Family Fun & Frolic - Part 2

Wedding festivities began on Oct 27 with the Bridal Shower,

hosted by the bride's mother, our daughter Kristine.

Before all the guests arrived, it was family photo time.

Daughter-in-law Susan (all the way from HI & AK) snaps a picture

of her daughter Megan,  (from CO ) with the Bride-to-Be.

I snapped a pic of Kristine snapping a pic of my 3 grand-daughters...

Ryann, Cassie & Megan with Susan...

Then it's Ryan's turn to take the picture and you know the ladies

by now...

I got a special hug from Megan, while 

everyone else set out 

"something to eat"...

and then the sampling began to make sure it was as delicious  as it looked

and it passed the taste test.

Shower guests arrived and the fun began with a game

before the gifts were opened.

"Thank you Grandma". 

This is one of those photos you need to click on for a closer

view.  What else but a "bride" straw.

And last but not least some "sweets to eat".

After all the guests departed the family retreats

to the patio so Cassie can warm her tired feet. 

Oct 29th Wedding Day.   Pre-ceremony pictures:

Proud Grandma with Cassie.

And all my granddaughters, Megan, Cassie & Ryann

and another with Kristine

Outdoors, I get a shot of Jaron (Megan's husband) as he captured

some shots of wedding venue...

Wolfe Heights Winery & Event Center in south Sacramento

was stunningly beautiful in the daylight

and the dark.

After the ceremony, the wedding party got  their instructions 

from the photographer as he took a myriad of post wedding photographs.

The rest of the guest mingled and got acquainted with one another.

The youngest guest was only 2 months old...

 Don joins Jim (our nephew from San Jose, whom you met at brother

Roy's 85th birthday a few days ago.) 

I took this photo of Don specifically because he looked like

a two-fisted drinker, but I must admit that glass of wine is for me!!!

Cassie & hubby Wes  head to the main table as dinner is served

to about 100 wedding guests.

After dinner the dancing began and I had a great dance with

son-in-law Richard (to my left), and my grandson's Jaron, Kenney & Max.

This short video lets you join in the celebration.

Since music is their joint career, Cassie & Wes sang a duet

after the dancing was over.  

Stay tuned for Part 3 - Oct 30 as we visit the bride and groom's

home and get a tour of the Voice Academy in nearby Roseville CA.
