To have and to hold, from this day forward…

Weddings… Yay for weddings! Dan and I had the pleasure of attending Rich and Tina’s wedding in Vacaville, CA this past weekend. We met Rich when Dan bought his STI back in the Summer of 2004. That was when we became part of the SRIC (Subaru) family. Good people, lots of fun, and lasting friendships. Hard to believe it all started with a common interest/car club. There have been many marriages, babies, and career/life changes over the past 7 years.

Moving on… I didn’t take photos in the church at the ceremony – it was raining buckets, we were running a little late and I just wanted to be in the moment. I loved the small church they picked and the fact that it was packed with Rich and Tina’s family and friends. Much more intimate than a huge church with only the front seats filled.

On to the reception… Why not start with dessert? The cake was fabulous. 5 layers of yum! There were chocolate and white layers. I had the white with a raspberry filling – word from the table was the chocolate had a chocolate and caramel filling.

These chocolate and peanut butter delights had to have been handmade. They were incredible.

Deede showing off the insides for my readers ;). This photo turned into a conversation about the Seinfeld hand model episode and other hand model stories. Good times.

The reception took place in the atrium of a local hotel. The skylights made it nice to take photos.

I snapped a quick photo of the bride and groom in the hallway before they were introduced by the DJ. Tina looked amazing – I loved the collar on her halter wedding dress. She looked so beautiful from head to toe.

I now introduce to you… Mr. and Mrs. … let the party begin!

Villa Corona in Vacaville catered the reception.

A simple salad of romaine lettuce, shredded carrots, marinated corn, and tomatoes tossed in balsamic and olive oil.

Marinated slow roasted pork and chicken…

Rice, beans (black or refried) and fresh cilantro, onions, salsa, limes and your choice of corn or flour tortillas.

I sampled a little bit of everything.

A fun and casual meal with a table full of friends… what more could you ask for?

Aaron, Rich and Josh…

Ed…

What? We can’t always be serious…

Subi love… Back to the cake, it was time.

We could not be happier for our friends. So glad we got to be part of their special day. Congratulations Rich and Tina, may you live happily ever after – just like the backs of our chairs said…

Much love to you both!
