Getting Married

Amy and I were married on the beach in La Jolla, CA (yes...in our bare feet like proper dirty hippies).

I wouldn't go between the months of August and October (all the way through Oct.) to minimize the chance of a hurricane ruining it.

Good luck and Congrats.

I looked into Jamaica, lots of all inclusive resorts that have wedding pacakages that are no fuss. They handle everything.

My brother just had a spectacular wedding to beat all weddings at the monument in provincetown, cape cod, ma... would be great for a summer wedding or fall wedding.

You're confusing dirty hippies with hillbilles.

We had a bong.

Something you wanna tell us?

Yes, I wanted to get married in Jamaica.

(past tense)

I always wanted to get married on a beach. I settled for Vegas instead, not recently.

Just checking...

Don't stop at October, we get Hurricanes right up through Christmas now.

I thought you had two seasons: hurricane season and February.

Well, I'm always partial to my part of the world.  I just love Sonoma County, CA.  Late summer weddings are fantastic here.  You NEVER have to worry about rain (it doesn't rain between mid-May and Dec).  The hills all around are this beautiful burnished gold color.  No humidity to deal with.  Vineyards, the ocean, redwood trees, etc.  What's not to like?

Of course, you're in MI, and I'm sure you know tons of people who got married on Mackinac Island, right?  Pretty.   

Anyone wanna take bets on how long it takes the Mac to post a list on all the reasons not to get married??  He,he.

Anyways, congrats on the engagememnt!!  Good luck planning your wedding- I'm sure it's very exciting!  I'm not married so I don't have ideas to give you.  Although I've heard of people getting married in Hawaii, or going to the Virgin Islands, and even getting married on a cruise!

I don't think so. What month do you want to get married? You can go down there anytime, but its just wise to minimize the risk of having to cancel.

Whoa! I drove my Domaine Carneros yesterday too!  Freaky!  I was thinking of the Carneros 10k we run there every April and how pretty it is.

Back on topic, sorta.  Way back in a previous (pre-triathlon) life, I worked (with my ex) as a beverage caterer in the area.  We catered quite a number of weddings at local wineries and hotels.  An outdoor wedding anytime between June and Oct is just beautiful.  The great thing about most of Sonoma County (unlike even Napa, IMO) is that we get coastal fog at night, so even if it's 100 degrees during the day (it's a dry heat) at night the temps drop to the 60s.  Like right now, it's August and I'm wearing long pants and about to go put on a sweater because it's cool enough for one.
