This Saturday I went to my cousin’s wedding. It was nothing less than wonderful. I will start with the pre wedding night dinner. I really don’t know what to call it because it was a select few that were invited to go. It was not a reception or anything… just simply a nice dinner for a few close friends and family. It was at a nice country club that was very enjoyable to reminisce on the fun memories and rag on the bride and groom a little. The food was excellent, that setting was classy and the company was very enjoyable.
The wedding took place in an LDS Temple… I honestly do not remember which one but I know that it was the one that was close to Newport Beach. After the actual wedding everyone went home to rest/do whatever while the wedding party stayed and took many pictures.
The wedding reception started at six pm. There was an incredible amount of people there right at the beginning and it just kept getting bigger and bigger. I think that there were about 350 to 400 people that were in attendance at once. Everyone was parking there car about a half mile away if not farther but there were several club carts that were driving people to the reception which was a very nice touch at the beginning of the night. As you pull up, you see a beautiful house with gardens that look picture perfect, There is a custom make string of paper lanterns that draped across the front which is where the food was placed. The bride and groom had been all over the world and so with there wedding they wanted to have a similar representation with the catered food. From France to Africa, Mexico to Korea they had everything. Keep in mind that this was not boring appetizers that you warm up with the microwave… no, this was full meals made in front of you that were authentic. Incredible. As you head towards the left of the house you see a beautiful lawn that slowly goes up with table after table of friends and family eating and enjoying the festivities. Above is row after row of beautiful white paper lanterns with all different sizes. In the front of all this fun is a love band playing wonderfully in the front. It was a nice touch because this band, unlike most, played quietly and provided wonderful background music. Once the dancing floor was opened, they did pick up the tempo a little but it fit just perfectly with the setting.
As the evening progressed we were privileged to listen to speech after speech that made you stomach heart it was so funny with a few tear jerks because of how beautiful and sincere each speaker was. As the night slowly ended you knew that this was one of the most successful weddings anyone could have ever attended. Pure joy was spread to the hearts of everyone making single adults excited for their wedding days to married couples remembering their precious night. I hope and wish that everyone would be able to experience a happy day just like Christian and Michaela’s wonderful wedding.
