Travel

﻿I put together a few places that would be a great opportunity to stop and see while you all are visiting! This is such a beautiful state that has so much to see and do. This is just a small sample of what this state has to offer.

Established in 1718 as Mission San Antonio de Valero, for over 300 years, the former mission now known as the Alamo has been a crossroads of history. Having existed under six flags of independent nations and served as a garrison for five different armies, the Alamo has a rich history and a heritage to inspire Texans and people worldwide. Although the Alamo is best known as the site of the 1836 Battle of the Alamo, all 300 years of Alamo history are vital to our story. Visitors can take a guided battlefield tour, rent a self-guided audio tour, walk through the historic Alamo Church and Long Barrack Museum, listen to a history talk given by an Alamo Interpreter, participate in living history demonstrations, watch a documentary on the history of the Alamo, and much more. Admission to the Alamo is free, but there is a charge for guided and audio tours.

The Alamo

With more than 8,500 animals on 56 acres, there's plenty of fun for the whole family. The San Antonio Zoo was first established with a donation from George W. Brackenridg in the 1800s. Two of the first cageless exhibits in the U.S. opened here in 1929, and the bird collection is one of the world's largest.

San Antonio Zoo

The Paseo del Rio is San Antonio's favorite attraction. You can shop, dine, lounge in a cafe, or stroll along and let the strumming mariachi soothe your spirit.

San Antonio River Walk

The Historic Market Square is a multi-business with most of the buildings managed by The City of San Antonio. Centro De Artes - Centro de Artes presents a full season of solo and group exhibitions and programming annually through an open call managed by the City of San Antonio, Department of Arts and Culture.

Historic Market Square

If it's in Texas, it must be bigger and better. That is the motto that architects followed with the Capitol Building in Austin. At one time, it was the tallest capitol building in the nation. Others might be taller now, but this is still a beautiful building that shows off many of the natural resources prevalent in Texas, such as limestone and landscapes.

Things to Do

The Venue

There are a few things about the venue that I have to share with everyone. A few ground rules were laid out within the contract that Jon and I were asked to share with our guests. While we want everyone to have fun during our celebration, we also want to make sure we respect the owner's wishes. With that being said, there are a few rules, but I promise they're not too crazy. First, all smoking is prohibited while inside the ranch house as well as the barn. This included cigarettes, cigars, and e-cigarettes. It's just asked that we clean up after ourselves. Secondly, while at the ceremony and reception, all alcoholic beverages need to be poured and served by the bartenders on the property. Any personal alcohol needs to be left at the ranch house. Lastly, all cups need to be emptied in the sink in the kitchen before being thrown away. The owner does not want us dumping leftover drinks or ice outside in the grass. I know that was a lot to read, but she really asked just those few things of us during our stay at the Harper Hill Ranch.

Dress Code

We can't wait to see everyone all dressed up and looking fine for our special day. With that being said, the dress code for the wedding is that we ask for semi-formal/dressy casual.

The Ranch House

So I'm sure you've all seen us mention the ranch house a few times on this page. We have rented the ranch house on the property from noon on Tuesday, July 13th to noon on Thursday, July 15th. It sleeps 26 people, but there is not enough room for everyone to have their own rooms. Some guests will have to share rooms, and I apologize for that. If sharing a room for a few nights is completely out of the question, we have added a Travel page that shows a few of the hotel options in the area near the venue. Not only that, there are tons of excellent options for Air BnB's. We want everyone to have a comfortable and enjoyable stay while they are here. If you choose to find your own lodging, you are still welcome to come and visit us at the ranch house and enjoy the pool and festivities. We plan to have a rehearsal dinner the night of July 13; however, the time and details are still being arranged.

Wedding Details

Hello all! We really hope you can make it to our special day. We do have one request for during the ceremony. We ask to have an unplugged ceremony and leave all cell phones and cameras off during the wedding. However, feel free to take as many photos and videos as you would like during the reception. We ask that if you take photos or videos to please use the hashtag #JonPutARingOnIt when you post them. We would love to see all the memories that were captured once the party is over. If you choose not to post on social media, we ask that you please forward any photos or videos to the following e-mail: kbforbis1996@gmail.com. We love you all so very much and want to see your beautiful faces sharing in our moment on our big day!
