Wedding Ceremony 

Many of you generously contributed to our honeymoon fund, and we can't thank you enough! Your generosity helped make our dream trip to Italy possible. We chose Tuscany for its beautiful spring scenery, charming villages, and unforgettable food and wine -- it couldn't have been more perfect. ❤️

Day 1

Our Italian adventure began in Rome, then onward to Florence by train.

Day 2

From David in Florence to the rolling hills of Trequanda.

Day 3

A perfect day in Montalcino, exploring castles and Brunello with our sommelier, Alexandra.

Day 4

We began bright and early in the village of Montisi, where we started our truffle hunting experience.

Day 5

From the hilltop streets of Assisi to an impromptu tulip festival, some of the best moments weren’t planned. 

Day 6

No plans, no itinerary—just spontaneity. It turned into the most memorable and exciting day of our honeymoon.

Day 7

Our last day in Tuscany

Day 8 

Final day in Italy: Rome

Honeymoon Photos

It all started with a missing earring.    Marc and Danielle first met on September 22nd 2018 at a wine tasting room in Carlsbad, CA.    But it wasn't until his Uncle’s wedding roughly 3 years later that they would meet again.

The History

Back in the ‘90s when everyone was watching ER and listening to Third Eye Blind, Denise (Mother of the Bride) and her friend Lynne were boppin' their heads to tunes while working together.&nbsp; Some 25 years later, Lynne re-located to San Diego, met Steve, (Marc's Uncle) and the two fell in love.&nbsp; In September of 2018, Denise had a conference, and wanted to meet-up with her longtime friend while visiting California. Since Danielle had moved to LA, she drove them down to visit her friends.&nbsp; Banking on some free booze, Steve &amp; Lynne just so happened to know a server who would probably cut them a good deal at a nearby tasting room. Marc walked up to the table: confident, with a smile, and genuine. It was quick in that moment Marc and Danielle locked eyes. Upon returning to their hotel room, Danielle began to unwind for bed. She removed one earring from her ear, proceeded to take out the other, all to discover it was missing. Panicked, she called Steve for help. The most he could do was give her Marc's cell number -- maybe it was left at the tasting room. Marc searched high and low; behind barrels, and in-between steel bars for this damn earring. All for Danielle to text him back 90 minutes later that the earring…was on the hotel carpet… the entire time. She had gone the whole day with only one earring. Marc had felt a strong connection with Danielle, and was hoping she would miss more earrings to be called on. Even if searching for no reason.

Later

Lynne and Steve had planned an intimate wedding with a limited guest count, and decided on inviting Denise &amp; her husband Aaron. But, Denise's Father (Dennis) was in declining health. And Aaron didn't feel comfortable leaving him at home alone. Steve and Lynne had agreed for Danielle to take his place as Denise's +1. After the ceremony, Denise &amp; Danielle boogied on the dance floor. On the other side of the venue, Robert (Marc's cousin) spotted Danielle in a yellow dress. Robert: Hey, you see that girl over there? You should go talk to her.Marc: I think I may know that girl. So he took to the dance floor. Denise: Hey! Are you that one guy? --Marc: Yes, yes I think we have met before at --Denise: Yes! At the wine bar! I knew I recognized you! She gestures with her thumb at Danielle. Denise: This is my daughter.Marc: HiDanielle: Hi She smiled and made her way over to the help yourself to whatever wine you want bar while Marc trailed along. They got to talking and had a nice time getting re-acquainted. Denise &amp; Danielle's AirBnB was just a mile down the road, and they had asked if they could hitch a ride from Marc &amp; his cousin Alexandre. After dropping them off, Marc drove away with only one thing on his mind. He turned to Alexandre and said: I'm going to Marry that Girl.

For those of you that will be flying in, we recommend flying into the Sonoma County Airport (STS). There are direct flights on Alaska Airlines via Burbank, LAX, Orange County, San Diego, Portland & Seattle. As well as through American Airlines via DFW, Phoenix, Las Vegas or Palm Springs . Then you can either Uber/taxi the 15 minutes to Healdsburg or rent a car. You could also opt to fly into OAK, SFO, or SAC; however, keep in mind the drive from the airport will be much longer (about 1.5-2 hours depending on traffic).   Our venue is in Geyserville, but we highly recommend staying in Healdsburg or Windsor as there are a wide range of hotel options and a lot of great restaurants/things to do.  Please keep in mind Ubers and taxis are not as readily available like they are in large metropolitan type cities. If you are flying in, we encourage booking a rental car.
