1. Lauren and Derek are a part of my longtime hometown, church community in Danville, CA.

2. Thus, there were many many of my great friends from the past = reunion of sorts!

3. I have never seen a more cut-throat battle for the bouquet in all my days with weddings. (A MUST SEE at end. Hysterical!)

4. The bride wore purple shoes. My wedding color!

5. I had one of the most memorably embarrassing moments of my professional career. (Ahem..I called someone a “grandmother” who was not, in fact, a grandmother) Thank goodness this family loves me.

6. The Darlington House in San Diego is seriously “darling” – can I rename it the “Amazing Photo Location House”???? Boutique and adorable.
