As many of you may know, I had the opportunity to spend this past weekend in Napa, CA for Erika Schmid's wedding. She is one of my dearest friends, so I am extremely grateful to Pfeifer Camp for letting me leave camp on Thursday afternoon to be in the wedding. Here's a brief overview of my weekend!
After too much time traveling on Thursday I finally reached the Sacramento Airport at 10pm to be greeted by Erika's father, Mike and her sister Heidi who had just flown in from Irvine, CA. After another hour of driving, we finally reached Napa! First, we headed to the Schmid household to say hi to the bride and groom, then I went to Lily's parents house which was where I got to stay for the weekend.
Lily's house is also called the Trubody Ranch and her parents grow and sell wine grapes. They used to run a Bed & Breakfast there for 19 years, but found they could make a living just by selling the grapes. The picture up on the left is a view of what I woke up to on Friday morning. It was a beautiful morning.
Friday pretty much just consisted of wedding stuff. Setting up the gym for the reception, rehearsal, and rehearsal dinner. It was a long day, but it didn't matter because I was with such wonderful people.
This is us setting up for the photo booth- which served as the Guestbook.

ReplyDeleteWe are grateful that you took the time to come for Erika and Eli's wedding!

ReplyDeleteHope you had a lovely wedding! My sister in law planned a baby shower treat for her friend. Her choice of all the bookings was praiseworthy. Best part was self decorations done at LA event venues with balloons and flowers. Pink designs and cake was a clear sign of baby girl gender reveal. Thinking to arrange similar one for my friend too in coming months.
