你们俩是怎么认识的?
Lindsey: I met Mike on my first day of college. We had the same on-campus job as Event Staff for the University of Minnesota Athletic Department. He was a year ahead of me and I was placed next to him to learn from the experienced ticket taker he was. It was a doubleheader, so we had plenty of time to get to know each other.


你知道他要求婚吗?
Lindsey: He didn’t even know!
告诉我们你们是如何订婚的。
Mike: We were on vacation in Switzerland and we took a day trip up to the top Mt. Pilatus in the Swiss Alps. I honestly did not have plans to propose there, but I was so overcome by the beauty of where we were that I had to ask her to marry me then and there. I didn’t have a ring, so she didn’t think I was serious at first, but after a few moments, she knew I was serious about it.
Lindsey: Just as our train down the mountain was about to depart he got down on one knee and asked, “Will you marry me?” I assumed he was joking and was making us late for our train — I told him to get up and that people were starting to look. When I locked eyes with him again, I knew he was serious. I said yes and there were a few happy tears from both of us. Our next stop on vacation was to Florence, where we picked out a ring from a gold shop on the famous Ponte Vecchio.


当你第一次看到琳赛穿上礼服时,感觉如何?
Mike: I could not have been happier. Our wedding ceremony was outside in the Redwood Grove at the UC-Berkeley Botanical Garden, so we were surrounded by magnificent nature. Her dress fit perfectly with our surroundings and made her look like a princess.
走过红毯时,您有什么感觉?
Lindsey: With my mom and dad by my side, I walked through the fairytale-like redwoods feeling surrounded by so much love from all of our friends and family. Seeing Mike standing there smiling at me I couldn’t help feeling overwhelming happiness.


您是否立即开始筹备婚礼?
Lindsey: At the time that we got engaged, Mike was just finishing up his PhD and had just accepted a job in the Bay Area, so we waited until we settled in out here to start our planning.
您是如何平衡决策的?
Mike: I think our situation is a bit unique since Lindsey often plans large events professionally. Since she is so good at organizing it was hard for me to keep up at times, but I did my best to contribute as much as I could when the opportunity presented itself.


当您登上婚礼接待船时,您有什么感觉?
Mike: We were both so happy when we got on the boat. It looked fantastic, and all our friends and family were so excited to go out into the bay. One of my favorite things was how much all of our guests loved it. Everyone has been to a lot of weddings and knowing that we were able to give our guests, who traveled from far away, a unique and memorable experience meant a lot to me.

Lindsey: I felt like we were about to embark on a wonderful adventure. We watched the kids’ faces light up as they explored the boat, just as much as the adults.



在您的婚礼或婚宴中,有没有什么特别的时刻让您印象深刻?
Lindsey: We were able to pull into McCovey Cove just as the National Anthem was playing and the sun was setting before the Giants first pitch. My father-in-law looked at me and said, “this is really cool.” It was then that it really sunk in that this experience was truly special, not just for us.
Mike: That day had a beautiful sunset over Marin. Watching the sun slowly go down over the bay with all the people I care most about in this world (most importantly my wife!) could never be matched.


是什麼讓你想和霍恩布洛爾一起舉行招待會?
Lindsey: Knowing that our friends and family are scattered across the country and would all be traveling to the Bay Area, we wanted to find a venue for about 70 people that provided a uniquely-SF experience. We found Hornblower and they happened to have an opportunity for engaged couples to take a brunch cruise. We had the absolute best time and knew that we wanted to share this experience with our friends and family.
Mike: We had an absolute blast on our complimentary trip with Hornblower. The convenience of working with Hornblower and the total package service sealed the deal.


今天最精彩的部分是什么?
在炎热的九月,一天中最美好的时光莫过于吹着清爽的微风,从海湾中央欣赏金门大桥后鲜红的落日。这是一个无法重现的时刻。
最后,您想用什么词来形容您的婚礼?
