Chris and Rahul Tie the Knot

On October 1st two of our best friends here, Chris and Rahul, got married. It was a beautiful ceremony at a nearby winery, La Redonda, and one of the most fun receptions I've been to. He is originally from Germany and she's from the US, so there were guests in from all over the world to celebrate with Rahul and Chris. Chris loves bright colors, so the wedding was very Mexican-themed, and fit her perfectly.

The flower girl


I caught the early kiss when they first came

together in front of everyone

Unfortunately, it was a cloudy day and a little chilly.

I think it was the first cloudy day since the boys'

birthday party! Ethan came with us to the ceremony

because he is close with Chris and Rahul as well.

He needed to borrow Daddy's jacket!

Chris looked so beautiful!

The both wrote their own vows and did such a

great job! It was so touching.

Love these two...me, Chris, and Sarah

Rahul loves to dance and definitely enjoyed himself at his wedding!

The dance floor was so packed, but we found another place to dance

with our props. Anna pulling Roberto onto the dance floor with the balloon

The crazy Germans



Lars looking very chic with Sarah's scarf!



This picture is so funny. They were not kissing. Rahul

was pouring tequila into everyone's mouth and I just happened

to catch Lars at the end of his tequila shot....oops!
Sarah....I think she was thinking of her wedding

that's coming up in a few weeks!



What a great party! We left at 2 a.m. and it was still going strong!


Congratulations, Chris and Rahul!
