Unregistered Travelers

"Certainly, travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent in the ideas of living"
--Miriam Beard


At this point in our journey together we are planning to travel and will not be registered.

Locations + More!

After a crazy adventure on the Ohio River and a summer of statistics, we are back in communication! We will be updating this blog with more fun and facts about our imminent, awesome festivities.

Our Wedding celebration with begin with a ceremony at

Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden
1500 North College Ave.
Claremont, CA 91711

5:00pm in the Container Garden

There are two entrances to the Garden. The events manager suggested we use the second gate nearer the far side of the parking lot (for those who are familiar this is the original gate). From there, it is a little walk through the garden (just a warning for those who plan to wear heels), but not to worry if you come in uncomfortable footwear or have difficulty walking, there will be a tram that will take you to the site through the garden.

After the ceremony, we will be moving to an intimate, fun reception site--the home of our friends, the Shufer family. We are excited because they are so enthusiastic about hosting this event and welcoming all of you! The patriarch, Reid, is ready and waiting with his designer software create party layouts (we are in definite need of his gusto in regards to wedding planning!)

Joni Off to the Ohio River!

I'm off on a 60 day journey--filming the awesomeness of Mimi Hughes as she swims the length of the Ohio River to support the education of women and children globally.
