We headed up to wine country on a stormy day. Our route was detoured because the road was flooded. Not that unusual in the area when it rains, but it has been pouring with high winds for days. With the timing, we had allowed time for a pre-wedding lunch. We dined at the girl and the fig which is a top rated restaurant located a block from the Square in Sonoma. We didn't have reservations and lucked out with a table on the patio. This wasn't bad since it is entirely enclosed in a plastic tent with hot air coming in at our feet via a noisy machine. MIL was a trooper, she hiked the half block in. We snagged a parking spot right in front to pick her up when we left. Again, this is miraculous for this area. We were appreciating everything.
The wedding was just up the street. Interesting building. It's a First Congregationalist/United Church of Christ that shares the building with a Jewish Temple. Probably the people that established this place years ago did not have this in mind when it was built. They most likely aged and faded away without growing the next generations. Anyway, the building is well used. Great deal for $650. It allows the reception on site and you can serve alcohol...SCORE!!!
Look at the Groom's face, that is one happy guy. He should be ecstatic because he's marrying a wonderful young woman. And check at the dress...it is fabulous and she rocked it.
The decorations were simple and lovely. They had a timeline with photos of them as children and while they were dating....over the 9+ years....LOTS of photos.
Here are a few family shots...can you figure who is who?
There was a small "cutting" cake and then cupcakes...the BEST cupcakes EVER.
Wishing a Happily Ever After to Danielle and Forest!!!
