As we made our way to Napa, JD sounded like a skipping CD. LookAtThat…LookAtThat…LookAtThat! It was the first time we've visited this part of Northern California and to say we were impressed would be an understatement. The acres of vineyards, the wineries, the large stretch of monochromatic foliage. Everything. Was breathtaking.

What made extra everything beautiful was the fact that we were visiting as wedding guests. Together along with about 75 other people, we celebrated Jeff Norwood and Jessica Claire's wedding, and the day could not be more perfect. Just before the ceremony began, JD leaned over and said, I love weddings. Just like that. With a period, not an exclamation point. He grabbed my hand and as Jess walked down the aisle, Jeff cried big, happy tears.

I can't wait to see the official wedding pictures (taken by the ever fab Jose Villa) as I know they'll capture the opulence of the perfect day. And because every post is better with a photo, here's one of me and JD. I asked/made him pull to the side of the road for a tacky tourist moment. Don't hate.
