summer vacation part 2-the wedding

The reason for our whole trip wasn't just to have some epic fun with my side of the family. It was the wedding of my baby cousin, karissa to her long time boy friend, jake. It was on a Friday evening, it was BLAZING hot.  This just so happened to have been the first time I saw first-hand part of my nephew's Horner's syndrome in action.  Poor little guy only sweats on one side of his face.  We all were hot, the girls entertained themselves with collecting the yellow rose petals from the aisle and re-tossing them.  I guess they really wanted to be "honorary" flower girls.  They also loved seeing "the princess" aka my cousin the bride.
The wedding ceremony and reception couldn't have been more personalized and suited to them, in fact I almost felt like I was intruding on a personal moment.  They were a stunning couple....but we had to go all too soon, it was nearing 9pm and no cake cutting (the kids were totally eying the cupcake tower)  but we had some seriously over tired kids to tend to and an early morning trip down to Disneyland!!!.
Now some pictures!
