Johnson and Johnson Wedding ~ Savannah Part 2

The beautiful bride, Heather

Dad and Daughter

My dad and our friend Gary.  Gary is Heather's Godfather and a fellow Oregonian.

We rode the trolley to the Church. It was SOOOO hot and SOOOO humid. (Great planning ahead on the hand fans). But it wouldn't be a true southern experience without the heat and the humidity.

Let the glistening begin! Pierce is my date for the wedding! I was his first ever babysitter. And now he's all grown up and in junior high!

Mr. and Mrs. Mike and Heather Johnson!

After the wedding we took the trolley to The Pink House for the reception.

I LOVED everything about the reception.  Especially the cake and the centerpieces.

The BEAUIFUL (and tasty) wedding cake.  Paula Dean had this same cake at her Savannah wedding.

So HAPPY for your Mrs. Heather Johnson!

And guess who caught the garter?

Thanks for such a fun night and congrats to Mr. and Mrs. Johnson!

Savannah Georgia ~ Part One

After dropping my mom off at the Atlanta airport to fly cross country to be with Dana and newborn baby Elle, my dad I headed to Savannah, Georgia for the Johnson and Johnson wedding.  Our good friend Heather (Johnson) is marrying Mike Johnson in their favorite town, Savannah, Georgia.

I walked down to the lobby for breakfast and spotted the Savannah Morning Newspaper. The St. Jude Children's Research Hospital's DREAM HOME sticker caught my eye. I love when St. Jude awareness is promoted across the nation.

My dad and I stayed at The Marshall House Guest Hose in Historic Savannah.  It served as a hospital for wounded soldiers back in the day AND is said to have a few friendly ghosts.

When we entered our room we were greeted by these adorable gift bags FULL of awesome goodies!

A guide book, moon pie, fan, coca-cola and some Savannah souvenirs ~ definitely all so Savannah!



My dad I set out on a walking tour to take in some of the historic sights. (In between rain storms).

I LOVED all of the architecture.

The Juliette Low house, the founder of Girl Scouts, took me back to my Girl Scouts Day. I was a Brownie and then Girl Scout in First - Fifth Grade and my leader, Mrs. Dull helped to create so many memories for our troop!

I'm loving this time in Savannah. I'm looking forward to doing some more exploring tomorrow before Heather and Mike's wedding tomorrow night.

Krissy and Joe's Wedding ~ Seal Beach

Today, my family friend Krissy married Joe. They had a beautiful backyard wedding in Seal Beach. I have known Krissy my entire lives, as our dad's were good friends in High School.

Krissy's Dad, Pat officiated the wedding. He performed a very special and meaningful ceremony and wrote a beautiful prayer and blessing.

First kiss as husband and wife

Many friends and families gave speeches.

Beautiful Bride! Krissy wore her mother's wedding dress. Her parents have been married for over 45 years. Very special.

Here are my parents with Carla, Pat and Perry. They all went to Washington High School in Los Angeles, California. They graduated circa 1959 and have remained friends, all of these years.

Pat and my dad. They served on Student Council and played baseball together.

The food was Italian and oh so yummy!

Dylan thought so too!

The cake was tasty too. It was my first experience eating a Vegan cake. :o)

Can't you tell that they're up to no good? The boys and Mark, my brother-in-law.

Alfa Jerk, played for a few dances. They are good friends of Krissy and Joe.

Congratulations, Krissy and Joe. Thank you for including me in your special day!
