Their Story
What began as a casual exchange of graduation photos turned into shared dinners before class and long conversations in between busy days. Wanting to create a meaningful memory together, Sue invited Diana on a day trip to Yosemite—a place close to his heart.
He picked her up in her hometown of Firebaugh and planned a simple itinerary: scenic stops, a walk through the Valley, and a quiet picnic. It was during that picnic, surrounded by the beauty of the park, that their connection deepened into something more.
Years later, they returned to that same spot. This time, Sue got down on one knee and asked Diana to be his forever—bringing their story full circle in the place where their journey truly began.
Firefall Ranch
When it came time to plan their wedding, Diana and Sue didn’t have to think twice—the mountains had always felt like home. It wasn’t about finding the trendiest venue or the perfect floral arrangement. They just wanted something real. Somewhere quiet, peaceful, and full of meaning. Somewhere that reminded them of how their story began—surrounded by trees, fresh air, and the kind of calm that only nature gives.
They imagined a weekend, not just a day. A little adventure with the people they loved most. There’d be hiking for those who were up for it, campfires to gather around at night, and skies full of stars. Some of their guests were seasoned outdoorsy types, while others weren’t quite sure what to expect—but that didn’t matter. What mattered was being together.
They found a cozy lodge tucked in the foothills, with a wide open meadow that felt like it had been waiting just for them. That’s where they’d say their vows, surrounded by wildflowers and the soft soundtrack of birds and wind through the trees.
