Our Event
We spent a lot of time thinking about the kind of wedding that we wanted to have. The traditional reception where you have four hours to see 150 people now GO didn't sit well with us. So many of you are traveling long distances to be with us. We wanted to make sure that we had a chance to really talk with everyone. You all mean so much to us, we didn't want to rush. So we decided to make a whole weekend out of it.
The wedding and reception will be happening at the lovely Holly Farm in Carmel Valley, CA. (You can check out the Holly Farm website, but it really does not do the place justice, we swear.) We show up on Friday and leave on Monday. Somewhere in between we'll be getting hitched.
August 7, Friday
Friday there will be a small rehearsal dinner with the wedding party and our immediate families at Holly Farm.
However, we recognize that most people will be arriving in the Carmel area Friday night (especially since most hotels have a two night requirement on the weekends). So we are planning a beach hangout, watch the sunset, eat s'mores, post-dinner gathering. If we can figure out how to do it, there will be a bonfire. And s'mores. It should be very relaxed and fun. Did we mention there will be s'mores? Children are certainly welcome. Once we find a beach we'll let you know if dogs are allowed.
August 8, Saturday
Saturday is the day of the wedding. The ceremony will start around 2:30. Don't worry, we'll keep it short. We'll start the reception with a cocktail hour around 3ish. We'll have official babysitting at the reception so the little ones won't be bored and the parents can have fun. The official party will run until about 11pm. But the thing we love about Holly Farm is that the place is ours. We can stay there and stay up as late as we'd like.
August 9, Sunday
Sunday most people will be packing up and heading home. But we won't be going anywhere yet. We'll be hosting a Hang Over Brunch at Holly Farm starting around 11ish. Come hang out with us, play some bocce, and get some vittles before you get on the road.
