On Christmas Eve, Daniel and I celebrated a "day date" and drove up from Oceanside to Beverly Hills for Jennifer's (D's cousin) wedding. The weather was perfect, and it was a traffic-free drive. We made it to LA in less than an hour and 30 minutes. Jennifer and Mark were married at Beverly Hills Presbyterian Church on Rodeo Drive. A first for me. Their reception was at the Huntley Hotel in Santa Monica. Another first. Both the ceremony and the after party were fantastic. The church was historic. The bride and groom drove in her dad's 1930's Auburn to the reception. And The Huntley Hotel was A-MAZING!! We were able to enjoy the city of Santa Monica on one end of the penthouse and on the other end was the Pacific Ocean. You could also see planes taking off from LAX, which I always find fascinating. Lots of wine, spirits, and food filled the room along with laughter and cheer. I would LOVE to celebrate my and Daniel's anniversary at the Huntley. WOW! And I was especially grateful to have had the opportunity to renew my own vows to Daniel (quietly) as we celebrated the beginning of Mark and Jennifer's new life!
