For Ann Haley and Jarrod Salmon, deciding where to get married wasn't so simple.; after all, they lived in different hemispheres. Since meeting at Airlie Beach in Australia two years before, the pair had been in a long-distance relationship. Jarrod, a team leader for a financial company, lived in Melbourne, while Ann, who had been vacationing there, was back in her hometown of Sonoma, California. But even though they intended to make their home in Australia, Sonoma won out as the wedding site.

A table was set up with a matted photo of the couple for guests to sign.

When guests arrived on that August afternoon, they were treated to lemonade in raspberry-pomegranate and mint flavors. They took their seats facing a view of the Sonoma countryside.
