Vows

I, Joe, take you Susan to be my wife
I bring with me all of my yesterdays and the promise of all of my tomorrows
Together we will face all of life's experiences, sharing one another's dreams and goals
I will stand beside you as your partner
I will stand before you as your protector
I will stand behind you as your solace
As God as my witness and in the midst of our families and friends
I promise to love you completely, to encourage you to reach your full potential, to be truthful and honest with you and
to try and answer your many questions.
I promise to love you faithfully through good times and bad, regardless of the obstacles we may face together
From this day forward for as long as we both shall live

Today, Joe, I give you my hand to hold and my life to keep
Forever giving thanks that we have found each other
I join my life with yours, loving what I know of and trusting what I do not yet know.
Come what may I will always be there to share your life and your dreams and
I promise that your life will not go unnoticed because I will be your witness
As God as my witness, and in the midst of our families and friends
I promise to love you completely, to trust, honor, and respect you, to support you in your goals, to laugh with you and cry you, And to scratch your back when needed -although that may be often -and
To love you faithfully through the good times and the bad, regardless of the obstacles we may face together.
Today, I give you my hand, my heart, and my love from this day forward for as long as we both shall live.

Room Reservations!

Just wanted to let everyone know that rooms have been blocked for wedding at the Lake Arrowhead Resort and Spa. Be sure to mention that you are a part of Drollinger-Forbes wedding to receive the discounted rate of $225 a night :) Also, I just want to clarify that there is to be no "two-night stay minimum" for guests of the wedding. So if you want to stay just one night, Saturday, Sunday, whatever that should be fine. If you have trouble with your reservations please dont hesitate to contact us. Oh, and be sure to book your rooms by JULY 10th as the room block and discounted rate is only available until then! :) We so look forward to seeing everyone soon!

Airport

If you plan on flying to SoCal for the wedding the nearest Airport is the Ontario International Airport-ONT. It is about an hour to an hour and a half drive to Lake Arrowhead from there, depending on how fast you can get up the mountain ;)

Lodging

Hello to Everyone! Just wanted to post some info about lodging for the wedding. The main stay place will be the Lake Arrowhead Resort and Spa 909.336.1511. We have a room block set-up there for all the guests of our wedding, be sure to mention you are a part of the wedding to get the room block rate.


While we prefer everyone to stay at the resort, there are other options if your not really feeling the resort. Within walking distance is the Saddleback Inn 909.336.3571, an older hotel with personality!


There is also the Fleur De Lac European Inn 909.336.4612. A bed and breakfast type hotel that is very cute.


Another bed and breakfast type is the Lodge at Lake Arrowhead 909.337.2543. Within walking distance as well.


If you're looking for an amazing view, there is also the Storybook Inn 909.337.0011. It is about a 10 minute drive from the resort.

Lake Arrowhead

So...Joe and I have decided to have our wedding at the Lake Arrowhead Resort and Spa!!! This is such a special place for me because I grew up going there as a kid. I remember Sunday brunches after church and exploring the hotel with my big bro John. The day we found the tennis courts on the roof was the absolute coolest! Anyway, this is a picture of the grass lawn where the ceremony will be held (minus the fog and rain...hopefully!) Its hard to see in the picture but the whole area overlooks the lake. Let me just say....We are so excited!!!! I will post details soon about Room blocks, lodging, etc, soon. :) If you want more, check out laresort.com

Engaged!

On August 1st, 2007 Joe purposed to me in front of the Golden Gate Bridge. It was so sweet and romantic, I am one lucky gal. How did we get pictures of it?? Well, Joe was so creative, he asked these very nice fellow tourists to take our picture, then before I knew it he was down on one knee! What an unforgettable and special moment!
