back home

It was such a fabulous wedding and weekend with family that it is definitely a let down to come home. Nice to be back tho' and now it is really fun to start going through all the photos and reliving the moments. We had a really fun rehearsal dinner on a mountaintop in Santa Barbara. It was a sunny, warm day that ended with a perfect sunset. Then the wedding day was slightly cooler, cloudy which turned out to be perfect for the pictures. Sarah was so beautiful. We walked early on the beach that morning and the day just continued to be perfect. Garden wedding and then we danced and danced. It really is all about family and the love and support that is given to the "start" of a new family unit, Sarah and Kevin. Fathers and mothers wedding toasts and the loving tributes to brothers and sisters were just a few examples of the emotional ties that remind of us of the love that is FAMILY. Sarah and Kevin came together to be married, each supported by their families to bind together their love. The symbol of the different colored sand sifting together into a tall pillar, representing their new life as a couple, reminded me that each of our lives is made  up of a million acts of love like grains of sand.  Weddings just make us stop and celebrate the scooping up of those moments and cherishing them.
