I Realized

I hadn't posted about our other wedding weekend on January 2 & 3. Doug Quezada & Lauren Hodson were married in the Newport Beach temple and their reception was at the Montecito country club. We were able to be at their sealing and their reception was unbelievable. I love the Quezada family and am so happy for Doug. It was an honor to be a part of it! And it was a good excuse to enjoy the beautiful cities of Newport Beach & Santa Barbara.

New Year's Day in Oxnard. All the SB boys got together:

Javier, Dougie, Chris, Pepe & Frankie Boy
The Newlyweds

We almost didn't go to the reception because of a family incident,

so I don't look very put together,

but I'm so glad we were able to go after all.

We loved seeing all of the families Franco grew up with all in one place. Here we are with the Haws'.

Post-Script: I've realized how small the blogging world is. I was visiting Olivia Carter's blog {whom I don't know personally but met her through the blogging world} and clicked on A Little Sussy, and found these pictures. Then I read that Nicole is Lauren's cousin, and I remember seeing her taking pictures at the wedding. How funny. Incidentally, her photography is exceptional, so I'm looking forward to seeing more of the Quezada wedding pictures. Maybe I'll be in one of them! Lol.
