An Event to Remember

A few weekends ago I had the pleasure of attending one of my dearest friends weddings.  Cristina Ricchiuti and I grew up together, beginning in Kindergarten.  We played soccer together for years, attended every Fresno State Football game (and event) together and spent many years growing up together.  We always talked about our weddings as kids... (although it was with our 6th grade sweethearts)... so this event was such a joy to be a part of!  And best of all, she looked SOOOO happy!!!

The festivities began on Friday night with a cocktail party at The Inn at Spanish Bay. 

 The wedding was at the Carmel Mission at 1:00.  It was such a pristine day!  The sky was the most unbelievable blue, and the weather was just gorgeous.   

All of the details were very elegant.

Cristina looked absolutely gorgeous and glowing!

 The dress was AWESOME!

I snuck in to the church during the pictures and took some.

 Pat, Andriana, Neils, Cristina, Vincent and Vinci... a happy family!

 We left the mission and went to Pebble Beach overlooking the 18th green for a cocktail hour.  It was so beautiful!!!

 The reception was in the Library at Pebble Beach.  The tables were so elegant.

 This is where we sat, overlooking the 18th green!!!  What a view!

 Neils and Cristina walked up from where they took pictures.

 They look so happy!

 HER SHOES WERE INCREDIBLE!!!  Soooo Cristina I must add!

 Each place setting had our personalized menu.

 Glowing!

 More pictures of the shoes!!!

Thanks to the Ricchiuti family for an amazing weekend of celebrating!
