Stacey and Jason said I do overlooking the Los Angeles valley at the beautiful Bel Air Presbyterian church Saturday amongst family and friends. After the ceremony we cruised down the 101 to downtown L.A.’s Cafe Pinot for a night of dinner and dancing. The skyscrapers and art deco downtown library set the stage for an elegant evening under the stars. Stacey and Jason showcased their swing dancing skills during their first dance. Their guests cheered the two on as they glided around the dance floor. They were so amazing. I am hoping they will teach me a few of their moves. My favorite moment of the event came as Jason gave a heartfelt toast to “the woman of his dreams.” Such a beautiful wedding. Thanks so much to Stacey and Jason for having us share in their special day.

This past weekend Eva and I ventured to the east coast for Nicole and Oliver’s wedding at St. Mary’s Catholic Church and the Wee Burn Country Club in Darien, Connecticut. Friends and family flew in from all over the US and Scotland to celebrate with Nicole and Oliver on their big day. Nicole looked beyond fabulous in her beaded satin gown, but I must say that she did have some competition from her husband in his family kilt. Put the two together and you get not only one good looking couple but probably two of the sweetest people you could ever meet. I think I had tears in my eyes all day because they just glowed from all the love. Eva and I had so much fun sharing in the day with Nicole and Oliver and their friends and family.
A few of my favorite moments from the day include Nicole and her mom walking hand in hand down the aisle to meet Oliver, the bride and groom starting the party with ACDC’s “You Shook Me All Night Long,” Nicole’s brothers taking turns dancing with the bride to Paul Simon’s “Father and Daughter,” Oliver’s 91 year old kilt clad grandfather tearing up the dance floor, and of course the multi flavored multi tiered wedding cake made by one of Nicole’s maids of honor (I had two pieces). Congratulations you two thank you for including us in your awesome wedding.

Jennifer and Bob said “I do” on Sunday at Malibu’s Calamigos Ranch. Family and friends gathered amidst the natural setting to witness a beautiful blend of tradition and personal style. When I first met with Jennifer and Bob they both expressed to me that they wished their wedding could be a relaxed and joyous opportunity for friends and family to come together and celebrate. They couldn’t have done a better job! As a pre school teacher Jennifer had the arts and crafts skills to make her dream a reality. Jennifer designed her super unique moss and branch centerpieces accented with flowers and candles and crafted them herself. They were the perfect accent to the woodsy feel of the ranch. The twinkling lights gave the whole event an aura of enchantment. Jennifer and Bob hosted a truly magical wedding. I am so happy to have been part of their day. Congratulations to Jennifer and Bob!

A long time ago (Saturday) in a galaxy far far away (Laguna Beach) Michelle and Tony exchanged vows in front of family and friends and then partied the night away seaside at the Hotel Laguna. Michelle and Tony spent 18 months planning their dream wedding. They thought of every detail and along with the help of their friends and family they pulled off one amazing wedding. The cake, the flowers, the invitations…all of the little things that make each wedding unique were created by Michelle and Tony with assistance from their friends and family. Most importantly Tony’s mom handmade Michelle’s beautiful gown along with the bridesmaids lavender dresses. I have two favorite moments from the wedding. First when Michelle and Tony walked into the reception to the Star Wars theme song (I’m a huge fan), and then hearing “the Lobster Story.” Just like in the t.v. show Friends, Tony found “his lobster” (his mate for life) in Michelle. Little lobsters could be found all throughout the wedding. In Tony’s cufflinks, on Michelle’s garter, even in the arms of Michael the ring bearer. Congratulations you lobsters!!!!
