Grosh-Ramos Wedding

I love weddings! We had such a fun time at my brother & Vivian’s wedding events this weekend. Friday night was their rehearsal dinner at CPK, which was just walking distance from our condo in Long Beach. It was nice to meet Vivian’s family that flew in from Hawaii, and have the two families together for a nice dinner. My younger brother and his girlfriend flew down from Arcata, CA and stayed with us over the weekend. On Saturday morning we woke up early, walked to Two Umbrellas Café for breakfast; we enjoyed their “recession buster” meal of eggs, bacon & potatoes for $2.95! With our full bellies, we headed over to the Crown Plaza hotel in San Pedro to get ready for the wedding. My mom rented a suite for all of us to get ready. This turned out to be a blessing as many people needed a home base to get primped in. The wedding was at the Korean Bell just a couple miles away. The weather and the views cleared up to make a lovely day, although the wind and bright sun were mighty powerful! It must have been a resemblance of the love in the air. The couple wrote their own vows, which was very special to hear…and somewhat funny! My brother started his off with a “joke” that he told to Vivian that captured her heart. After taking family photos, we headed back to the hotel for a beautiful reception that incorporated Vivian’s culture from Hawaii. We danced the night away and had great fun with the family!

It was a beautiful weekend with a beautiful couple. Cheers...and nothing but best wishes for the new couple!!!
