Derek and I began planning right away for our big day. After tossing around Monterey and Napa, we ultimately decided on San Francisco. Things quickly fell into place and we had JoePhoto, Grace Cathedral and a reception at The Sir Francis Drake Hotel lined up in no time...the perfect "trifecta." My Mom came into town, helped me pick out my wedding gown, and it was smooth sailing.
In early April a little wrench or shall we say, monkey, was thrown into the plan. We found out I was pregnant on Good Friday and already almost 11 weeks along. Needless to say, we were very surprised. After the initial shock and disbelief wore off the excitement set in and we realized that our plans for a October 27th wedding were not going to be feasible. The little monkey's due date turned out to be November 7th, so we cancelled all exisiting plans and made new ones :) Plan B.
Derek and I were married by Father Steven Strane at 11am on Saturday, May 12th 2007 at Auberge du Soleil in Rutherford, CA (Napa Valley). It was a beautiful day that makes me smile everytime I think back. JoePhoto was there capturing the moments that we will cherish for a lifetime. Here are some of his images which truly speak for themselves....
