Wedding Season

Ironically, the year of our own wedding has seen many of our friend's weddings too! It's been fun to see how other people have done their wedding's compared to what we have planned.

Dean and Amber Nissen got married at Tivoli Too in Laguna Canyon. Afternoon ceremony followed by a great reception party. They hand picked all the music the DJ played, and I have to say by far the best wedding music I've ever heard. We had an awesome time and they're a terrific couple.Amber & Dean's pride-and-joy Sterling. I guess now Amber cut his hair into a mohawk.
Doesn't the minister look like Bill O'Reilly?


Tatiana looked stunning!

Next was Tati's neighbors from Long Beach days, Val and Brian. Funny, everyone thought they were already married. They are a lovely couple and are truly in love. So nice to see and feel.

Tatiana's Birthday 2008

We celebrated Tati's birthday on two separate nights. Thursday night was family night at Spark in HB. Friday night we met all her friends out for teppan at Daimon followed by cocktails at Sam's Tiki bar.My love, my life, my pre-wife.
Tati's ladies.
Tati's men.

Even Tati's old high school buddies Jeff and Ryan made it down from Ventura!
Miss Jane and Miss T get their sake on.
Now Miss Kim.
Lil' Bao Wao and Miss Junko join in!


Once a climber, always a climber.
The doorman at Sam's suggested I search her down ... and so I did.
Girls will be girls.
Amber lets loose a cool hair flip.
Uh, Marlon, we need need to talk dude.

Perry(stein) Wedding in Ojai

Doug and Andrea wed at the beautiful Ojai Valley Inn. We're so happy for them, they make a great team. Here's wishing them many years of love and happiness.

We started the day poolside. Me, Dax, & Chris charge the drinks to the "Underhills."
Aidan and Ava Snider. Such cute, great kids!
Tatiana and Whitney, poolside princesses.
Beautiful setting and backdrop for their wedding.
While explaining the personal background of Doug & Andrea, the minister pointed out that Doug is always making Andrea laugh. He didn't disappoint during the ceremony. We all laughed and touchingly, Doug's older brother and best man, cried. A great moment in time.
I now present you Doug and Andrea as husband and wife.

The Potter family: Sheila, Natalie, and Dave ... with another bun in the oven!
Double D.
Ava Snider just had to try on Tatiana's engagement ring.
OMG.
Doug now married. I'm next. Then Keith later this summer.
Tati, Phil, and Wayne get down, literally.
Tati, Andrea, and Amber. Tyler to the right still layin' it down!
Good night.

Shotgun Ranch

Doug arranged for his bachelor party at his family's ranch in central Oregon. The place is called Shotgun Ranch because Shotgun Creek runs through it. So fittingly the Perry boys use the place as a hunting and fishing Nirvana. Over 7000 acres of manmosphere = an atmosphere where a man can shoot a gun, smoke a cigar, fish, spit, cuss, and howl at the moon if need be. A view of the "cabin" and garage. Crooked River in the background marks the property's northern border.
Refreshments.
Skeet shootin'.
50 Caliber = Personal Cannon.
Partial arsenal.

Serious hand gun.

Kevin pulled this lil' guy within 2 minutes of throwing flys into the pond. Nothing like having your own pond to fish in.

A man's gotta eat.
A river runs through it.
Everybody should have their own landing strip.
The expanse of 7000 acres is hard to comprehend. Let's just say, it's vast.
6:00 am flight home on Monday morning, then straight to work. It hurt, but it was worth it.
