Welcome to Duffie and Rachel's Wedding Website!

Our wedding will take place on
Saturday, the 24th of September 2005
at 1 o'clock in the afternoon
at the home of Angela Vernon in Bolinas, CA



     Below, you will find links to maps and directions, helpful hints about the weather in Bolinas and what to wear as a result of the weather, registry information and any other useful bits we could think of. 

Special requests:

    While it is possible to RSVP via the "Contact us" link, it is much preferred that you send back the little RSVP card that arrived with your invitation.

    We respectfully request that sitters be found for the kids.


Weather and Clothing


Bolinas is a quirky coastal town, just north of the Golden Gate Bridge.  Because of it's location between a lagoon and the Pacific Ocean, the weather can change several times in the space of a few hours.  September has traditionally given us some of the best coastal weather, but there is no knowing for certain what the fates hold in store for our special day.  We therefore advise all of our guests to come prepared for sun, fog, wind, and even - it's possible! - rain and drizzle.  It should also be noted that even in the event of a clear and sunny day, the evening will likely bring fog and wind.

Useful items to have include:
*    Sunscreen
*    Hat
*    Sweater/Windbreaker
*    Warm Coat
*    Umbrella

A note about shoes:
We plan on having a solid area for dancing at the reception, but aside from that, Angela's lovely garden features terrain that is well kept, but grassy.  There is also a gravel driveway.  Please choose your shoes accordingly.  In short, only wear stilettos if you wish to assist Angela in aerating her lawns or hunting gophers.


Fun Extras!

We encourage our guests to bring:
*    Cameras! (the more photos, the better)
*    Bubbles! (for use after the ceremony and whenever the mood hits)
*    Musical Instruments! (We can make time for anyone who wishes to play and who knows? Enough of you rock that we may get an impromptu jam-band together)

Accommodations

Earlier this summer, some friends of ours got married at Angela's, and did some research into local accommodations for out-of-town guests.  Below, we have reprinted their list of local establishments (mostly inns and B&Bs) although, in their clever words "we can't personally vouch for the softness of the beds or the freshness of the cantaloupe".
