between the two). I had heard that the ceremony and reception were all planned to take place outdoors and we were all concerned that the rain would put a damper on the big day.

But come Saturday morning the sun was shining and there wasn't a cloud in the sky! We drove up to Sebastopol and checked into our hotel. After getting ready we headed over to the cute little winery where the festivities were to take place. The setting was fantastic; tables with big market umbrellas overlooked the golden vineyards in the distance. The ceremony took place on a grassy knoll overlooking the valley below.

The ceremony, of course, was beautiful. Dinner was delicious and the speeches were great, especially the two songs sung by a barbershop quartet made up of K's family & friends. After the first dances and the cutting of the cake, it was time to leave the heat lamps by the tables and head up to the dance floor to get our grove on! A great time was had by all... especially one of the gals at our table who overindulged a bit with the wine. For me it was great to hang out with Chica and G's family (who were all there).

Overall it was fantastic! But once again we didn't get the award for the furthest traveled... but just barely. K's sister lives in Zurich, so she and her husband beat us by just 275 kilometers (170 miles). But the trip was well worth it, we had such a great time and we are thrilled to have been able to share in the celebration!
