Two weeks ago, Ms. Sarah Short transformed into Mrs. Tony Hernandez--and taking into consideration the groom's statement during the wedding that "nobody leaves this marriage unless they're in a coffin," it does seem that I was lucky enough to be witness to some seriously life changing events.
The beautiful bride and the mother-of-the-bride. I am so sorry I didn't get a close-up of Sarah's hair--a miraculous do of whorls and rhinestone. Sarah was actually quite relaxed throughout the whole wedding. In fact, I've never seen her so happy!
I was a bridesmaid along with our other dear friend, Jessica. This is a picture of me and Sarah's new niece, Nene (the flower girl).
The whole ceremony took place in Sarah's parents' house in Napa. Everything was so beautiful, and the backyard was rife with spots for photo ops. Here is Sarah in front of the koi pond.
Jessica underneath the garlanded porch.
My favorite part of the wedding was when Sarah, Jessica, and I were waiting in a separate room before the ceremony (in the room marked by those two windows at the back) and we were peaking out of the curtains and watching everyone sit down. It reminded me of playing with them when I was small. I kept on getting really choked up throughout the weekend because I kept on thinking about how we had been friends since we were 8!
Jessica's family (whose house we crashed for the weekend) and Shana, another old friend.
Seth and I snuck off to the vineyard behind the house to steal some Mondavi grapes.
And had a photogenic moment.
I was also overjoyed to see Bethany, who dazzled the crowd in an ultra flattering yellow frock.
