Ryan and Rachell

Rachell and I want to thank you all so much for celebrating our marriage with us last Saturday! We had a fantastic time and will cherish that day always!

Here’s some pictures from our guestbook camera (thanks Meghan, Brian, & Betty Ann!). Please post your pictures of the events in the comments (use flickr if you’re new to posting photos)! We’d love to check them out. And if you’d send us a CD of the giant digitals, we’d be more than greatful!

We’re celebrating our honeymoon in Bora Bora and Moorea. Talk to you all when we get back!

Rachell and I are so excited about celebrating our marriage with you all. For our out-of-town guests, we’d like to offer a special welcome and a warm thank you for making your way out to see us.

We’ve jotted down a few of our favorites to help you find great food and beautiful scenery during your stay. Let us know if we can recommend any thing else for your trip. Here’s an example:

Take the scenic route

For those coming in to San Jose Airport, consider taking a more scenic route to Palo Alto. The trip to Palo Alto from SJC is about 25 minutes, but head my way and you’ll get lost in the mountains for about 90 minutes.

Head up the Santa Cruz Mountains, through redwoods, vineyards, and wide open views of the bay and the Silicon Valley. Check the map for details. You can even stop at the Thomas Fogarty Winery (19501 Skyline Blvd) for a tasting!

In the last two years I’ve fallen in love with this part of the country, and I’m hoping that sharing it with you will lead more people we love to join us out here!

With 10 days left, and the final plans coming together, Rachell and I would like to offer a little teaser for our reception. Please bring comfortable shoes… and don’t expect to leave early.

If you have iTunes (it’s free), then you can enjoy a preview of some selections from our Reception Playlist. There should be a little something for everyone.

We’re looking forward to celebrating our marriage with you!
