Celia and Josh's Wedding Day ~ August 21, 2010

Nothing is more thrilling and romantic than a home wedding. Our family and friends worked together to create such a beautiful day for Celia and Josh. I hope the warmth and gratitude that Steven and I feel toward all of them are reflected in these beautiful wedding photos.

Thank you Sonia, for helping me keep my house clean and keeping our household running smoothly and with efficiency these past months as we were planning the wedding and working on design projects. Most importantly keeping everyone calm!! Your presence means so much to me.

Thank you Sara and Yannie,for the floral work,and folding the napkins over and over again, because of our gusty winds.

Thank you cousin Shari,(the chef)and friend Lynn (the assistant chef) they worked their fingers to the bone,and they made the most amazing food, we are still receiving calls from friends about how great every bite of food was.

Thank you my sweet friend Erin, for helping me maintain the gardens. Everything looked so beautiful.

Thank you Ron at Pacific Pool for keeping our pool Blue this year!!!!

Thank you Hollie and Becky (All That Glitter) for the gorgeous paper flowers, and the darling paper cake,they added so much to the wedding!!

Thank you to my sweet friends, Deb and Jackie for doing whatever was needed. Thank you, thank you, we love you both to pieces.

Thank you Celeste, for letting us borrow the baby tub and all the other fun pieces and for ordering the bubbly drinks!! We only wish you and Dan could have attended, you were missed. Oh! The CAKE was FABULOUS!!!!

Thank you to my husband,Steven, son, Michael and son-in-law, Mike for replacing our front yard fence (530 pickets, cut and painted) and stringing all the lights. I owe you so many hunting trips!!!

Thank you Mike Lee, for the amazing photos!!! You captured the essence of their day.

Thank you to the hundred guests that joined Celia & Josh and made their day so special!!

And Celia, she worked tirelessly on setting up every piece of furniture to be put in its perfect place, and the placement of the tent, tables, and the cotton candy machine, she is an amazing artist beyond measure.

Celia and Josh's wedding was beyond my present imagination. Their individualism and style was expressed in such a simply beautiful home wedding.

Thank you Celia and Josh for letting us share our home and to be a part of your 'special day'. I pray the memories are so strong, so preserved in your mind's eye that thirty-six years from now, the scent of the August air or the view in these fields will evoke the full-blown scene for both of you.

We love you!! Mom and Dad
