J & J's Big Fat Beach Wedding

Crazy few days, having just returned from San Diego, where our oldest daughter Jena Thompson married Jeremy Meredith on Saturday, November 1. Beach wedding was beautiful and vows heartfelt, and music was outstanding -- Ira Gonzalez performed at the wedding itself, and then at the reception, along with his brother John. Local rock cover band, The Trip, played at the reception.

Fantastic fun -- even for passersby; Steve and I were taking a breather outside when we noticed a guy (22 or 23, maybe) on a bicycle who had stopped to take in the festivities. Band was playing "Jessie's Girl" by Rick Springfield, and bike kid was really digging it, pumping his fist in the air and singing along. After the song was over, he drove past, grinning and yee-hawing, telling us how awesome it all was.

We thought so too.
