Kristi and Doug

For family and friends who could not be there, she was a beautiful bride and it was a lovely wedding. You were all missed!

Kristi and Doug with best friend Caren and her guy, Jay, having just arrived at the hotel.

Leaving city hall -- we got the license, Mom!!!!

The chapel.

Inside.

Signing the last of the paperwork.

Caren helping Kristi get dressed, the bracelet was blue, and then a kiss for good luck.

Meanwhile, the groom was still pretty relaxed, he's NOT the one in the suit!

Okay, here he is, looking darned handsome, with his "best" -- son Doug.

We weren't allowed to take pictures of the ceremony, but here they are after the ceremony, stepping out into the gorgeous sunshine. What a great couple!!

The sunshine is so bright it doesn't quite let you see the beautiful dress, which was absolutely elegant. There were a few tears as the bride walked down the aisle! Chiffon that flowed with each step and beautiful draping and gathers across the front, fastened to the left below the waist.

Caren worked out the lacing so that no skin showed in the wrong places!

Nick and Coco. Doug and Vonda.

And Kristi and Caren.

Living it up afterwards!

What can be better than seeing your daughter so happy.

It was a good day.
