Mark Sandberg & Kathy Pieratt
Location: Sutter Creek, CA
A True Gift From God - A Match Made In Heaven. The first time Mark walked into my office, I was instantly enamored. I made it VERY clear to everyone in the office that he was to be 'directed' to me whenever he came in. He was having a problem with a liquor store, and I, of course, made every effort to 'help'. In the months that followed, we occasionally met for coffee to discuss 'work issues' and did a poor job of pretending we weren't interested in one another. On a beautiful spring day, we met for a banana split, and I was smitten. On a cold winter night, Mark proposed over banana splits, with a fire crackling in the background. He is proof that good things are worth waiting for and God is watching over us.
Forty acres of beautiful blue oaks, manzanita and aromatic pine creates the perfect setting and sets the tone for our day. Rustic elegance... a simple hilltop ceremony, a sunset reception and an evening of dancing under a blanket of stars...

My Aunt and Unlce will host our wedding and reception at their home in Sutter Creek, a place filled with fond memories for our family. It is the perfect place to bring friends and family together to celebrate our union as husband and wife.

We hope you make a relaxing weekend out of it. We look forward to sharing our day with you.

As the invitation suggested, please come in comfortable attire, as the ceremony and recption will be out side. Imagine red dirt, pine needles and BBQ... not a day to dress fancy. So many people have asked for suggestions, so here goes: Cute capri's and a top or a simple sun dress and simple sandals for the ladies and casual dockers or docker shorts for the gents. There will be a D.J. until 11 pm, so wear your boogie shoes!
We will spend our first days as husband and wife aboard the Mariner of the Seas in the Western Caribbean, with ports of call in Jamaica, Grand Caymen and Cozumel. We had so much fun creating our honeymoon registry, with exciting excursions like swimming with dolphins, scuba diving, snorkeling and deep sea fishing. Of course, we also can't wait to get pampered with a hot stone couples massage, lounge around the pool sipping fruity umbrella drinks and indulge our appetites with as many calories as we can consume.
We are so blessed to be surrounded and supported by our loving families and wonderful friends. We want to thank you for joining us in our journey. We had a great time choosing our registry items as we planned our perfect vacation.
