Malibu here we Come

We rise to a beautiful day, the sky was clear and the sun was shining. Lola and I were rip raring to go. After breakfast there were a few minor details to rap up in Studio City with Cali girl and bridesmaids. Like mani pedi’s for everyone. Even the toes and hands need to look their best on such an occasion. To our surprise even with an appointment set the salon was packed to the brim. Cali girl was a little nervous about the manicures getting done in a timely manner, low and behold the mission was accomplished.

Time to head off to finish Cali girls errands with little time to spare, back to the house and ready for the rehearsal dinner. Before we leave we take a moment to calm our nerves with a much deserved stress relieving shot to toast the day. One for the road. Our stay in Malibu would be spent at the Hampton Inn, once again a Thank you to Ashley. The rooms just as nice as the Hilton. I quickly change into my evening attire. Off to the Calamigos Ranch we head. We find the wedding party gathered around a pond with a waterfall flowing. All are happy and excited.The bride and groom are beginning to feel less pressure, for one more day and they will be husband and wife. This night there will not be any cameras following them or setting the stage for shooting opts to tell their story. The wedding couple has had a not stop schedule of filming with Tori and Dean for The Storybook Wedding show that will air on Oxygen sometime soon. This venue and all the accoutremants needed to make a wedding special with a theme has been provided by vendors selected by Tori for the shabby chic wedding Cali girl desires. I can’t wait to see what they plan for this location, for now it looks a little rough.  As we drove onto the grounds we see a Carousel that no longer works and a Ferris wheel. The area chosen has a bridge we will cross for the ceremony, at this point I am not sure where the reception will be held. On with the rehearsal, it is simple, to the point, cut and dry. We head up to the restaurant area for cocktails and mingling of the families. This is our moment to get to know one and other and throw a few back.The food chosen was simple but delicious, for example, the lobster salad sandwich with fries was to die for. The wedding will also have the same simplicity of food for the guest. Cali girl did not want a sit down dinner, too impersonal, the food theme will be comfort food, such as all the carb foods we all love and want to eat, along with fried chicken, and hand cut roast beef. The evening is going so well where there isn’t any dancing but the Man and I seem to make our own with a little two step. Anyone care to join in?Time for my toast. While listening to Reba Mcentires new cd one song rang true (All the Women I am)http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAzSpIFkDzQ about the type of Man every woman needs for a strong relationship. We as women are very complicated and show our emotions externally, most times unable to contain our feelings and desires.Most days we can conquer the world needing no ones help at all, other days we are curled up in a ball for pressures become overwhelming and drama of life and friends become too much, we may take these emotions unintentionally out on the ones who love us the deepest. We look for a man who can and should love all the Women we are, the child, the comedian, the housekeeper, the lover, the dreamer, the Mother of lost causes. We rarely are the same from day to day. I know I found this the day the Man came into my life, loving me whole heartedly not wanting to change a thing about me. Cali girl too has found this Man. He shows her his total acceptance and supports her every desire and emotion. Trying his best always to shoulder and comfort her when life becomes to much and she wants to crumble to the ground. Because of this I cheer and praise him, a second Son in our Family. He does and will love All the Women cali girl can be. Before the night ends two Fathers toast each other, a semblance of two Families joining with a shot of Petron, it was a perfect binding.

Parents of Children in love embrace each moment and will show support where ever and when ever needed hopefully never to be intrusive or over stepping the boundaries of their married Children

.

Bring on tomorrow and let the show begin. A Storybook Wedding in the making.
