J & V had an amazing wedding at the Calamigos Ranch in Malibu on July 3.  Everything was beautiful, and we had a fabulous time!  J is my family friend.  I think we have known each other since I was about 3 or 4 years old…so a loooong time.

The ceremony was heart-warming!  They are perfect for each other!

After their touching ceremony, we proceeded to the tented area for cocktails and reception.

We sat at table 28 with the rest of the family friends.  Luckily they put us towards the back corner because to say the least, we were loud.  Here we are celebrating with the bride and groom.

L to R:  A, V, me, Hubby, C, C, T, C, M, S with the bride (V) and groom (J)

As their send off, everyone gathered outside and formed a walkway with sparklers.  It was very pretty.  Hubby had some fun, too!

Before heading home, we grabbed a family photo with the Mr. and Mrs.

Bonus:  my freshman year in high school, my parents decided that it was best that I attend private school, instead of continuing in the public school system.  There, I became friends with A, who happens to be V’s cousin.  Such a small world!

Again, congrats and best wishes J & V!
