Prior to heading up for the wedding, we met Rich's family in Port Hueneme for some beach action and family time. After the beach, we ate yummy pizza for dinner and played Apples to Apples back at the hotel. The following day we visited a little street fair and then headed up to Santa Barbara for some wedding fun.
The wedding began right as the park was shutting down, so there wasn't a problem with onlookers. It was a nice lush setting for the ceremony, followed by a reception on a hill with a view of the ocean (past the giraffes!). Plus, there was a lovely view of the SB countryside as well. But back to the giraffes--as part of the wedding package, guests were able to feed the giraffes in between the ceremony and reception. How fun, right?!
Obviously, I'm kind of smitten with the whole thing. Not that I didn't LOVE my wedding, but I'm totally crazy over A) animals, B) ocean views and C) Santa Barbara.
I just want to say that since I saw these pictures, I have SERIOUSLY cut my bangs. Why didn't anyone tell me I had curtains over my eyes?! Whoops. Warning to the ladies: bangs are high maintenance!...but so worth it. Thanks Em!
Since the wedding I've been craving a trip down to the San Diego Zoo. Rich and I used to go all the time when we were dating--we were even members! It was one of our favorite things to do together. Perhaps when we have little munchkins of our own we will become members again and take them to see all the animals! One day... :)

Oh man, I hate it when my bangs grow out and don't feel bad I never know my bangs are too long until I see myself in a picture and can't see my face!!
