What do you like most about living in the North State?
I love the slower pace up here, and enjoy working around the ranch based on weather and light, rather than the clock. There are also some incredible volunteer opportunities and I love serving the community that way.
What’s your favorite place to visit in the North State?
Lassen Forest and Mill Creek area.
If you could host a wedding for anyone (real or fictional) who would it be and why?
Already done! I hosted a wedding for my niece. Her father had been injured a few months prior in a terrible accident. He was working on a very intense physical therapy and we weren’t sure he would walk again. When she approached the aisle alone, he stood up from his wheelchair and, with the use of a walker, surprised her by walking her down the aisle. I will never forget that moment. Buckets of tears were shed by all.
What’s the most bizarre thing you’ve seen happen at a wedding?
A streaker during the family photos!
If you could invent a holiday, what would it be and how would people celebrate?
Sunshine Day! Everyone would be encouraged to go outside, get some natural Vitamin D and appreciate the amazing gift that the sun gives us, even on a cloudy day.
What’s a hobby or activity you’ve always wanted to try, but haven’t yet?
Rock climbing.
If you could swap lives with any fictional character for a day, who would it be?
Princess Leia driving a speeder bike in the Endor forest!
If you could be a fly on the wall for any historical event, which one would it be?
I admire Eleanor Roosevelt, so I would love to attend an event where she was honored for her work.
What’s the most spontaneous thing you’ve ever done?
Swimming at the edge of a waterfall in the Seven Sacred Pools in Hana, Maui.
If you were a superhero, what would your superpower be and what would your name be?
Matrimonia, the superhero who can slow down time on wedding days so that couples can be more present in the moment!
