It was a rather small and intimate wedding,
but lively nonetheless. The Westgate Hotel is SO gorgeous and has
beautiful lighting throughout the venue. Love was in the air from start
to finish, and the guests, all close friends and family of the bride and
groom, had nothing less than genuine and sincere smiles throughout the
day. There was non-stop laughter, even during the tear-jerking
sentimental speeches. The bride’s sister all the way in South Africa
couldn’t attend, so they had her on FaceTime throughout the ceremony and
the reception and she even gave a speech while plugged into the speaker
system – through the iPad from South Africa! It was touching – all of
it was magical. Although a small wedding, the LOVE was real! Afterward,
the I stole Pete and Sumari away in a limo to the harbor nearby and then
to Balboa Park for some couples portraits where they captured some
amazing moments and invented new inside jokes. It really was the perfect
day.
