08/08/2026 A Wedding in California

  A Wedding in California

Rebeca & Ryan

08/08/2026 


The event held at the Canyon House in Rancho Mission Viejo was awesome. Hot...but awesome.

In August of 2024, Ryan and Beca first met playing soccer.

In August of 2025, Ryan asked Beca's parents for their blessing.

In August of 2026, Ryan and Beca joined together as one in marriage with a crowd surrounding them with love and support. 

Photos weren't allowed during the ceremony so I'll have to wait for the finals when they are received from the photographer(S).  From the 118 I took, I've selected the most meaningful for me...My Family.

A beautiful setting with no shade on a very, very warm day. Ceremony at 3:00 p.m. with cocktails at 3:30 p.m. Beside the Maid of Honor (Sister Sara) and the Matron of Honor (Ryan's sister, Katie) there were eight bridesmaids. Brother Luke, the Best Man was accompanied by eight Groomsmen. About 140 guests were in attendance.

The reception, first dance and speeches at 4:30 p.m, all outdoors.

Table by table announcements allowed guests to serve themselves with the Mexican themed buffet.

    1. Thanks. Those "moves" came with a price. When I think of how I danced with daughter years ago from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. ... Alas, those days are gone. I'm saving up the strength to do it again at the next wedding.

    What a wonderful experience to be in a front row seat. Everything and everybody looked amazing. So happy for Becca. My first memory was of MB brining her into the main office at BMMS in a stroller. She was adorable then and gorgeous now, especially with the love emanating between them. Best wishes, meilleurs vœux, os mellores, and auguri to the new couple. ~ vc

    1. Thanks, VC.Memories like that remind me...and us... just how quickly time flies. In the blink of an eye. My folders of grandkids taken over many years are flooded with.little people and their childhood activities. Now, to see them as young adujlts, healtthy and successful in lives of their own is an experience worth its weight in gold.

    1. Thank you. The reverse is true as well. They (my children and their children) have done me proud more than anyone can imagine. I marvel at their achievements, their work ethic, their moral compass; everything about them is amazing. No one is more proud than me.

    1. LOL. Yes, we are here but for a short time. We came, we saw, we reproduced and soon we will leave for distant galaxies.

    1. When next we meet, let's discuss the phrase, "still going strong!" There's illusion and there's reality. But yes, a one-of-a-kind family I'm happy to have had a part in making.
