K & T’s Wedding

On July 2nd, we attended the first of only two weddings this year.  Coincidentally, both grooms have the same name and their weddings were on back-to-back weekends.

Since we were planning to head to LA for the long weekend, we rented a car one-way to Sacramento and then flew out of SMF to LAX.  I thought the drive was only an hour and a half, but it turned out to be almost three hours with all the traffic.  Thankfully, baby E slept most of the way.

I met K first year at UCLA.  I missed one of my 8am Econ classes and had seen K in my building before.  So, I went looking for him to ask if I could borrow his notes.  Luckily, he didn’t think I was some crazy stalker and let me use them.  Second year, we were both PAs and worked together all the time.  Despite K’s strong personality, we’ve always gotten along great.  I am so happy that he’s found the love of his life T, as they make a perfect couple together.

K and T’s wedding took place at the beautiful Wilson’s Vineyard in Clarksburg.  It was a gorgeous backdrop for their wonderful ceremony/reception.  We are so happy to have been able to celebrate with them on their special day.

J & C’s Wedding

J & C had a beautiful wedding at the Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel on December 26.  Their wedding was elegant and fun.  We were so happy to be present on their special day.

It is crazy to think that I have known J since 5th grade.  We have been fortunate to have kept in touch all these years.  Actually, looking at the picture below, I have known J, J, S and S all since 5th grade and M, C and T since high school.
