Shannon and Mike did it right! What an amazing June wedding in such a unique venue, Leonard Lake Reserve, miles from San Francisco just outside of Ukiah. Close family and friends came from all over for a weekend celebration of their marriage. On Saturday, after a wonderful brunch and scavenger hunt, guests could choose to relax or participate in activities around the lake until the late afternoon ceremony. It was so refreshing to see so many parents playing with their young children and spending quality time together! The weather cooperated, and everyone embraced the “rustic vintage” theme. At one point, I thought that I had been transported to the set of Mad Men! Children were enjoying activities with two hired nannies for the evening, while the adults shared toasts on the patio, an awesome dinner buffet (thank you Oak & Smoke Catering!) complete with a dessert buffet of pies, cakes and cookies from Ukiah’s spectacular Schat’s Bakery and then danced the night away in the “Barn.” It was a very special day for a very special couple! I, for one, am sad that it’s over…
