Wedding Day!!!

 Saturday September 25 - It was an early morning walk around Atascadero with Janet and breakfast at the cafe, then getting ready for the wedding.  The photographer took photos on the patio with Elaine's friends/family.  Everyone hopped on the shuttles and Elaine and I drove to the wedding.  Dinner was awesome (can't believe I forgot to take a picture!)  Meg and Kev both gave speeches that were perfect, funny and heartfelt!  I was extremely proud of them!  Then it was LOTS of dancing.  What a completely magical night.  Elaine and Ian did a great job on every aspect of the party!  Can't wait to see the official photos, but here are some my photos of the highlights of the day.

Final Wedding Prep

Thursday September 23 - Meg and Maddy got here today!  We had a wine tasting with the Greene's at Calcereous.  Beautiful views and fun to all hang out before the craziness begins.  It is Kev's and my 32 wedding anniversary, so the girls had a nice low key evening planned in the wedding reception area on the hill.  We had take out, danced on the dance floor and watched a beautiful sunset,what a perfect way to spend our anniversary!
