When I drafted our first guest list in December, the total head count (rounding up) was 150 people. Mr. Espresso and I both come from very large families, so a big wedding was a given. But the week before we did our invitations, the guest list suddenly jumped to 244. Say what?! Our ceremony only has room for 150 (if that)… how the heck would we fit 244! So after a lot of stress, a crying breakdown in the kitchen, and some sweet words and hugs from Mr. E (who didn’t even know what was going on or why I was stressed until my kitchen episode)- I was back in the game.
Everybody is also RSVP’ing “Yes”, but instead of fretting (anymore) over who will get a seat and who will be standing in the cheering marathon line before I even get to the aisle, I’m taking a step back. This is a blessing. Repeat. This is a blessing.
Our friends and family want to be their to celebrate with us; and we’re dang lucky to have them!
So come on in. Just over this bridge we’re getting married.

Just round the bend a little more…

And we’re here! Honestly, I love this spot. It’s intimate, private, totally secluded from our reception, and it smells like trees. ![]()

Mr. Espresso and I will exchange our vows underneath or on the steps of the gazebo (without the patio set). I’ll be asking you soon for decorating tips so start thinking, ![]()

And to the side, the view of our reception is blocked by the mountain vegetation…
But there will be a serious celebration waiting on the other side. It’s almost here!!!
