We've Made a Decision...

After a year of being engaged and two and a half years of being together we finally decided on a place and a date. Save the date folks- Sunday, Sept 12, 2010! We have traveled all over the Bay Area to find a place that captures the beauty and complexity of Sheena Johnson and Mari Kubota. We have decided on a sunset beach ceremony on the breathtaking Sonoma Coast then a quaint reception in the beach town (which is really a river-beach) of Monte Rio, CA. We are excited to invite family and friends to spend a memorable weekend with us to celebrate our commitment to each other and our commitment to creating a better world.

This journey has been long... we have gone to every beach in the Bay Area, researched every housing option along the coast, eaten at several good and a couple of bad restaurants, gone on many chilly, windy and arduous hikes to find the perfect ceremony site and day trip adventures.

During our Ceremony Weekend we want to celebrate our differences and shared loves. We are planning Italian, Japanese and Soul Food eating experiences for everyone, so come hungry. Mari loves the redwoods and hiking, and generally being in nature. Sheena loves sitting, tv, cozy fires and laying on the beach. The Russian River has the best of both worlds with comfy fire places and hot tub homes and towering Redwoods to explore. One thing we both have in common is that we are hella BOUGIE. Thats why we are not too far from a Ceder Bath House and several wineries. Doesn't this weekend sound exciting?

We will be heading back to Oakland tomorrow and planning to send out "Save the Dates" in Jan 2010! More to come....love, Sheena & Mari
