Father of the Bride – Revisited

 

Grilled sea bass in banana leaves, a classic Jamaican rice dish, a bevy of appetizers (shrimp, oysters, cheeses), rum punch and a host of other goodies are coming our way this Saturday evening following our younger daughter’s wedding on the beach in Carlsbad.


Terramar Beach in Carlsbad CA

 

We had a beach wedding just 2 ½ years ago in Cardiff when my older daughter got married – you have to be sure of high tide depending on the beach – so we have some experience with this sort of this, including the steps.

 

And the weather this weekend is supposed to be summer-like, around 80.

 

The last few weeks have been crazy, with work (a number of relocation clients and a pending closing), travel, SoCal CRS stuff, the Cardiovascular Disease Foundation 5K Run/Walk for Life preparations and event, and wedding preparations. The reception will be in our back yard (thank goodness for a caterer) and people are starting to arrive from around the country tonight, and the lists of things to do and buy keep getting longer it seems. Late nights and early mornings are de rigueur.

 

I probably won’t be around much the next few days but who knows. Later!

Thanks, Martha, it should be great fun. The wedding is small but with some very special friends, which makes it that much nicer. And foodie that I am, I am looking forward to that part, too.

Jeff, I thought this was an entry in the Be a Star of your own Movie contest.  Well, I guess it kinda is in real life ... your own movie. Congratulations on the upcoming wedding. You may also want to add ... Sleepless in Carlsbad.
