Welcome to our wedding website! Since so many of you will be joining the ceremony from out of state, we figured this would be the most efficient and useful way to communicate all the little details.

A few useful notes:

• Date: The ceremony and reception will be held on October 27, 2012.
• Ceremony: To be held around 12 PM at Bog Springs in Madera Canyon, Arizona. Please arrive at the Madera Trailhead Picnic Area by 10 AM so you have enough time to catch the "shuttle" back to Kent Springs Cabin and to hike into Bog Springs from the cabin. You'll be hiking at a moderate grade about 1.7 miles to the ceremony location, and you'll have a Trailmaster to help. :)
• Reception: To be held around 2 PM at Kent Springs Cabin in Madera Canyon, Arizona.
• Attire: Please feel free to wear casual, comfortable hiking clothes throughout the ceremony and reception. The wedding party will be dressed formally (except for our shoes, which will be hiking boots!), but we will also be carrying those formal clothes into Bog Springs and changing there.
• Expected weather: The temperature is likely to be in the high 70s at midday, then will drop to the 50s near and after sunset, which will be about 6PM. Tucsonans, you'll probably want to bring a jacket!

Thank you!
