~*~ Jessica and Pat ~*~

Date: April 7, 2007
Place: Lake Tahoe

HERE's a link to Lake Tahoe so you can explore this beautiful spot in Northern California.

HERE's a link to the chapel right on the lake where the wedding will take place

HERE's a link to the hotel where the couple will be honeymooning.
They will be staying in a one bedroom villa in Marriott's Grand Residence Club.
"Amenities include: Spacious dining area, master suite has oversized tub, shower,
full kitchen with cookware and tableware, balcony and fireplace,
TVs, entertainment center in living area, DVD.
Set within the bustling Heavenly Village, Marriott Grand Residence Club,
Lake Tahoe is one of South Lake Tahoe's most desirable destinations.
Convenience prevails, located just steps from the high-speed Heavenly gondola
whisking you to some of the finest skiing in the world.
Enjoy the refreshing pool any time of year.
Pamper your senses with relaxing spa treatments and invigorating workouts."

HERE's a link to the restaurant where we will all dine after the wedding.
I was looking for a restaurant that would be close to the hotel where Pat and Jesica are staying.
This is located right in the same complex.
As soon as I saw the name- Kalani's- I was intrigued and had to check out the menu.
Kalani is the name of Jessica's cat who is named after the famous Hawaiian surfer.
I was hoping it would be like our favorite restaurant, Roy's, and it is.
It's Pacific Rim Fusion cuisine which blends the fresh ingredients of
Hawaiian regional cooking with the flavors of Asian and European spices and sauces.

Here's a photo of the engraved champagne glasses for the wedding toast.
The base is silverplate and white with a ribbon heart design and Swarovski crystals.
One glass says Patrick & Jessica and the other says Jessica & Patrick
and they both have the date engraved: April 7, 2007.

Here's what I'm bringing up for the cake to be served on.
This is a special Villeroy & Boch wedding platter.
The pattern is "Naif" and I have a large collection of this china that I display in a kitchen cabinet.

Some have been wondering what the "Mother of the Bride" is wearing.
Well, I'm not buying a new outfit because I have what I think will be perfect
and I've only worn it on two occasions and both were out of town so no one's really seen it.
Don't be expecting some stodgy outfit either.
The wedding will only last a half an hour so we'll be heading back to the hotel for cake and champagne
and then to Kalani's, the Hawaiian Asian fusion restaurant.
I think this dress will be perfect for Kalani's. I have hot pink strappy sandals to wear with it.

And here's the cute back..

Sorry... forget to show the shoes!
