Our Wedding

Morgan and Bryce met in October 2015 at Sunol Ridge Bar in Walnut Creek, CA. This happened to be Morgan's second day living in California after she moved from Boston, MA. Morgan was quite homesick that night, and had little interest in going out. Bryce was tired from the day and also had to be convinced to go out for drinks. Two friends separately convinced them to come out, coincidently introduced them at a local hangout, and ensured a memorable Friday night (thanks Jen and Clif!). Out of all of the bars in the area, they ended up meeting at the same bar on a night that neither one wanted to go out- talk about fate! The next day, Bryce invited Morgan to enjoy oyster shucking on the beach. Despite her phone dying mid-day, and her friends back in Boston thinking that she was being kidnapped, they had a great day eating oysters, drinking wine, and seeing the Golden Gate Bridge for the first time. They spent the next 6 years making the best memories. In January, Morgan and Bryce had a weekend day planned to do their favorite activity - oyster shucking! After they picked up the oysters, Bryce decided to drive to the beach that they went to on their first date (and wore the same shirt he had on the night they met) where he then proposed to Morgan. It was a cloudy coastal day, but right after Bryce proposed, the clouds opened up to the most gorgeous sunset. After many experiences tasting California wines together, they have decided they must have their wedding at one of California's historic wineries. They hope you all get to enjoy the sights and scenes that make this landscape special to them. They're so excited to start this next part of their lives together and cannot wait to celebrate with you in April in wine country!
