What a whirlwind two weeks it has been! The wedding day came and went even faster than everyone warned us it would go. It was an unbelievable day, absolutely perfect in every way.
We kicked off the Young/Conover Wedding Weekend with the rehearsal dinner at Greg and Carol's house on Thursday. Long time family friends, Randy and Gail, were our servers for the evening and cooked up a delicious meal! Thank you Randy, Gail, Greg, and Carol for hosting such an amazing evening!

Friday, friends and family joined us at the Alexander Valley Hall to get it all set up for the big day. Everything came together better than anything I had imagined. It was truly a group effort and with everyone pitching in, the hall was set up and ready to go in no time.

Saturday morning my girls and I hung out and munched on goodies (thanks Megan!) while we got our hair done and ourselves ready for the wedding. Luke and his boys spent the morning wake boarding on Lake Sonoma enjoying glass water conditions and the lake all to themselves. We were blessed with perhaps the most beautiful day of 2011 fall - bright blue skies, not a cloud in sight, and 80 degree weather in Sonoma County.

It was a magical day, one that we will both remember fondly for the rest of our lives. Thank you to everyone who helped out - we absolutely could not have done it without you! And thank you to all our friends and family who came out to celebrate this special day! Words can not express the feeling Luke and I both had being announced for the first time as husband and wife and walking into a room filled with 160 of our closest family and friends all standing and cheering for us. That is a moment we will both remember and cherish forever.
When Sunday morning came, we were both exhausted. We spent the day opening some wedding gifts, cleaning up the house, and packing for our honeymoon. Monday morning at 5 am we were off to the San Francisco airport and headed towards Kauai!
Some call it a honeymoon, but we like to refer at ours as an adventuremoon! Aloha!
