Katie's Wedding

Thursday was the big day. The ceremony didn't start until 5:00 pm so we had plenty of time to relax. It felt good after hard driving for two days.

We got ready and all dressed up. The weather was gorgeous. It was not beastly hot like it would normally be in southern California. Was a tad windy, so all the young women in the bridal party had their hair tossed around a bit. They must have spent hours getting their hair just perfect and the wind tossed it around. I am really surprised that Katie's veil stayed on. After the ceremony the wind stopped.

Katie and Andrew were a beautiful couple. I didn't see any nerves on their part. My little niece Gracie was the flower girl. She started out good and doing her job like she was supposed to, but when she realized that everyone was looking at her, she stopped and wasn't going to move. Andrew and Lexie were doing their best to coax her to come up to the front. Gracie did manage to make it by her mother.

The ceremony was held on a patio with a very pretty waterfall. You couldn't ask for a better setting for a wedding. However, Katie's mother and father were married in a castle so it is a tie on beautiful locations.

After the ceremony, all formal photos were taken. The guests were escorted upstairs to the roof top banquet room. What a view. You can see the whole valley from up there and we were blessed with a beautiful sunset. We were served dinner and it was delicious. We were served chicken with potatoes and veggies. For dessert we had a very delicious chocolate mousse.

After dinner was the dancing. They had a dj and he played quite a variety of music. He even played some of Katie and Andrew's music. Everyone had a good time. Before we knew it, it was time to call it a night.

I am still in the process of getting all my photos sorted and edited, I'm slowly working on that.
