On 10.12.2025, we had a small ceremony in Mckenzie Bridge, Oregon. In 2026, we’re inviting you to join us in celebrating our marriage in Coloma, California on the South Fork American River. We’ll be gathering on 10.10.2026 at Henningsen Lotus Park.

We love to be outside, so we’ll be camping in the area for the days surrounding the event. You’re welcome to join us at American River Resort. Accommodations range from tent sites, RV sites, riverfront tent-cabins, and more traditional hard-walled cabins. If you’d prefer, there are local hotel and short-term rental options, or just come join us for the day. See detailed options below.
