The wedding was held at The Pacific Edge House in Vacation Village Hotel on Laguna Beach. Basically, there's a beach house that's part of the hotel, designed specifically for hosting large events such as weddings. It comes with 3 refrigerators (whoa momma) in a gorgeous cook's kitchen, an incredible patio with waves crashing right up to it, and loads of space for party goodness. What's brilliant about it, is that the families can all stay in the one house (they had 12 sleeping there), and it can be a hub for major wedding activities, such as the rehearsal dinner or day-after brunch... as well as the main event.
The night before, they hosted a delicious mexican fiesta rehearsal, with a taco bar and margaritas that the families made earlier that day! We ate cocktail style, very informally - which was great because it gave us all a chance to catch up with old friends and get to know new ones.
The day of the wedding, most of us hung out on the beach, riding the huge waves right in front of the beach house. I even braved the ocean and swam, too! I've never seen such big waves on such a tiny shore. It was nature's wave pool :) The weather was perfect, and we got to see dolphins swimming just off shore.

The big reveal!
One of the most beautiful brides, ever. Girls, that is a bridesmaids dress she's wearing, and it cost a fraction of normal gown prices! Woot!
Look at his face! SO sweet.
Stay tuned for the ceremony, reception, and more!
