Eva & Andrew were wed last week in a gorgeous private residence right on the sand in Laguna Beach. It was the hottest day of the week, but that only made for a more beautiful beach day!
Dining service for the event was provided by the ever-scrumptious Jay’s Catering, hair and makeup by Lisa Liu, flowers by Dana Belinda, cake designed by Cinderella Cakes, wedding service officiated by Rev. Chip Fisher, and ceremony music by Karen the cellist from Breezy Strings.

Carol’s stunning Kenneth Poole wedding dress, with Badgley Mischka “Randee” shoes.
All of Carol’s single girl friends wrote their names on the bottoms of Carol’s shoes—custom dictates that the first to rub off will be the next to marry!
Love Carol’s expression as a helper hangs the dress for her
Meanwhile, Pete was prepping in his apartment nearby while family arrived to wish him well. Photo by Matt.

Another custom: Some of Pete’s male relatives/friends delivered Carol’s shoes and helped her put them on. She pretended they didn’t fit, so they had to stuff them with money!

Pete allowed his cousins and male friends to help him shave, in accordance with tradition. Image by Matt.
Matt had the good fortune of accompanying Pete with half the wedding party through the street to the church.
Heads were turned, to say the least
Once at the church, there was a traditional “tug of war” as the bride made her way up the steps slowly, trying to get Pete to meet her halfway.
LOL
(Pete conceded one step forward)
I think they might have pulled a hair putting Carol’s stefana on!
