I had the very special honor of getting to plan and coordinate my parents’ vow renewal! My mom and dad have been married for 26.2 years—a “marathon of marriage” (I know, they’re adorable). In September of 2017, they moved from the Sacramento area to the beautiful Cambria coast (to be closer to me, of course). Every day, they would take their two dogs for a walk on the bluff right by their house, and it quickly became one of their favorite places. They wanted to renew their vows on this bluff with their closest friends and family, and they wanted the reception to follow up on the roof of their house. Getting to plan this vow renewal with my mom was so much fun and so special (since I wasn’t alive yet for their first wedding). After convincing my dad that we needed professional vendors, my mom and I created a beautiful, intimate vow renewal. In Cambria, September normally has some of the best weather out of the entire year, so we were sure we would be in the clear… WRONG. The day before the vow renewal was sunny and gorgeous, with just a light breeze. The day of the vow renewal, Cambria had record-high winds. As the day went on, the wind only picked up more and more, and by the time the ceremony (and ceremony photos) came about, we were sufficiently wind-blasted and freezing cold. Yet somehow, our Photographer, Amber, was still able to capture stunning photos (I’m convinced she’s some sort of magician). Although the reception up on the roof was windy, cold, and wet, it was such a fun experience that we will never forget. The love that my parents have for each other is what dreams are made of, and I’ve been so grateful to have such amazing role models my whole life. I’m looking forward to planning their 50th anniversary vow renewal!
