They had their wedding about three weeks ago at the Benbow Inn in Garberville, CA.
My mom, dad, Sophie, and I drove together in one car on Thursday morning, and the wedding is on Saturday. It took about five hours to get there. We had a great time driving there, stopping several times for food/bathroom breaks. 😊
We stayed at a campground with cabins, so we got to stay in one. We were very close to Benbow Inn (where Jonathan and Julia were getting married), which was very nice!
Here is a pic of Benbow Inn:
We had the rehearsal dinner just across from the Inn in a park, which was great since they already had super long tables there. We set everything up and bought super good pizzas from a local restaurant called "The Lost Frenchman." They had all types of pizzas with different cheeses, meats, etc. There was enough for all the people who came, which was about thirty people.
After we ate, we took family photos and then explored the park. We had a great time!
The next day was the wedding day!!
I got to the Inn early in the morning to do my sister's hair for the wedding. After I did hers, I did Sophie's. Here's what it looked like:
After spending some time at the Benbow Inn, I went back to our cabin, rested, and ate. Then got ready for the wedding. My hair took like two hours to do! I was crimping it, and that takes a lot longer than curling it. Anyway, when we were all ready, we headed out!
Everything was so beautiful!! And I loved Julia's wedding dress. It was the best wedding dress I've ever seen. She had, like, a cape with it. And some jewelry in her hair. It was giving elvish vibes! I loved it so much. It was so beautiful. Here's a pic of it:
I told myself I wouldn't cry... but there was no way of holding it in. Jonathan and Julia started to cry too as they said their vows. I don't think I've really seen Jonathan cry before. So that made me even more emotional. It was so sweet. 💕
We had the reception on the top of the Inn, outside. Again, it was so gorgeous!! They had a drink bar and served delicious food like steak, potatoes, vegetables, and much more.
After dinner, there was cake and then dancing! I had a blast. I danced mainly with Noelle and also led a line dance.
Then the bride and groom said goodbye! Everybody had sparklers as they ran through the line. The whole day was a success!😁
