Malibu and Weddings....


Did I ever mention that the Rocket Scientist and I lived in California when we were newlyweds? We lived in the Los Angeles area in the sun and smog. There were so many things I loved about living there. The food, the ocean, the sunsets, the palm trees, the public transportation that I knew like the back of my hand, the Central and South American cultures melting into North American culture, and the ocean breeze.
This past weekend, the Rocket Scientist and I had the pleasure of being apart of our dear friend Kevin's wedding celebration. The Rocket Scientist met Kevin while going to school. I can hardly believe it's been more than 13 years since we left Southern California. For all the places we visited while we lived there, we never once made it to Malibu. I assumed it looked like the rest of the area. I should have known better. Our friend Kevin and his lovely bride were married in Malibu over looking the ocean on Saturday. It was beautiful. Some how that word does not seem to be enough to describe the setting or the wedding. The canyons in the area, I am told are reminiscent of Hawaii, bright green hills only to be broken up by the soft blue/grey of the ocean. The groom so happy I thought he would spontaneously combust and enough love in the air to fill the ocean.

Congratulations Kevin and Angelique! May your years be filled with as much beauty and love as your wedding day.

cool how fun. I wish more people would get married or die so I could take more trips cuz usually we don't go anywhere unless it is such an occasion!
Looks beautiful!

And I LOVE the colors! White and Turquoise have to be my favorite paired colors...perhaps when my ten year anniversary comes around, I will put on a big celebration.

It's beautiful! My bro and sis-in-law live in Malibu and we had a great time visiting them last summer.

I lived in the LA area until I was 10 and have visited family there often. I don't think I have ever been to Malibu. I will have to add it to my list. The wedding looks like it was beautiful!

I'm mostly jealous because you got to have nice weather for a couple of days. Glad you had fun!
