Hello family and friends! We hope you will join us in celebrating our wedding on May 7, 2011 in beautiful Borrego Springs, California.
Our ceremony and reception will be held outside at Vida Descansada, a private residence. We encourage you to come a few days early to explore in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, which surrounds our peaceful town.
Please come back often, as we will be adding details to the site regularly. We look forward to celebrating with you!

Weather & Attire
You'll get to enjoy lovely, sunny days and star filled nights during your visit. The desert can be pretty warm in May, with exceptionally nice mornings and evenings. High temps are typically between 85-95 degrees and nights around 60-70 degrees. If you have concerns about the heat, we recommend exploring in the morning or evening and lounging in a pool throughout the middle of the day. :)
Directions & Map
For those of you flying in, the two closest airports are San Diego (2 hrs) and Palm Springs (1.5 hrs). Not to worry...the desert sites are well worth the trip. Please don't hesitate to call us with questions.

Attire is desert casual, with an emphasis on comfort and dance-ability. Much of the celebration will take place on grass and gravel. Please keep this in mind as you decide what shoes to wear (a.k.a stiletto heels not recommended).
