The couple chose to have the wedding guests seated in a circle.

 

Flower petals on the ground.  Some parasol umbrellas for guests to use to help shield the sun.

 

 

 

 

The chairs still have to make their way to the tables after the ceremony.

 

A Photo Booth in the back there

 

The Bar

 

 

What a wonderful looking place for a wedding.

I have to remember to avoid this thread after Survivor.  Too many spoilers for those of us who don't watch it live.

I’m sure I’m the odd one out, but when I know what will happen ahead of time I seem to view the show or character differently. I don’t mind knowing some stuff ahead of time.

Definitely thought survivor had a interesting final vote , we always tape it but did watch it last night . 
Spent a couple of hours at the dentist again , if anymore problems they will need to remove the implant they added last month . Sailing in exactly 2 weeks on summit music cruise. 

Hope they don’t have to remove it. If they do will they replace it again?

Same. And if I recall correctly, that was updated in the past couple of weeks so we have the same software there too. I tried to check my update history but the Samsung Galaxy Store does not provide one unlike the Google Play Store.

Yes, I think it was updated. 

I wonder if since mine is an S21 and yours an S22 the Android update is the same.  They distribute them on different dates which doesn't make much since unless they are somewhat different.  Here is what mine is saying.

The only thing that I see that we have different is the build number which makes sense since we have different model phones.

Brandon should have been out...............big guy like that and can't even finish the challenge. That was really weak !!

 

Next time that group goes to Tribal, Brandon will be out, his whole team hates him.

Brandon,a PA guy played for the Seattle Seahawks and the Philadelphia team in the Arena League.

In my opinion he played it smart by using his idol.

On Sunday (day after the wedding), we had a Brunch Pool Party at the hotel pool for all the guests for one last time to get together before everyone start heading home.

 

Sunday morning sunrise.  That’s the view from our balcony.

 

They are setting up for the pool party.

In summary, this was the most magical and fun wedding I’ve ever attended.  It was so well organized and coordinated from beginning to end.  It was a blast and everyone had a great time.  The wedding planner said she posted photos to her friends throughout the night at the wedding and they couldn’t believe how amazing everything was.  They said they had never seen anything like it.  The hotel concierge was so helpful and made sure we had everything we needed for all the events.  She was so appreciative of everyone being so nice and respectful.

 

So, as we all said our goodbyes, we come away having experienced this once in a lifetime fun and memorable event that will stay with us for a very long time.  It was truly EPIC.

 

As for me, I was so grateful for the Lyft driver to deliver the 2 passports that were left in his car so that we were able to make it to son’s wedding.

 

With that, I wrap it up here.  Thank you all for letting me share this beautiful and momentous occasion with you.  I hope I didn’t bore you.

 

Next up, is my mother-in-law’s 90th birthday party (dinner) in LA this weekend.  I just barely unpacked from the wedding.  Then, it’s one more week until Bella cruise.  Another epical (is that a word?) event.

He had two votes. If he had not played the idol he would be gone.

We have had zero snow here in Virginia this year. Put my snowblade on my tractor just for practice on installing it I guess. 😞

Did you consider a flipper tooth ? When I asked my oral surgeon about it he told me you’ll use it once and never use it again .  My regular dentist’s office called and asked if I wanted to come in before implant procedure started so they could make an impression if I wanted to use one while bone healed .

Brandon pretty much held the deciding vote. Maybe he caught wind of how much campaigning Maddi was doing against him.

I, for one, happen to like Brandon.  Just sayin...I'm glad Maddi was voted off.

Before it's all over he is probably going to wish you were on his team.

What years were you there , I was there for about 10 years , quit when I turned 65 almost 9 years ago, was in Addison office.

I worked for Bank of America Field Services from 2008-2012, located on Corporate Drive in Plano across from JC Penny headquarters off Legacy Dr.  They were bought over by Safeguard Properties.  80% of us over 50 yrs olds were laid off but that's another story.  Age discrimination DOES exist in our great country.

Congratulations on your MIL's special birthday.

Wishing you the best and most wonderful lifecycle events to celebrate with your family.

Looking forward to seeing you on Oasis soon!!

I THINK there is a group Live but not sure.   

Wish you were joining us!

I wish I was too!    We have the cruise booked for end of this month with Chris and Donna as a wedding present.    I wish I could take more time off from work but I already have put in for 6 weeks of vacation time this year for various cruises and our time at our shore house (and I only started last August).    Although I am eyeing up a 5 night Bermuda cruise for either July or August.  😇

I hope to meet everyone on this thread someday!!!

I have been waiting for my dentist to say gum was healthy enough to do this .
