Favor bags for our guests included red bicycle bells, the lyrics to "Daisy Bell," his (Cliff) and her (Luna) bars, bicycle wine charms, packets of daisy seeds and much more all in hand stamped bags with his, her or tandem bikes based on the guest. And we raided our house and garden to decorate the stone hall with bicycle accessories. My best friend commissioned an artist to hand blow the red bicycle glass wine goblets (I'm a amateur glass blower).
The photographer, who was awesome and rode as stoker with a friend (her first ride on a tandem) to capture the ride photo's, has more pix at

That's awesome. Congrats to you both. May you have many happy days--and rides--ahead of you.
P.S. My DH and I met at a charity ride ourselves! That's the way to do it!!!!
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
