Stephanie and Greg's Wedding

Stephanie and Greg had their wedding down in San Diego Saturday. The ceremony was at Kate O'Sessions Memorial Park. It had a great view of the bay.

After the ceremony people there was the usual photo ops.

Rare photo op: The guys aren't all wearing short!


Just for the record, we own suits.


The guys got so into it they wanted to do a jumping shot... I'm outta here!

Finally got to meet Anita's husband Amit.


Then the party continued on at the restaurant for the reception.

Cake cutting!


Prior to the wedding, we've been teasing (ok, I've been teasing) Derrick that since his birthday fell on the same day as the wedding, I was going to bring a bunch of candles and "take" the wedding cake with the bride and groom figures and bring it to him at the reception. Of course he didn't believe me...
I spoke to Stephanie and asked her if we should (ok, I should) bring a cake for Derrick. She said that it was a good idea and that she wanted to do something similar. She recommended her baker. I knew that her wedding cake was not going to have the bride and groom figures so I asked the baker if he had one for the birthday cake...
After the cake cutting, Stephanie had arranged for the DJ to make the announcement that we had a birthday in the house. Derrick did not expect a thing!

Derrick taking the whole restaurant singing "Happy Birthday" to him in stride but he doesn't see what Kathy is seeing.


Now he sees it!

Complete with Bride and Groom "action figures."


Kathy! Stop Derrick! We want to eat the cake, not have Angel wear it!


Cornerstone tradition

My hat sure got around that evening!


Got my hat back! With Jessica.


Anita wanted to take a silly shot of Jessica and me.


Ok, that's it Anita, no more pictures, the reception is over and it's time to take it somewhere else.


It was a great wedding. Lots of food. Lots of fun. Lots of friends, old and new.

I wish the happy couple the best! Stephanie, you have been my friend for the longest time. You've remained when others have fallen by the wayside. I am so happy for the next stage of life you and Greg are about to take. I will always be your friend!
