Love and Wine at Maragas Winery

This has been the longest duration between posts since we started BigFatWine and what a strange trip it’s been. It has been extremely difficult to concentrate on writing ever since our oldest daughter shared the fantastic news that she is engaged to be married!

We are all beside ourselves and exuberant as we anticipate what the next 12 months will bring! The “topping of the cake” was when she asked me to walk her down the aisle! I think I have cried every day since! Here I go again….This isn’t a right of passage. Nor is it something I personally consider something that has been earned. It is a gift of honor and I cannot think of anything more special and heartwarming. Enough mushiness.

The wedding is taking place at Maragas Winery just north of Bend, OR. What a cool place to get married. The two of them are wine lovers as well so it obviously meshes with the wine lifestyle. Hopefully we will make the journey soon to visit the winery. They appear to have a great selection of affordable wines and I can imagine the excitement as our daughter and her fiance show us around the property. We promise to share once we check it out!

They are such a cute couple! We are so proud of them both. A few months ago, our  future son-in-law met us for dinner, shared his intentions and asked for our blessings. What an honorable young man! He’s got a great family as well and the two families I hope will be a perfect “blend”. My daughters future mom-in-law couldn’t have stated it better when she said…

My Awesome, Handsome, Amazing Son asked his Awesome, Beautiful, Amazing Girlfriend to Marry him today…..and she said YES!!!!!!!!!

Dittos!

  • SOUTHERN COMFORT August 28, 2011
    I just got back from family vacation, where, for ten days, I violated all my rules and everything I’ve ever preached about how to travel.  I stayed put. I rarely left the hotel grounds.  I ate in the same two restaurants for most of my trip—rarely deviating from pasta, pizza and gelato. Though there was […]

  • SAFETY FIRST August 18, 2011
    In the end, we were all fine–as untouched and untroubled as we’d been before Iraq. If anything changed, if there was a single takeaway from what we saw in Kurdistan and what we learned during three days of “Hazardous Environment Training” in what our British instructors called “Virginiastan”, it was the absolutely jaw-dropping realization of […]
