On a Clear Day in Santa Cruz

So what did I do this weekend?  Hmmmm.....I went to a becautiful wedding in Santa Cruz.  Of course you can recognize my son there on the right but on the left is his best friend Patrick.  They've known each other since they were kids. It's only natural S would be his best man (a few years ago).  So what's that mean?  Ahhhhhh....Patrick is Scott's best man!  YIPPEE!

Yep there he is with his lady love of almost 5 years.  It's hard to remember ever saying Scott without following with Sarah.  

She looks absolutely beautiful!  How did my little baby boy get to be so grown up?  How did the time go by so quickly?

When he bought this ring he hid it in the locked box that holds the serious drugs in his rig.  Apparently it's like trying to break into Fort Knox.  When he brought it home to ask Sarah to marry him, he hid it in one of the headers of the Chevelle.  Goes to show, when you're in the middle of a frame off restoration there's lots of nooks and crannies to hide little stuff.

I love the, 'kiss the bride' part!  Maybe that's where the term, 'Sealed with a kiss' originated from.  LOL!

Ah yes, that's definitely my kid!  He shows class in any situation.

The family is growing!  I was disappointed that I didn't get my picture with Margie, Sean and Patrick.  They are after all my son, daughter in law and grandchild even if they aren't related by blood.

Finally a picture of my husband!  When it comes to his picture, it's like trying to capture a ghost.  Usually at photo time he just vanishes.

So the question from D was, "Where are you going for your honeymoon?"  The answer...."I'm going to Disneyland!"

Oooooo....brother and sister playing nice.  No punching.  What good children I raised.

The wedding went great.  Sarah did a fantastic job putting everything together without involving Scott much.  Only one little catch.  Sarah came with her parents, Scott came with his best friend and they didn't have a car.  I hadn't realized that until he asked if we had room for them and would take them to the reception.  Details....details.  

I loved escorting them to the reception.  What mother wouldn't?

See Heather....see Heather look cute and sober.

See Heather, Scott and Sarah enjoy the reception.  Nothing like a few free drink tickets to get you started.  Of course, we older soles went back to our rooms after dinner and a drink or two to settle in for the night.

From here Scott and Patrick went for a swim then they all headed back to the bride and grooms room for more celebrating.  Apparently as the story goes, Heather found a nice bartender who continued to buy her drinks.

See Heather with hangover.  The good news is...she rode with us to Santa Cruz and didn't have to drive herself home.  The bad news is....she didn't have a smooth ride home and on a couple of occasions had to hang out my car window and proceeded to decorated the paint with some of the previous evenings libations.  Ewww....she was polite and followed with pouring bottled water out the window to help clean some of the mess.

Patrick was up and moving in the morning as was Sarah.  Scott however, was nowhere to be seen.  He should have been pretty good in the morning because he was able to put an IV in the night before.  There are definite advantages to being a medic!

I guess I can now officially say, "I'M A MOTHER IN LAW!"  YAHOO!!!!!
