The Foresta Wedding

We had a wonderful weekend in Malibu to celebrate Melissa and Mario’s wedding! They rented a villa on the mountain side and she did everything herself! We left Tay with Grandma early Saturday morning and headed to Malibu to hang out with the gang and get last minute details together. It was a beautiful windy day and we hung out and talked and made sure the catering company was all set when they arrived to set up. The guys played basketball while the girls played beauty parlor. When the ceremony started Gus dropped my camera so almost all photos were stolen from FB (new camera on the budget now).

It was a beautiful ceremony where they recited their own vows and brought tears to everyone’s eyes. They did a new unity ceremony that I had not seen yet; it was a wine box with a fancy bottle in it with letters hand written to each other that morning. They each put a nail in it to seal it and sometime down the road when times are tough and they need a reminder they will open it read each other’s letters and share the wine to remember exactly how much they loved each other on this very day. Or as Mel put it- in a week or 2 when they want the wine hahaha! It has been so much fun this past 5 years watching their love grow and I can’t wait to see what the future has in store for them, especially the Foresta babies!

No detail was left out, they had their names lit in the pool, a photo booth, bubbles, great food, and my favorite cake pops! Mario works for New Era and he made fedora hats for all his groomsmen (I got one too woo hoo) and Dodger hats for all the guests and they all have MM52811 stitched in them. Melissa had pashminas for all the girls in silver, navy and cream; which were life savers as soon as the sun went down because it was FREEZING!

We danced until 2am and then finally headed upstairs to bed, we spent the night at the villa with the wedding party, some of whom (the bride and groom included) were up till 4am!. We had a wonderful night, made lots of new friends, and great memories. Congrats Forestas, we so happy for you and we love you, thank you for letting us be a part of your special day!
