We can't believe it's here! Eight short years ago, if you had asked me how serious Chris and I were, I would have had one answer for you- "It's not like I'm marrying him or anything, he's just good for right now." It sounds horrible, but it's true. We both never anticipated this relationship turning into this.

However, we are so excited to have reached this place. We are so excited to be getting married, and to make our little family (us and the two dogs) official!

We want to thank all our family and friends for being so supportive and amazing. We hope you'll join us in celebrating this crazy journey, and the future!

Now, a few details........

The wedding and reception will be taking place at Tenaya Lodge, in Fish Camp, CA near Yosemite on October 12, 2013.

Our ceremony will be starting at 4:00pm, with cocktail hour and the reception to immediately follow!

The reception will offer multiple "action stations", allowing you to choose the ingredients to your meals and watch as it is being made. Vegetarian and meat options will both be available.

As the wedding is taking place in the Sierras, please be advised weather conditions may be questionable up until the week of the wedding. Be prepared for heat, rain, and even the possibility of snow!

Special Considerations: Dogs and Children

We call our dogs our children, and plan on having them part of the weekend. One of the great things about the lodge is that it is extremely dog and child friendly.

Dog sitting/ walking services, as well as child-sitting services will be sponsored by us during the wedding.Options are available, so please inquire with the bride about specifics.

If you plan on using these services, please contact Casey so that she can make the arrangements with the hotel. You may also mention it on your RSVP card.
