Marriage Vow

Let our feelings for each other continue without diminishing.  Only when mountains are leveled to basins, when ocean waters run dry, when winter is ripped with thunders, when the summer sky rains snow, and heaven and earth are smashed together, shall we ever dare to be parted.

We were married on St Patrick's Day in 1985. My husband planned

the entire wedding, as I was still living in South Africa up until a

month prior to our wedding. The idea of planning a wedding all

alone would scare the best of men, but not Brian. He took the

love of travel that we both had coursing through our veins, and

applied it to our wedding plans.  Check out our informal wedding

invitation - written by my mother-in-law.  We did have have a

formal invitation too.

Our wedding day was an all day event. We picked our guests up in

Glendale, California at 6am by motor coach and traveled up the California

coast to a small Danish town called Solvang. We had a breakfast/brunch

at the beautiful Nojoqui Falls.

          From there we traveled further up the coast to

the small town of Harmony. This is a quaint little artsy town

located close to Cambria and San Luis Obispo. It had at the time

a population of 18 people. If you ever find yourself in the vicinity

of this town, it is well worth a visit.

          After we were married, we

headed to Moonstone Beach for a champagne toast. Unbeknownst to

me, my husband had arranged for a bagpipe player to surprise

me at the beach.

    It was an unforgettable sight. We held our

wedding reception at the famous Madonna Inn in San Luis Obispo.

All in all, it was one of the most beautiful days of my life, and I

have my husband to thank for that.

Harmony is a magical little town set in the beautiful

countryside of California's Central Coast.  Cattlegrazed

hills, whispering eucalyptus trees, and a nearby trickling

stream make it plain that this one time dairy town could

not have been blessed with a better name.  Harmony is

the perfect place for a wedding.

A landmark on California’s Central Coast for over forty years! Marvel

at the imaginative interior design and grand architecture of the world

renowned Madonna Inn. Each of the Inn’s 109 rooms is uniquely

decorated with a special theme and color scheme, no two alike!

We stayed in the "CaveMan Room"
