female only And so we got married..... :)

and it was absolutely lovely. Everything worked out wonderfully. Considering how 'little control' I had, I was unusually calm for a typical Type-A. We planned everything in the last two weeks. When we finally decided to elope in Napa, we had to get everything organized in two weeks. I found a dress. I found a photographer online, who recommended a friend of hers who would be our officiant. The officiant volunteered her home for the ceremony- she said there would be nice pictures. That was an understatement- her gorgeous adobe mountain property was something out of Tuscany. IT WAS GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!! I had someone come and do my hair and make-up (and was hella nervous about her, but she worked out so well)

Our ceremony was held outside by a beautiful olive tree with my now-husband, our friend (who flew down from DC), and her son. It was intimate, but lovely- and I would not have done it any differently. 70 degree weather, gorgeous sun!

We celebrated after at the Culinary Institute, and I did have some wine. We shared a tart from Bouchon instead of wedding cake.

And now I am the Mrs.
