Valerie and David

My dear friend and colleague, Valerie, was married a few weekends ago at the Santa Barbara Courthouse in the Mural Room. Check out this cute couple on their wedding website: http://www.valerieanddavid.com 

Excited to be at a wedding, our second this year! 

Valerie looked AMAZING! David did too ;)  Their ceremony was filled with laughter, happy tears and personalized to include both of their families in such a special way.

Just married!

There were a few hours in between the ceremony and the reception so we went to the top of the courthouse where there is a spectacular 360 degree view of Santa Barbara. 

We were so happy to be hanging with Nick and Maria, our friends from way back when. Nick actually married me and Todd nine years ago! 

After a little pre-party at Cielito, we headed over to The Creekside for the reception, which by the way, The Creekside and wedding reception don't really go hand and hand given its dive bar status however they transformed the place and the woodsy outdoor area with twinkling lights was magical. It was perfect! Not to mention that it was catered by the next door restaurant, The Bourbon Room. Yum! AND, lucky us, the Southern Belle was back in Santa Barbara. It's cold up in San Francisco, Holley, real cold (and foggy). Don't forget us here!

Beautiful toasts including Val's brother singing a song to his sister that was awesome. It was very Jimmy Fallon-esque and had us all laughing/crying and singing along. 

The Grey Matter Marketing girls! 

My favs!

Todd and Russ

The Groom and Father-of-the-Groom!

How cute are they?!

Valerie's brother's band played some of the music that night and I am pretty sure they are singing "Say It Ain't So" by Weezer right here. 

Valerie's new sister-in-law and a late night wedding dress change!  

Todd hitting up the late night food they brought out, Bourbon Room Sloppy Joe's! 

I had to snag some of the sneak peak shots from Facebook. 

Congrats David and Valerie aka #validlove
