I'm balancing my love for the environment and my hubby-to-be's love for tradition to create our "green wedding in disguise." Our wedding will include local food and wine, antique touches and lots of love and laughter. When wedding planning isn't taking up my free time (and money) I love to read, cook, workout, watch baseball and travel! Follow along in my adventure as I attempt to plan an eco-friendly and socially responsible wedding (with eco-oblivious Mr. Pinot Noir).

Wedding day is just around the corner. In less than 24 hours Mr. PN and I will be husband and wife. Mr. PN arrived in San Francisco yesterday morning without any flight delays like I had feared. All of our family and friends are arriving and the final details are coming together.

We went to get our marriage license this morning at City Hall. I took the obligatory pictures but I can’t upload them to the hotel computer. I guess we will have to wait to share them until after we get back. San Francisco City Hall is amazing. When we arrived at 8am this morning we were the first appointment, but many more lovely couples quickly followed. What was really amazing was that the room was filled with half a dozen couples, and we were the only heterosexual couple - everyone else was gay and lesbian. I love San Francisco and California in general! Way to be inclusive guys! The excitement and love that filled that little room was incredible.

I want to thank everyone for all your kind words and support over the last few months. I have been so honored to share my wedding planning with you. I really don’t have the words to express my thanks. I’ll see you all on the other side - next time I’ll be a Mrs!
