Love is Love

The Marin Humane Society is known for making lifelong matches, typically between people and pets, however, there are many times where people have found their people there as well and that's exactly what happened for us. Working for MHS was the tie that bonded Sam and Kristen together, gave them lifelong friends and cemented their foundation in life and love. Fast forward ten years later and Kristen knew that it was time for the grand gesture and she crafted a plan for a very special proposal. Sam had no idea that when they went to Gloria Ferrer winery that day for a glass of bubbles, there would be a wine cave, a ring, and over a dozen of their family and friends. Once they arrived at the winery, they were greeted by their favorite staff member, Jessi, who was instrumental in executing Kristen's plan. Jessi craftily found a way to lure Sam away while Kristen dashed down the stairs to the cave where wine barrels were uplit along the arched walls and upright barrels were set with tall white flowers, plus a bucket of Gloria's finest sparkling wine, and two crystal flutes from their collection. Perched above the cave on the overlook platform, their family and friends waited while Kristen gave them a very nervous thumbs up that she was ready. Walking into the cave along a candlelit pathway, Sam came upon the scene and gasped. Kristen bent down on one knee, expressed her wish to spend the rest of her life with Sam, pulled a diamond ring from her pocket, then asked the all important question: "Samantha Pascoe, will you marry me?" She said yes. Cheers erupted above and behind the couple as Sam turned with shock and surprise to see everyone who was there to witness their moment. Jessi then expertly popped the bubbly to happy tears and joyous laughter throughout the cave. Sam and Kristen are so excited to share their story and their special day with you. They welcome the honor of your presence on July 28th, 2018 at their beloved Casitas Estate in Arroyo Grande.
