We began the year with a new blog, to highlight all of our incredible couples and their unique weddings, and the promise of regular updates. Regrettably we have not been keeping up as well as we would have liked. Thanks to the most astounding wedding season ever.
We had the opportunity meet some amazing couples, and be a part of their incredible weddings. And the greatest reward is to make friends for life ,an opportunities that I truly appreciate.
Along the way we met some amazingly cool people, such as the virtuoso of broadcasting, the legendary AL Michaels.
We met great athletes such as World Champion LA Angel's pitcher, Jon Garland
Jimmy Brettl of the Cleveland Indians,
Jason Hirsh of theColorado Rockies and my alma mater California Lutheran University.
Perhaps two of the most intriguing people we met , were the original spearmint twins of the 1960’s. Sisters who truly know how to live life to the fullest, and yes, have twice the fun J
Perhaps the most impressive accomplishment is that of Jessica Mendoza’s selection as the sportswoman of-the-year, a truly a magnificent feat. Congratulations Jessica. You are Amazing !
