Join us here as we wed

In this love story, the seeds were planted several years before. Mathew came to this house (their now home) for a hoedown house party, and had a vivid vision that he would have a baby in that house. A couple years later, a friend brings him to a house available for rent in Topanga that she thinks he'll love, and it's THIS house. He moves in and another two years later he's looking for a roommate, gets connected with Colleen, they discuss their husky and labrador children, and she comes to see the place and for the pups to meet. As she walked across the first bridge she knew like never before that she was home, like she was returning to home from a long time away. As she walked across the second bridge and caught Mathew's eyes for the first time, up on the ledge with his niece Sage, she knew he was her husband...didn't understand it, but she just knew it in every cell. Over the next several days, a stream of synchronicities kept pulling Mathew and Colleen together, running into eachother all over town, and it was clear that there was something magical 'and strange' happening here. Two weeks later Colleen moved into the loft as a roommate. They were the best roommates, instant friends and many moments feeling like de ja vu. Three months later, on a camping trip with the pups to Ojai, they confessed their love unfolding for eachother, and knew it was that lifetime kind of love. Sometimes the soul knows well before the heart or head understand, and when we listen, it's so very right. The story of the bumped up wedding date...our beloved Bastian, has been diagnosed with an aggressive cancer, which doesn't offer much time, and because he's so very dear to us, we've moved our wedding up a year so that he can be a part of this very special day and celebration of love and life. Thankyou all for understanding the rush and the organic simplicity of it all, and we hope you all hold this day in your hearts as a very memorable remembering to follow that golden thread of magic.
