Our Wedding

In 2013 our paths crossed when we were both asked to do a workshop in Big Bear,&nbsp;CA with The Young Americans. We ended up being assigned to the same car that went up and back down&nbsp;the mountain.&nbsp; Sam, being typical Sam, was hungry on the ride up&nbsp;and then cold once she&nbsp;arrived in Big bear ... and Jimmy, being typical Jimmy, was prepared with extra food&nbsp;and an&nbsp;extra sweater... Somewhere between a burrito and a spare&nbsp;sweater is where it all started.


Over the past four (nearly five) years,&nbsp;with The Young Americans and Norwegian Cruise Lines,&nbsp;we've&nbsp;traveled around the world (15 countries with each other).&nbsp; &nbsp;Japan is our favorite place we've traveled to.






As most of you know, our relationship had a few bumps in the road in terms of being in a "&nbsp;Cross-Border Relationship." After years of traveling between Canada and the US, the time was right and Jimmy popped the question.&nbsp; He asked me at our favorite place to explore, The Corona Del Mar Tide Pools.&nbsp;&nbsp;






We are SO excited for all of friends and family from around the world be in the same place and celebrate the day with us!

Chat with winemakers in tranquil tasting rooms, learn about the microclimates in this renowned AVA, and enjoy a scrumptious lunch in a scenic hilltop setting with views of the surrounding countryside.
Don't worry about driving on this all-encompassing excursion. Meet up with your guide and wine enthusiast in downtown San Diego, hop aboard comfortable transportation, and watch the landscape shift from bustling urban center to rolling, farm-flecked hills. Chat about your favorite styles as you ride and then reach your first vineyard of the day.
While stops vary based on season and availability, you might open bottles of bold reds at Leoness Cellars, sample crisp whites at Falkner Winery, or explore innovative blends at Wilson Creek. Chat with winemakers about Temecula Valley's unique terroir, learn what sets Southern California wines apart from their European counterparts, and get tips on the best methods for serving and sampling a range of varietals.
In the afternoon, pull up a seat at an outdoor lunch spot and tuck into a delicious lunch while you take in sweeping views of the vineyard-carpeted valley below. Consider purchasing a few bottles to take home and then return to San Diego in the evening.

Your carriage awaits at the edge of town for a journey into the rural communities and open roads of southern Riverside County. Sit back and enjoy the ride as the good-tempered draft horses pull you along on a journey that recalls the wineries' earliest days.
The route carries you to venerable establishments like the South Coast Winery Resort and Spa, Ponte Winery, Lorimar Winery, and Weins Family Cellars, with close to an hour of free time to explore each place. You can relax in the gardens, admire the sights, and try out a flight of outstanding wines at each stop to make the most out of your time in the valley.

Arrive at your first winery stop, the friendly Leoness Cellars. This family-owned vineyard is renowned for its tasty varietals like chardonnay, merlot, and cabernet sauvignon. Quench your thirst here with up to 6 tastings.
Next, visit the Cougar Vineyard and Winery, operated by Rick and Jennifer Buffington, a multi-award winning winemaking couple based in the valley. Stroll through the charming area before sitting down to an extensive tasting in the private barrel room. Try up to 9 different wines produced from vineyards around Temecula.
Last but not least is a stop at the Wilson Creek Winery. Enjoy a tour of this 20-acre (8-ha) vineyard and winery located at the end of the winding Rancho California Road.
