Well we did it! The rehearsal dinner in our back yard was great fun! With the renovation of the pool and the surrounding decking completed a mere two days before, colorful tables were set with provençal stripes, the sun was just setting behind the wisteria arbor, the tinkling of glasses and classical jazz wafting from the new {boy toy alert!} Sonor wireless speaker system across the pool all created a magical atmosphere. We invited all guests to paint a personal motif of wedding wishes for Lisa and Steven... and a joyfully creative wall of original art appeared as our evening progressed, much to the delight of all.
guests from far and wide gamely
painted their wedding wishes on our wall
Lisa, a radiant bride-to-be... love the dress, love the
way Steven looks at her!
wishes in Vietnamese & French
those Basque stripe cloths adorn the drinks table
the bride and her bi-coastal fathers rehearse the
walk down towards to ceremony
the bride's sisters Julia adds her special message
