At last...

We have set the date to wed!

Thank you to all our amazingly wonderful

family members and friends

who have encouraged and patiently waited for

this momentous occasion.

We hope you will come celebrate with us

at our once in a lifetime event.

It will surely be the happiest day of

our life so far.

Much Love and Gratitude,

Katie & Don

We appreciate you visiting our website and certainly would love to hear what you have to say! Please sign our guest book and let us know you dropped by.

This weekend we were so lucky to watch two wonderful people get married. Our dear friends, Don and Katie, had a beautiful wedding in Napa, and we couldn't be happier for them. We were both honored to be members of their bridal party and were touched that they would choose our artwork for their Save the Date.

(Ta da!)

With the weekend fast approaching, we often worried about whether or not we would be asked to make a speech, toasting the new Mr. & Mrs. Being the former event planner that I am, I had a little something planned...just in case. So here's a little bit of what the guests would have heard:

What a beautiful wedding to celebrate two beautiful people! Don and Katie are two of the most thoughtful and caring people I know and we have great memories with them. When Jason and I were moving up to San Francisco in 2012 they took us to brunch; it was the start of many great meals together, and they both know us so well. They know that Jason and I love to do everything together as a couple, from working together to design their Save the Date, to having us both be members of their bridal party. With that, I reflect upon the things that I know about them as a couple, aside from our shared love of food. I remember the first time Don introduced me to Katie right after they returned from studying abroad in Siena. If I remember correctly, Katie wore a Dior shirt and carried a Gucci handbag and I thought to myself, this girl likes really nice things. And, when I think of Don, I think about how he's always looking for some really cool tool or gadget to improve his life...or his man cave. So today, I think about how Katie has Don, who just might be the nicest guy in the world, and Don has Katie, the girl who will always be improving his life. They were truly MFEO! So, let us raise our glasses and toast to Don and Katie and being made for each other!

Cheers!

Message: We loved your wedding website. It was great to read about your history together and how you met. The photos were excellent and showed both of your personalities. Now that we've read over everything, we're really anxious to meet Don who seems like such a great guy. We're also anxious to see Katie again after all these years. As we looked at the photos and read over the narrative, we couldn't help but remember Katie as a little girl running after Steven Joe and Stephen Dodson as well as Katrina. Katie wasn't quite old enough to keep up with the big kids, but she was so strong-willed that she ran after them and did every thing she could to catch them. One day at our house, the big kids were playing downstairs. Katie heard them and started down the stairs to get in on the action. The staircase was very steep, and she was in such a hurry to get downstairs that she fell all the way down. She cut her lip and the pain must have been terrible. Jerry picked her up at the bottom of the stairs, held her and comforted her, then tried to bring her back upstairs so she could be with her mom and rest for a while. However, Katie wasn't having any of that. She had worked so hard to get downstairs that she was determined to stay down there and play with the big kids.
