The Wedding!

Words cannot describe how truly amazing the wedding itself was (so this post includes many pictures!) Every detail was perfectly set into place to create an event that was as memorable for the bride and groom, as it was for every guest attending. The wedding was breathtakingly beautiful, set on the coast overlooking the ocean at sunset on the lawn of the Montage Resort. As the rabbi led the wedding ceremony, he explained many of the Jewish traditions and their significance so that all attending could truly appreciate the meaning of each element of the service. So much joy was in the air that lovely evening!

Gorgeous weather. Gorgeous wedding site.

Someone took his role in the wedding quite seriously.
He could pass for a Secret Service agent!

The happy couple Mark & Lindsay!

After the wedding ceremony, we proceeded over to an adjacent lawn to begin the celebration with cocktails & hors d'oeuvres. 

Jami's dad Jim, the groom Mark, and Marcia (mother of the groom and Jim's sister)

The boys' favorite activity after the ceremony was playing in the rose petals. Priceless.

The parents look happy. The boys look dismayed. 
One can only be on your best behavior AND wear a tux for so long. 
That's a pretty tall order, but the boys did so well!

Jami loved this tuna tartare that resembled a mini ice cream cone! Too cute to eat!

The sun tucked itself away on the horizon, and we moved inside to continue the reception in the main ballroom, which had been transformed with a classy yet striking interior design style courtesy of the vision of the mother of the bride. 

Large lamps, white couches, silver drapes ... so chic!

Centerpiece.

Right off the bat was a bit of dancing to the tunes of the BEST band (we heard they also played at the singer Fergie's recent wedding!) As we took our seats to eat, we enjoyed the first course of sushi, missed the main course because we made a quick trip back to our hotel to take the boys to their babysitter, and then returned to find individual fondant wedding cakes with spun sugar flowers just waiting at our places. Wow! 

Individual wedding cakes for each guest! Isn't it a work of art!

The waiters went the extra mile to make our little guys feel special!
They brought them glasses of sparkling apple juice for the toasts.

A bride & a blonde! 
Lindsay and Jami took a break from dancing for a pic!

The End.
