Steve & Fotini's Greek Wedding

My first greek wedding! I loved it. The ceremony was at the Greek Orthodox Church in Santa Barbara - it was filled with culture and tradition and really cool people who all had tons of fun.These little girls were pretty cute looking out the window where everyone was getting ready.The Greek Orthodox church is amazingly beautiful inside. Looking up.Behind the wall.The harpist is Laurie Rasmussen, she's been over to Grandma's house to talk harps. She sounded awesome here.I enjoyed seeing all the parts of the traditional ceremony.
Out cold after the ceremony. The reception was at the Fess Parker - beautiful day in Santa Barbara...
This woman was rolling cigars on the spot - that was cool.Nice cake.
The most impressive thing about this whole thing for me was the dancing. I've never seen anything like it. Sooooooo much fun...and they were good check em out!The glass! Not that I knew exactly what was going on but I liked it. Someone would get out there and dance around this glass and then finally take a drink. Everybody who was anybody did it.Steve rocked it.
Dollar bill yall. I've heard of throwing money around but I'd never actually seen it. I thought about grabbing one to buy a candy bar or something but I ended up not...
Awesome people and a special night...everyone danced and danced until about 2 am. It was rad to be a part of.

Jessie & Emily's Robin Hood Wedding Celebration

What a sweet evening. It was a Robin Hood theme and everybody totally got into it. This was a wedding celebration for Jessie & Emily - they are having a more proper ceremony in another state I guess in a couple weeks, so this was their California thing... They even had water coming up out of the ground from their well somehow and flowing in this hollowed out tree branch and into this bucket which is where you got your drinking water for the evening. Horse drawn carraige rides for everybody...

Bow and arrow target practice of course.
Jessie did look natural in Robin Hood stuff.
...and I think this look really worked for Emily, with the flower tiara and all.
These BBQ ribs were tasty.
This was a uniquely sweet experience, I'm stoked I got to be there...
