Justin and I had a wonderful extended weekend in Santa Rosa and Kenwood. Our friends Courtney and Aaron were married on Saturday at the Wagners' vineyard; we were so touched to be part of their beautiful ceremony, I as a Bridesmaid, and Justin as a Reader.

On Thursday afternoon, we headed up to Santa Rosa for the wedding rehearsal. After the rehearsal, Aaron's father and stepmother hosted a delicious dinner at the Glen Ellen Inn. We then headed to Kenwood, and spent the night at the Kwasneski's (Kirsten's Mom's house). Friday morning, Kirsten and I treated ourselves to pedicures and then stopped by the wedding site to help Courtney prepare table decorations. In the late afternoon, we were invited to a vineyard picnic at the Wagner's (Courtney's folks) house. After dinner, we headed back to Kenwood and spent time with Kirsten's family.

Our day started bright and early on the day of the wedding. The girls were at the salon by 9 o'clock, to get our hair done, and headed to the Wagner's around 1:30 PM to do make-up and get dressed. The wedding began at 4 o'clock. Courtney looked gorgeous, it was so exciting to share this day with her! As I said before, the ceremony was beautiful and then the reception was tons o' fun! Justin and I had a great time visiting and laughing with friends, eating delicious food, drinking good wine, and dancing up a storm.

On Sunday, we returned home to meet my folks and Alanna. Thanks Mom and Dad for watching Miss. A! I know she had a terrific visit with you.
