We are finally planning a wedding after 8 years together and 3 years engaged! I know the timing is pretty anti-climactic for most of you, but we are still excited to celebrate our commitment and love with our closest family and friends!

We'd like to plan a celebration that reflects who we are as a couple and so, as a couple who loves to explore the great outdoors together, we've chosen the beautiful coastal redwood location of Monte Toyon just south of Santa Cruz, CA tucked in a redwood forest retreat. Please check this site for information on activities, lodging, transportation, RSVPs and more! We're looking forward to a wonderful time with great company!
