I am happy to say Pastor Duncan will officiate at our wedding. I meet Pastor Duncan while I was living in Morro Bay when I was on a bike ride. I passed this Rock Harbor Church, every time I rode by and one day I decided to stop in and see what kind of church it was. Pastor Duncan was there and happy to meet with me an answer all my questions. I started attending Rock Harbor regularly and every week I was inspired by the sermon. Unfortunately when I moved out of Morro Bay it became difficult to make the commute and I stopped going.

I take it as a sign of good fortune that when I tried to contact Pastor Duncan he was no longer in Morro Bay but was starting a new Church called Journey Church about 15 miles from where I live now. The Grand Opening is on March 2 and Chad and I plan on attending. I am delighted to be going back to church and super excited to have Gods word shared by such an inspiring Pastor. Above is a picture of Pastor Duncan and his family.

Well, luckily we didn’t have to look too far to find a beautiful location for our wedding reception. After looking at many places that were much further away we landed on a beautiful hotel called La Bellasera.

This should make a great location for the wedding reception. The ball room is attractive, the food is amazing and it is approx. 1 mile down highway 46 from the ceremony directly off of highway 101. The rooms at the hotel are very nice and priced a little on the high side starting at $240/night Fri-Sat. We have reserved several rooms for our guest so please let the Hotel know you are there for the Forrester – Cook Wedding.

Across the parking lot there is also a Hampton Inn Hotel which has rooms starting at $159/night Fri-Sat.

You can use this link to map out driving directions from your home. You can also use this link to get directions from the ceremony to the hotel.

After a lot of searching we have managed to find a location to have our ceremony that works well for everything Kristina wanted in a location. We are very excited to have found a location. Now is the difficult task of attempting to locate a place for the reception that isn’t too far away.

The ceremony will take place at the Peachy Canyon Winery on Highway 46 West near Paso Robles, CA. It is a beautiful lawn under some large oak shade trees and right next to the blooming grape vines.

We are looking forward to sharing it with everyone.
