Linda and Jack’s Wedding

No, not that Linda.  Linda B2. Or maybe Linda B1. I can’t keep all those Linda’s straight! Anyways, my MIL came up to help Linda B2 throw a fun wedding in the middle of September at their beautiful home.  My Linda asked if I would be interested in helping out with the organization and running of the event.  As I am always up for a good time with my MIL, away we went. 

I was called upon to help with the pre-wedding photography, which I am clearly under- qualified to help with.  But I did it anyways.

This is the backyard from the view of the bride and groom’s balcony off their master bedroom.  It is a gorgeous home with a beautiful backyard, perfect for their wedding.

 

I was also called upon to do the flowers for the wedding.  Did you know that I used to work for a florist/party planner back in high school? Yeah, I’ve had an assortment of jobs.  So I put together the bouquets and the boutonnieres for the wedding party.

This is the bridal bouquet (right) and the maid of honor bouquet (left).

I attempted “classy” pre-wedding photo ops. That being said, I was borrowing a camera that I didn’t know how to work.  I might have done a little better with my camera. Oh, and we also steamed the bride’s gown.  I’ve never used a steamer before. That was frightening.

The table décor and favors

My partner in crime.  I would never do this kind of stuff with anyone else.  I know that no matter what, we’ll have a fabulous time together.  When it comes to parties, she is the Go-To Woman!

The bride, Linda B 2, made her own German chocolate and coconut cream cupcakes which were to die for.  And boy, did I snarf on those!

You’ll notice the enormous bar of Ghirardelli chocolate up front. I snarfed on that, too.  Because when you break apart the chocolate, the calories can escape. So, it’s pretty much diet food at that point.

Linda K (yes, there are three Lindas, making them THE Lindas) and myself toasting to the bride and groom through interpretive dance.  I’m fairly certain that at every party I have to hit some sort of dramatic dancer pose.

My fabulous MIL, Linda B1, the bride, Linda B2, the groom, Jack and me. Along for the good food and fun.
