Last Spring, my husband Luke and I spent 8 fantastic days in San Francisco and Napa Valley. We were celebrating 10 years since the day we first met during our care-free college days and boy, were we in for a memorable vacation. The area is breath-takingly beautiful and there are a million fun things to do. We explored a majestic redwood forest, toured wineries, shopped and dined in San Francisco’s finest, indulged in spa treatments, enjoyed home-cooked meals at a quaint Bed and Breakfast and took-in amazing views of the city skyline and Golden Gate bridge.
It’s become our special place and we hope to return year after year. We were lucky enough to visit for a second time last month (which I’ll write about and post photos of soon, I’m sure) for our 5th wedding anniversary. If you’re thinking of visiting San Francisco, Napa or Sonoma Valley – for those of you planning a wedding, it’s perfect for a romantic honeymoon - leave a comment or drop me an email. I did a lot of research and planning and would be happy to share the details of our trip.
Whitney and Jeremy’s wedding took place at Reunion Ranch in Georgetown. The groomsmen were dressed sharply in silver tuxes, it was really fun to see the groom, his twin brother and nephew prepare for the celebration. The ladies gowns were sweet, tea-length in a lovely shade of satin which caught the light and mirrored the natural green of the trees and grounds surrounding the hall.
Austin receives the most annual rainfall in the month of May and this Saturday was no exception. The rainfall was steady and soft when we arrived but grew stronger as the ceremony approached, moving the ceremony indoors under twinkle lights and in front of a two-story limestone fireplace decorated with romantic candles.
The bride was breathtaking, her hair was swept up and a beaded, fingertip veil fell softly down her back. She wore a stunning gown with a silver lace overlay, the gown sparkled and was incredibly elegant. Whitney’s smile was the most beautiful of all.
The ceremony was followed by a reception of dinner, desert, champagne toasts and dancing. The Father-Daughter dance was so sweet and the bride’s brother was an exceptional dancer, evident by the photo of him upside down on the dance floor. The many younger guests at this wedding all enjoyed dancing, cake and saying good-bye to the bride and groom with bright, fun sparklers.
Congratulations to Whitney and Jeremy – enjoy the honeymoon!
