Very Important Hotel Information - Please read!

If you are planning on staying at Cache Creek Casino and Resort for our wedding on June 19th, and would like to receive the group rate at 210.00 you need to make your reservation no later than May 27th. After that date the rooms are thrown back into mix and while there will be plenty of space left you will stuck paying full price, which runs around 300.00. Please call 1.888.772.2243 to make a reservation, ask for the Seth Cullen/Gabrielle Harris wedding room block.

We are still waiting on some invitations but those of you waiting have gotten an email from either Seth or I. Again, apologies for the lateness but that is the way life goes! The date draws closer and with all this rain, we might still see some green in those hills!

Invitations are in the mail....for most of you

I guess I'm just going to have to let it go. We are not going to get through this without some errors, mistakes and slip-ups. Well, here is the first one, it's sort of big but not devastating. I'm really trying to keep my focus in perspective, it can and may get a lot worse! We received our invites, designed just for us by a good friend and they are fantastic! Perfect in every way, just what we wanted. Only problem is.....as I was getting through the list of peeps I realized quite soon that we had nowhere near enough. We were like 30 short. Not good. I freaked out accordingly, called my good friend who put an order in to her printer ASAP and now I've sent out almost all the ones I do have and am waiting for the others. SO!!!! What this means is, if you haven't gotten in invitation yet, please be patient, it will arrive, promise! The RSVP date may be a little tight but I have a feeling that most of you know whether or not you will be able to attend at this point. I am a little nervous because I'd like to have a number or an idea of a number but that is my own fault, no one else's. Having a baby and having to take care of a household has left me a little spacey on other items, like counting the correct number of wedding invitations. Again, I can only hope this is the biggest error of the whole thing but I'm guessing other things will go wrong. Which is why I have to let it go.

Using our wedding as an excuse to vacation? Here are some fun ideas!

The Bay Area, especially San Francisco, is one of the most highly traveled locations in the United States. Beautiful landscape, a cultural hub, music and food galore, it is truly paradise. Here are some fun ideas and popular spots in and around the city for those wanting to make a real vacation out of their trip.

It's baseball season! The The Giant's are looking good and even if you aren't a fan, the stadium is amazing and boasts excellents views wherever one is sitting, including the bleachers.

The SF MOMA is a wonderful musuem and even if there isn't a special exhibit, it's worth a trip

The SF Asian Art Museum is one of the largest musuems in the Western World devoted to Asian Art

Alcatraz Island is full of tourists but the prison and the view of the Golden Gate and the city are worth the effort

If giant redwoods are your thing, try your hardest to get to Muir Woods

No DUI's at our wedding....check out the shuttle schedule!

As much as Seth and I enjoy a good party, we also believe in being safe and responsible. To accommodate both these aspects we have arranged for a shuttle service to ferry you, our fun lovin' guests, to and from Cache Creek and Taber Ranch. While it is only a few miles in between the two locations that is all is can take for a mistake to happen. Our wedding is scheduled to begin at 5:30pm, with cocktails beginning at 4:45.

Okay, now pay attention, this is the REALLY IMPORTANT INFO:

The first shuttle will leave the casino at 4:30 and the VERY LAST SHUTTLE before the wedding will leave at 5:05.

One the return side:

One shuttle will arrive at 9:00pm and then from 10:15-11:15 the shuttles will keep coming until everyone has gotten home safely.

Please note, if you miss the shuttles it will be up to you to find a ride back to the casino. I do believe there are taxi's hovering but please remember that this is in the middle of the country, you really don't want to walk the 5 miles back to the hotel.

More Lodging Information:The Abbey House B&B

For anyone coming to the rehearsal dinner on Friday or anyone looking for an alternative location for lodging should check out The Abbey House Inn. Not only is it in my hometown but it happens to be directly across the street from my house....it's a REALLY small town, emphasis on small! There are 5 private rooms with either double or queen beds and one single bed in a loft. The most expensive room is $140.00, so it's more affordable than Cache Creek Casino. It is a 30 minute, easy drive to Taber Ranch from Winters. Just a heads up though, while all the rooms are available for both Friday and Saturday night at the current moment, it's first come, first serve. With a little place such as The Abbey House, I was unable to reserve or block any of the rooms. I'm excited for any/all of you to visit my wee bit of a hometown, it still strikes a chord after all these years of living in the Bay Area, home, after all, is where your heart is.

Invites Coming Soon

Today is April 19th....meaning there is only two months left before the wedding! Needless to say the little details are starting to pop up and add up, making us feel a little frantic. I have the utmost confidence, though, that everything will go smoothly and equal a terrific day. The invitations, one of a kind, are almost ready to be sent out and we are looking forward to forming the vision of who will be able to join us on our wedding day. See you in two short months!

love,

Seth, Gabby and Mozelle
