Aloha Everyone, We're getting Married!


You’re invited to celebrate with us!  We hope to see you there!

We are having a small private ceremony in an old growth redwood forest in northern California on June 1st 2016.  We love parties and our family and friends so we will be holding two celebration events following the ceremony, one in California and one in Maryland.  The west coast reception will be held on Friday, June 3rd at the Mill Valley Outdoor Art Club hosted by Doug and Lisa Canepa.  The east coast reception will be held on Friday August 5th at Ostertag Vista hosted by Dennis and Kathy Bridges.  Everyone is invited to attend both parties or come to the celebration that better fits your location and life schedule.  Both of these events will be fun and (dressy) casual. 

West Coast Party      
The celebration on the west coast will be held in Eugene’s hometown of Mill Valley in the Bay Area.  If you are traveling to California, the San Francisco Airport and the Oakland Airport are close and serviced by many different airlines.  There are a few options for places to stay in the area.  The Holiday Inn Express Mill Valley is about 10 minutes from the venue.  The phone number is 1-800 HOLIDAY; when you call to make your reservation mention that you are a part of the Canepa Wedding group to receive a discount promo code.  Another option in Mill Valley is the Mill Valley Inn.  Please feel free to call us if you need help deciding on where to stay.  

East Coast Party
The celebration on the east coast will be held near Katy’s hometown outside of Frederick, Maryland.  If you are traveling to this event either the Baltimore/Washington Airport or Dulles/Washington D.C. airport are both 45 minutes away and serviced by many airlines.  We have a block of rooms reserved at the Frederick Courtyard Marriott.  Please call 800-257-3000 or 301-631-9030 to make your reservation and let them know you are with the Bridges-Canepa wedding party.  You can click the link to make your reservation.  Book your group rate for Bridges Canepa Wedding .  We will also be providing a shuttle service to and from this hotel to Ostertag Vista for the party.  
  
Our Life Plan and our Honeymoon 
We are starting a new chapter, not only are we getting hitched, but we are also leaving Hawaii and moving to the mainland.  This new life will look very different than our tree house life in paradise.  As many of you know we LOVE to travel and like to go on extended adventures.  We are traveling to Peru for a six week honeymoon in between the wedding celebrations.  After the celebration in Maryland, in August we will start our new life in Marin County.  We don't know what our new life will look like and where we will be living.  Because of our situation we aren’t sure what to do about a registry and the gift-giving aspect of getting married.  So, if you are in the gift giving spirit may we suggest gift cards to places that have things that will eventually fill a home once we get a home and decide what that home will need.  If you like hearing about our travel journeys and want to contribute to our adventure and follow our blog while we are gone you may want to donate to our honeymoon fund.   We will be going on an Amazon Expedition for 10 days, taking some Spanish classes, visiting Machu Picchu, going backpacking, and renting surfboards to find some Peruvian waves.  Please give us your email so we can include you in our blog posts. You can bring it to the party, email us, or send it in the mail.
