la petite fille d'honneur

meet zara. flower girl. distinguished niece. little sister of ilan and cas. a curious, perceptive, and nurturing little lady we think she will probably go on to do great work for humanity, though we'd settle for her being the 3rd woman president. chris suspects her of being a tiny wizard with great powers. sarah is excited to have her as part of her bridal party. 

meet dana

Meet Dana. We are so very excited to announce that Dana will be the minister at our wedding! Dana came into our lives when she married Sarah's high school friend & fellow OM participant Sean. We attended their wedding almost 6 years ago on the weekend of the last big new york city black-out. More recently Sean & Dana made a trip to our foggy city of San Francisco, and we had a fantastic time getting reacquainted. It also gave us a chance to talk to Dana about all the amazing work she does for her church and she is undoubtedly one of the most inspiring people we know. Liberal + Activist + Minister = Awesome.

We think you'll agree so we are including a link to her church where you can read (and watch) some of her sermons. 

Hancock United Church of Christ

Thanks Dana!

Accommodations Update

I spoke to Hotel Jolie and they offered me a group rate of $159/night + tax
which is not the best price you can find online for that hotel.
So if you are considering that hotel I'd advise you to get your tickets from:
www.booking.com
www.hotel.com
or use www.kayak.com (which searches all sites for the best rate)

For our August trip to new york, we used www.booking.com (which we found through the Kayak website) and booked a room for $154/night after tax.

not too shabby

Accommodations, Part 2

This option is for the more adventurous at heart.

2. Renting A Loft

You can look into this at: AirBandB

If you use this search website, be sure to specify the dates, "entire place" and "real bed".
Then scroll though the listings and search for Williamsburg.

Here are some examples of listings I found:
$109/night Williamsburg


$395/night Williamsburg


Use the website to contact the apartment owners with questions, read reviews, and be sure to go over the rental agreements & security deposits. Each place is unique in it's arrangement.
