Tim & Marie

Tim & Marie were first introduced by a friend in 2014, but we were both too preoccupied with life to make anything of it. In 2015 we both ended up at the same tech conference in Portland, but again missed the opportunity to connect. In 2016 God finally had to take matters into His own hands; He orchestrated our teams at work to collaborate closely for a month and that’s when we finally noticed each other. Marie remembers thinking, “that guy really needs a girlfriend!” And Tim finally took notice of how amazing & interesting Marie was! After making up excuses to stop by her office regularly for a few weeks, he finally got up the courage to ask her out, and the rest is history!

The Wedding

The ceremony and reception will take place at Hacienda Doña Andrea de Santa Fe, a beautiful Southwestern style mansion located off NM-14 the mountains between Albuquerque and Santa Fe. The Hacienda’s address is 78 Vista del Oro, Los Cerrillos, NM 87010. By car it’s 70 minutes from Albuquerque and 45 minutes from Santa Fe. The last mile of the drive is on a well maintained gravel road.

Schedule of Events

The wedding ceremony will take place at 4:00pm on Saturday, October 7, 2017. Hors d’oeuvre, dinner, dancing, and general good times will follow.

Weather

Weather permitting, the ceremony and reception will be held outdoors. It will most likely be warm during the day (70’s) and cool at night (50’s). We recommend having a jacket or sweater handy for when the sun sets.

Travel

Getting To New Mexico

For those of you flying in from out of town, the Albuquerque International Sunport (ABQ) is your destination airport. Flights might be a bit more expensive than usual because the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta starts on October 7th as well. If you’ve never been to Balloon Fiesta before, it’s quite spectacular. you might consider sticking around for an extra day or two to check it out.

Getting Around Once You’re Here

We will not be providing transportation to/from the wedding, so we recommend renting a car at the airport.

Hotels

Albuquerque and Santa Fe are full of hotels within an hour’s drive of the Hacienda. The Inn at Santa Fe is just 35 minutes away. There are also a number of Airbnb rentals available in Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and near the small towns of Madrid and Los Cerrillos close to the Hacienda.

Stuff to Do

The fall is a wonderful time to visit New Mexico! Here are a few events and activities that you might enjoy while visiting.

Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta

The Balloon Fiesta, the largest hot air balloon event in the world, will be taking place October 7th through 15th this year. The Saturday and Sunday morning mass ascension involve hundreds of balloons rapidly taking off all around you from a 78 acre field. At evening balloon glows, hundreds of balloons remain grounded and all fire their burners at the same time. It’s all quite spectacular!

Meow Wolf

The Meow Wolf House of Eternal Return in Santa Fe is an explorable, immersive art installation filled with technology, and fantastic environments to inspire visitors of all ages. The House contains dozens of rooms, secret passages and interactive light and musical objects with which guests can play for hours or investigate the mystery of the Selig family, who disappeared one night after conducting a forbidden experiment inside their Victorian mansion. This place is amazing for adventurous kids and adults alike! And it’s where we had our second date.

Sandia Peak Tramway

The Sandia Peak Tramway is the longest aerial tram in the United States, connecting the northeast edge of Albuquerque with the top of the Sandia mountains. A quick 15 minute ride brings you to 10,378’ for beautiful views and a network of hiking trails. Keep in mind that it can be significantly cooler at the top of the mountain, so consider bringing a sweater or jacket.

Madrid, NM

Madrid, NM, once a historic coal mining town and ghost town, is now a creative artists’ community with over 40 shops and galleries, several restaurants, a spa and museum.

Santa Fe, NM

Santa Fe has long been a center for arts and culture and ranks as the country’s third largest art market. You’ll find nearly 300 galleries and dealers to explore. We’ve got more than 200 restaurant choices ranging from our local New Mexican flavors to creative Southwestern cuisine to authentic world cuisines.

Registry

Together we already have two houses full of stuff, so no gifts please.

Adoption Fund

If you would like to give us a gift, we would greatly appreciate a contribution to our adoption fund. Due to Marie’s health, this will be the only way we can grow our newly formed family. Thank you!
