Last weekend we went our separate ways to celebrate two different weddings: Riester's in Louisville, and Becca's in Trinidad, CA. We wish we could have gone to both, but each had a great time!
Here is a picture of Mikey in his tux before Riester's wedding. Oddly, this is the only pic I have seen of the whole weekend. I will have to bug Riester and Sarah to see more at some point.
Meanwhile, I took off for California on Wednesday morning. I met two friends from high school, Benjie and Danny, in San Francisco and the three of us road tripped it north for the weekend. It was a beautiful 6-hour drive up the 101 through lots of winding roads and redwood forests.
We took a quick detour to stop at this tourist attraction where we could drive through a redwood that was 2400 years old.
And finally we arrived in Trinidad. The wedding was held at a small B&B called the Lost Whale Inn. It only had 8 rooms, and just immediate family stayed there... we stayed across the street in a 2 bedroom cottage at View Crest Lodge. Here are some shots at the Lost Whale:

Here is the setup for the ceremony. Becca and Eli stood under a chuppa -- a canopy that symbolizes the couple will build in their life together. Like the tent of Abraham, is open on all four sides for hospitality. Becca's uncle is a rabbi and officiated the ceremony. There were only about 100 people there, which was a nice size for an initimate setting. It was a wonderful weekend, and after 8 years together... Becca and Eli are finally married!
We drove back to San Francisco on Sunday, and I caught the red eye out that night.
Becca and Eli leave for their 10-day honeymoon in Bali tonight. Can't wait to see pictures from their trip!
