We Are Finally Married!

I've been married a full week as of today!

Justin and I managed to pull together our wonderful wedding (with some help from some wonderful people!). We hit a few bumps along the way, but it ended up being a WONDERFUL time enjoyed by all.

We got married on Blind Beach (which may look familiar - it's the beach from the final scene of The Goonies).

The Goonies!
Our Wedding! 
I've always loved this beach, even before I realized it was the same beach as The Goonies. My family has been coming here for 20 years when we go on family camp outs.  We always stayed at Cassini Ranch, my brothers and I all had our first coffee at Gold Coast Coffee (I still drive there to buy my beans and my mom drives 3 hours each way to get hers!) and we go out here to remember my brother, Jesse, each year.

Justin and Cody went to the beach the day before the wedding to create a path that was more easily accessible so our grandfathers could make down to the beach (my gramps is 90!).  The morning of the wedding, Justin, Cody, Tre, and Nick went out and moved drift wood to make "pews".

Do Work!
It all went by so fast!  We made it through the ceremony and were taking pictures when the ranger showed up. Not sure what they said, but they bought us a bit of time to take more pictures before we needed to break it up.

As if the beautiful beach wasn't enough, this is where we had our reception.

The Raford Inn - Healdsburg, CA
Our wedding party and reception were hosted by The Raford Inn and I can't say enough about how awesome everything was. Dane and Rita are amazing hosts and their staff were delightful and so helpful. The property is immaculately maintained and the rooms are charming and comfortable. We had a wonderful time with our friends and families

Ultimately, I think I overplanned a bit (made some wonderful signs and decorations that didn't get used), but I'd rather over plan then under plan.

I'm going to do a post on The HeART of the Rogue Rabbit featuring the full stationary suite we developed for the event, including the super awesome 3D printed Save The Dates. I'm almost done with the Thank You cards that complete the full suite.

Thanks to everyone that came out and celebrated with us (and extra special thanks to those whose help was indispensable).
