About Us We were married September 8, 2007 at Kruger's Farm on Sauvie Island. We had an extraordinary day celebrating with 150 of our family and friends. We had a celebration brunch at our house the next morning and the day after that took off for 10 days on a road trip down HWY-101 to San Francisco, Napa Valley, Crater Lake, Ashland & Mendocino. Best 3 weeks ever.About UsUs

The zipper broke on my dress, but the girls and my mom were so calm and
fixed it up no problem with a safety pin - averted near disaster.
