Celebrating: The Merkels!

We recommend you stay in beautiful San Luis Obispo on Monterey Street. Willow and Oak Estate is out in the middle of nowhere, so we have bus transportation that will be leaving from Quality Inn and Suites. The first round of busses will depart at 3:00 and the second round of busses will depart at 4:15. We cannot wait to celebrate with you, after all, we have been waiting OVER A YEAR!

It all began winter quarter of 2014. Gianna and Zach had fruit science class together, a very small class that spent most of its time out at the Cal Poly Vineyard. On the first day of class, Gianna noticed a tall, handsome boy starting to walk back to campus from the vineyard. This is about a two mile walk, so she decided offered him a ride back to campus. Quickly realizing they had quite a few mutual friends, an affinity to country music and two for ones at bulls, their relationship blossomed. They tried to keep it casual, with Gianna graduating soon. However, they couldn't deny their connection, finding any excuse to spend time together. Countless Cowgirl Cafe breakfasts, all nighters finishing projects at the library, 2 am banana splits at Denny's, and drives along Perfumo Canynon in the camo jeep, it didn't take Gianna or Zach long to realize they had something special. A forever kind of special.
