We were married at Edna
Valley Vineyard in San Luis Obispo, California. The wedding
was officiated outside by Sherri Hereford underneath a garden arch.
The weather was warm and beautiful, but a little windy. The reception
was held indoors at the winery. ( Click
here for a map ).

The wedding colors were royal blue, silver and white. The bride
wore a white strapless gown from A Heart's
Desire in Paso Robles. The groom and his groomsmen wore black tuxedos
from Ronnie's
Tuxedo in San Luis Obispo. The bridesmaids wore royal
blue semiformal gowns created with love by Darcy's aunt, Doranna
Morris.

The colors were also reflected in the flowers created by Rosemary
Dickson by using white roses and blue delphiniums, due to their
lack of scent (allergies) and other wine related greenery. Mary
Lou Johnson did the calligraphy signs on the tables. Salon 544's
Cheri Eastwood did the bride's hair and Allison Thompson did the
makeup. The salon also provided services for the bridesmaids and
mother-of-the bride.

The photography was taken by Jeff and Christine Greene of Image
West Photography. There was live music at the ceremony provided
by Pete Ryan's ensemble with Pete on flute. American
Mobile Sound provided a disc jockey for the reception. The catering
was provided by Jill and Elaine of Popolo
Rotisserie Cafe. The cake was made with love by Chris' grandmother,
Arlene Ryan ("Grams"). And a special thanks to Gary Elms
of Body and Sole, who gave me a badly needed pre-wedding massage.

It was a beautiful wedding. Chris and I enjoyed ourselves immensely
and we LOVED the food! We will be posting photos of the wedding
and honeymoon, as we can. Please feel free to contact
us at any time!

PS. If you have any photos from the wedding that you would like
to share, please feel free to email me at: bride@thexgrid.net
and I can give you ftp access (you can also mail them to us) and
we will add them to our collection. If any shots were taken of the
bouquet toss, it would be greatly appreciated if you could send
those our way.
