Newport wedding update

As promised, here is a recap of an amazing wedding weekend.
There was a casual casual clam/lobster bake on Saturday night for anyone who arrived the day before the wedding. It was fun and delicious- but crazy huge servings (this was my plate!)
The next morning my guy and I did the cliff walk. Six miles of gorgeous views.

the wedding garden update
Comments (9)Well, this just doesn't stop. Yesterday more vinca went in the ground and the pot ghetto was gentrified. And so far, the penta gets the prize. In just a week, they're already bushing up and filling in their space. Even though I wanted quick color, I couldn't bear to crowd the plants, so everything was planted in the space it will ultimately need. Looks like the penta plan on occupying that space quickly. And yes Trini, I'll be taking pictures. The wedding isn't actually here, though the cake and champagne part of the ceremony is, so the photog will capture a bit of that. We're working on yard lighting next weekend. And the biggest fail so far, even worse than the snail-eaten salvia? A dark pink cuphea I bought on the spur of the moment. It's tag said it wanted full sun when I bought it yesterday. Today its leaves say maybe not so much. I think it died while we were out snorkeling. What does full sun mean to the garden people who write those tags? This plant was gorgeous this morning and watered last night. How can it be dead? grrrr....See MoreNewport Beach, CA coconut palm update...
Comments (2)Im also really curious. I dont think this past winter was particuarly cold in California so its probably still alive and well, but I would love to see some pics. -Alex...See MoreThing One's wedding update
Comments (39)Guess what came in the mail today! An invitation to Nina's wedding for Thing One and FMTO. Now, she did ask me for their address, and I can't swear I ever got it to her. But she could easily get it several ways. But so what, who cares, that's not what's funny. What amuses me is that this time she got Thing One's name wrong! Remember how she hyphenated my name, even though my name isn't hyphenated, unlike my children's names, which are? Well, Thing One Doe-Smith's invitation came to Mr. Thing One Doe (she got FMTO's name right). So we came out even -- he got my name, I got his. What is strange is that Thing Two is on neither of our invitations, nor has she received one of her own (I am positive Nina does not have either Thing Two's current address in Israel or her school address for the fall). It doesn't matter, because of course none of us can attend, but it keeps things interesting. Back to Thing One's wedding ... FMTO sent me proofs of the invitations. They are lovely! They have a pretty tree at the top. What a thrill it was to see their names in the formal text. This is getting so exciting!...See MoreWedding update...
Comments (13)My original inclination is to leave it bare, but I also agree with blfenton....bc that's what I ultimately ended up doing myself! I had planned to leave my neck bare, like most wedding dresses I felt mine made enough statement on its own. So I had my portrait done without anything at my neck (in the Sourh we do the bride's portrait early so it is ready for the newspaper and some display it at the reception.) it looked perfect. Then my DH gave me the most exquisite strand of pearls at the rehearsal dinner. And of course I wore them and of course they looked perfect! :) Whatever you decide will be lovely. Your dress is stunning....See Morejojoco
