Our bride and groom had less than a month to get out the invite's, plan the entire weekend and find their vendors. Normally, not easy.... but this B&G had a secret weapon, DAD & MOM. They got on the phone and booked the resort they had always enjoyed "The Avila Beach Resort" Alex and her crew are really great to work with and very strong service pro's. This is one of many of the Rossi groups properties and to say it's beautiful there on the edge of the golf course by the ocean is an understatement. They decided on one of our favorite caterers GCR Catering with Chef Mike Foley. They also went with a wonderful photography duo From "The Collective" with William Mckeen and his partner. So to that point they were doing really well, a solid group of people who are total professionals. Then as I was setting up for the ceremony, I met the officiant. He was 6 foot 6 and clearly an athlete who looked so familiar, when I discovered who he was, I remembered having his baseball card when I was a kid when he played for the Cubs and twins as a Big league pitcher. The reason I'm not telling you his name is that his life just as it was back then, is service to his church now and the ceremony was too good, too personal and too warm to not make that the point. He had known the Bride her entire life and was so important to this Family that that he drove from Visalia to be there for her after his second service of the day.
The stage was set for a truly wild, fun and even unexpected evening. The energy these two families had was off the charts, they were bouncing in their seats to the background music and loving every minute. The volume of the conversations were loud and crazy from the first minute and carried all the way through dinner and into the traditional events. The first dance, The Father daughter dance and the Bouquet and Garter were perfect, each just as good as it could be. I know this sounds like I'm just making a big deal but it actually was just like it sounds. Then...............we met one of the Grandma's, she was a very conservative well dressed woman and very pretty. Normal right? yup..........until the music started and her inner freak let loose, WOW! she was pulling guys on the floor and just having a full blown dance party of her own. We gave her the nick name Lady GaGa and she was hilarious! by the end of the night everyone was calling her GaGa and she was just glowing with fun, the total life of the party.
This was the first wedding of the season for us this year and what a way to start the biggest year yet! Stay tuned we're just getting started!
