Ceremony will begin around 4:45pm.
Attire should be somewhat comfortable and outdoorsy, especially the footware. The site is mostly dirt and rocks, and not well-lit at night. Also, a very warm day is expected, but late night might drop into the 50s.
Finally, there will be a fire pit area, so please keep any cigarette smoking near the fire and properly dispose butts into it.
Can't wait to see you there in a week!!

Getting There
Try to carpool if possible, but there will be plenty of Parking at the site.
A note about the 241 Toll Road: most GPS directions will try to take you onto the Toll Road, even though it does not save you much time. Also, most of the payment booths only take quarters/change, so unless you are packing pocket-fulls of coins, you WILL get issued a ticket for about $60. In a rental car, that would be a huge mess.
The best ways to arrive Toll-free are:
From South (5 Fwy): exit Oso Pkwy and go right for 2.5 miles. Left onto Antonio Pkwy for 5.5 miles. Then right at Santa Margarita Pkwy, and then quick left onto Plano Trabuco Road. Then after 1/2 mile, the road cuts left onto Trabuco Canyon Road. After 3/4 mile you will wind down to a dirt clearing on your right, and that is Trabuco Creek Road. Continue on the DIRT road another 1/3 mile and we will be on the left!
From North (5 Fwy): exit Alicia Pkwy and go left for 5.3 miles. Turn Right at Santa Margarita Pkwy for 2.7 miles. Then road dead-ends into a shopping center and go left onto Plano Trabuco Road. After 1/2 mile, the road cuts left again onto Trabuco Canyon Road. After 3/4 mile you will wind down to a dirt clearing on your right, and that is Trabuco Creek Road. Continue on the DIRT road another 1/3 mile and we will be on the left!
From Hotel (Ayres Hotel & Spa): Right on Los Alisos, Right on Marguerite Pkwy, Right on El Toro Rd for 2 miles. Right at "Cook's Corner" bar/restaurant onto Live Oak Canyon Road. Continue on this road about 4 miles and look for a large dirt clearing on the left (before the road starts winding up a hill), and that is Trabuco Creek Road. Continue on the DIRT road another 1/3 mile and we will be on the left!

Invitations are out!
If your significant other/cuddle buddy isn't listed on your invite, never fear! Plus ones are definitely welcome to the big day.
We will be serving dinner at the reception, courtesy of Tamarindo Taco Truck (and don't worry, meat-heads and pescado lovers - there will be chicken and fish tacos for you!). Other munchies (of the delicious variety) will be served, so you won't go hungry in the desert!

Registry.
Many of you have already asked about our registry - since we share a small NYC apartment with the kitties, space is tight (we're talkin' 550 square feet, maaaaybe). And it's a well known fact that Emily has a problem with collecting things (what, did you miss our episode of 'Hoarders' or something?). IF you feel compelled to give us a gift, we ask that you consider donating to your choice of the following non-profit organizations instead. You get a tax break, a good feeling in your belly, and are possibly keeping Emily employed! Win-win!
New Yorkers for Parks (NY4P)
Homies Unidos
Planned Parenthood (PP)
The Peace and Justice Resource Center (PJRC)
Friends of Orange County's Homeless Pets (FOCHP)
