The Reception

Some of Mitch's Family.  The reception was held at Lot 8 in Mission Valley with beautiful wall decor and plenty of space for food, drinks, bathrooms, displays, games and fun, and tables with beautiful cloths.  The same DJ provided the music and it was fun, lots of dancing.  This was a very happy and fun reception.

Amy, her sister Kelly, and Melissa had many outings together as cousins growing up.

The tablecloths were beautiful and the food delicious.

Grandma Janet with Mitch and Bahia.  Mitch would not let me miss this wedding.  I am so glad I was here.

There was lots of dancing.

Bahia baked her own wedding cake!!!  There were donuts and cupcakes and cookies.  All so good!!!

Most of the Hardys left at dark but many danced on till 11 pm.  Kiera and Eden really liked the dancing.

A tender moment with Eden.  I really like this picture.

 Love this pix with Meagan but why did I keep my sunglasses on? 

The Wedding

It was a very lovely wedding.  The Brother in law told the story of their romance and they each gave their vows.  The music was beautiful as they came down both sides into the setting.  Rugs were used suggesting Bahia's heritage.  She is actually a Moroccan princess!!

Bahia's family

A kiss for history.  All the flowers were done by Bahia and her mother and some were gathered from nature.  Beautiful colors.

Rehearsal Dinner

While some of us were at the rehearsal, some of the wedding people were at Presidio Park holding down the area and setting up the tables and food.  Mitch's aunt and uncle and grandparents and some cousins came from Michigan.  Mitch had friends from Susanville as well as Bahia's mother and grandfather from Lincoln, Ca.

Mitch and his Dad made all the benches that were used at the wedding and the rehearsal dinner and also one of the tables.  They were really nice and they did it because it was cheaper than renting chairs.  It was also more attractive, too.

Mitch was in a boy band group when he was in Susanville and his friends came down and did a lot of the work of moving tables, benches, rugs etc.

Rehearsal for the Wedding

On Friday, August 16 we were invited to the rehearsal in Balboa Park of Mitch and Bahia's wedding.  Stephanie, Carole's daughter, had flown down from Montana and she is taking charge of Maria's dog.

Michael actually came in from North Carolina on Tuesday and flew up to Reno on Wednesday to drive me down to San Diego.  We had a nice visit coming down and we got there in good time.  Bahia's brother in law is going to marry them.

Bahia looks so cute in her cool short dress practicing coming down the walk.

Bahia with her nieces.  They have called Mitch, Uncle Mitch, from the beginning of their romance.  He fit right into the family!
