I have 1 daughter by birth & several who are like they're mine too.

Friday night I went to the wedding of one of my children.

The beautiful wedding was at Vintage Rose in Orange.

Young Michael started at age 7 and is family.

Mr. and Mrs. Hom, with the bride, Stacy.

 The happy newlyweds ...

Tina, wedding officiate & Mr. Keating, Michael's Dad.

 

 After the ceremony, the couple changes clothing.

The couple greeted everyone at each table.

Roy Center and bride, Stacy.

 There was a photo booth and an album, 

to attach a copy & write a message to the couple.

At 7:30 we were called to the banquet room for

toasts,  speeches,  first dances, meal and more.

A lovely evening and the party was going 

strong when I had to leave. Maybe still going on. 

Thank you Stacy and Michael for including me.

My wish is for this day to be the best day of your lives, 

so far, only o be topped by each following day. 

A smile for Saturday ...

Always at Angelo & Vinci's iconic restaurant in Fullerton,

Sometimes it's hard for me to get Demurs Sensei 

to smile for the camera, so I get Mei's help.
