        A lot of people have asked us "Why so early?" "Why are you doing the wedding on a friday?" "That's pretty early". Well, The reason we picked such an early time is because we decide to go on a road trip right after the ceremony is over. We plan to have the car fully packed and ready and right after we say "I Do" We'll driving into the sunset for our honeymoon.

Our plan is this....Seattle has always been a dream of Windy's. She's always wanted to go there. So we  planned out a road trip up the Pacific Coast and across 3 states.

     Our first stop of the trip is in Wheeler, Or. Never heard of it? Me either but we booked a room
at the Old Wheeler Hotel. Its located right on the Oregon coast line on the 101 Freeway. We found this hotel through a Living Social deal which includes a 2 nights stay, a bottle of champange, and a box of chocolate. This screams romance and honeymoon.

The town of Wheeler has a population of about 400 people. That's It! I read reviews on TripAdvisor that mostly couples stay in this hotel because of its seclusion from the outside world and for its romantic atmosphere.

     Our next stop on this road trip will be Portland, Or. Where we will stay with our good friend (my best man) Matt. After that we make our way up to Seattle. We'll enjoy what the city has to offer then we say "Au revoir" and make our way down the pacific coast highway. Taking the scenic route all the way home.

So now you know why we decided on such an early wedding. Oh and if your wondering what to get us for our wedding present? How about helping us with our trip! At the wedding we'll have a white envelope card station. Windy's going to decorate a small vintage suit case we have for this (which will probably be blogged about in the coming days). We really don't need anything for our place which is why we didn't register. So if your thinking of what to get us, How about contributing to our trip in anyway you can. You can bring with you a white envelope and make our honeymoon even better. Or how about a gift that we can use during our trip? (gas card, restaurant gift card, emergency ponchos, your AAA card ;) And of course we love getting stuff people make.

We started receiving RSVP's back and now it's started to get exciting. The time is fast approaching and we couldn't be more happier then we are now. And to have some of our close friends and family be there to see us marry and to send us off on our first adventure as a married couple, means more to us then you can ever imagine.
