The Final Countdown

If there was a word for over the top excited, that would be us right about now! The 10 day forecast is almost up but we are thinking that while we are in SanFran it will be in the mid 60s and then for our Napa fun it is going to be in the mid 80s (WITH NO HUMIDITY). Perfection everywhere we turn :) 

Just got this picture of the spot we are getting married, this was taken a few weeks ago, so the vines are going to be in full effect for the wedding day. And the flowers are heaven! We shipped out colorful parasols and fans for the guests to use during the ceremony since there will be no shade, but lets be honest, the picture the photographer will take with the colors of the parasols, the vineyards, and us getting married will be priceless. 

Brix is lookin' good!

The vineyards are growing and the herb garden is in full force! Brix is ready for us!! Whose excited, we certainly are. 

Excitement is building!!

The sun is FINALLY out in Columbia and today I woke up REALLY REALLY excited for Napa. I called my mom this morning on the way to work and the RSVPs have been coming in with NO REGRETS, that is what we are talking about!!! Alex and I are finalizing the menu for the cocktail reception and dinner today and it is pretty amazing if we do say so ourselves... like really great. Just wanted to share some pictures from our trip to Napa a few months ago so you can start to be just as excited as we are. WE. ARE. GETTING. MARRIED.

Registry

The Day After

So we get married and celebrate with all of our favorite people.... now what. Taste wine of course!!!

Alex and I will spend the day on Friday July 5 meeting our friends and family at different vineyards around the valley. Once you make your plans for Friday, please let us know where you will be and we will work it in our schedule to come and taste with you or just sit and  enjoy a glass of the bestest wine!

Welcome Cocktails!

The three month countdown is on!!!!!!!!!!!!

We will be hosting Welcome Cocktails at Oxbox Public Market on Wednesday July 3 from 5-6:30. The market is one of our favorite places to go in Napa because you literally can eat and drink the best of what the valley has to offer. The attire for the welcome cocktails is fun summer attire so please don't come with a coat and tie (casual fun is the theme of the celebration)! When you come to the market, we will have drink specials at The Wine & Cheese Merchant, located at the far end when you walk into the main entrance (across from Hog Island Oyster Bar). Come say hello, get a drink, eat some cheese, and then PLEASE wander. Do not feel like you need to stay with us in one spot, we picked this location because we want our guests to enjoy and taste what is around them. After we have some cocktails, everyone is welcome to make their own dinner plans and enjoy their first night in Napa with friends :)

5 months and counting!

The party has been planned and we are so excited we can't stand it!! Alex and I are working with our families to make our final plans and get all of the details just right. Please let us know what you are thinking as far as your travel plans so we can make sure to meet up before in SanFran and so we know where you are staying in Napa. We will be sending out information of places to meet for happy hour cocktails in SanFran if you are there when we are there. Do not by any means feel pressured to come, just thought it would be great to have some cocktails while we are enjoying the city. And we want to know your plans because we are just so excited to share this time with everyone that we dont want to miss out on a minute of fun and celebration. WE ARE GETTING MARRRRIIIEEEDD!!!
