Read MoreJason&Rachel met in Chico while going to college here. Their first date was to Mom's, a very popular breakfast spot here in Chico. Since that restaurant is extremely special to them, it will be the same catering place that will be serving their wedding guests next year.

We love that Jason&Rachel share this in common with us and think it's so great that they are including this special date into their wedding theme for guests to enjoy. Now every time we go to breakfast, we'll be thinking about Jason&Rachel and the first date they had together.

Read MoreWe have been looking forward to this wedding from the moment Cassie contacted us. I went to elementary school with Cassie and was thrilled to hear she had met such an amazing man. After meeting Michael, it's so very clear how these two are meant to be together.

We had a little taste of how incredible their wedding would be based on the few hours we spent together on that trip.
