Sunday Farewell Brunch

Our Wedding

Back in 2010, bridesmaid Sarah "Skip" Rice invited Brie to go to her roommate's - boyfriends - roommate's 24th birthday party (who neither of them had ever met). As fate would have it, the birthday party was for Garrett! Brie and Garrett talked and really hit it off. After the party, Garrett and Brie started hanging out and finally made it "facebook official" on April 18, 2010 during a friends bar-golf themed birthday party (hence the outfits!).

How We Met

On July 1st 2016, we went to Aunt Win's house in Marshfield, MA to celebrate the 4th of July weekend. Garrett asked Brie to go take a picture with him on the beach. We headed down to the sand and that's where it all happened!! Garrett got on one knee (with the entire family watching!!) and proposed :)

Travel

There is so much to do in Southern California; if you are able, take a few extra days and check it out! Here are a few of our favorite places to go. Let us know if you need recommendations!

Welcome!

Temecula itself is a beautiful area and is referred to as Southern California's "Wine Country". Enjoy your time here by visiting a few of the 40+ wineries, shopping in old town or enjoy an early morning hot air balloon ride over the valley!We recommend the grapevine wine tours (gogrape.com)- so much fun!

Enjoy Temecula!

Come check out our "stomping grounds"! LA is about 1.5 - 2 hours from Temecula (depending on traffic) and has tons to do - Spend a day checking out Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Venice Beach, Hollywood, downtown LA, or visit Tommy Trojan at Garrett's Alma Mater, USC! We highly recommend the hop-on-hop-off bus; it takes you all around the city and is definitely the best way to see it. Maybe you'll even see a celebrity or two!

Los Angeles - Home sweet home!

San Diego is about 1 - 1.5 hours from Temecula (depending on traffic) and is an amazing city that we love to visit! Spend some time soaking up the sun at the beach or golf course, visiting the Gaslamp district, going on a brewery tour (San Diego has one of the largest craft beer scenes in the country!) or exploring the world-famous San Diego Zoo!

Sunny San Diego!

Yes... the OC is JUST like the TV show!! Orange County is about 1 - 1.5 hours from Temecula depending on traffic. Spend some time here and check out the beaches, golf courses, great dining... or go "meet the mouse" at Disneyland!
