Joe and Kristen's Wedding

Just nine months after my niece Amy's wedding in Colorado, her baby brother Joe had his own wedding in California. Joe and Kristen were married in Camarillo, just outside Los Angeles. The reception was held at the Rancho de las Palmas stables. There were no horses to be found, but the lavish grounds had a beautiful fountains and a pond with an island. The biggest hit at the rececption was the chocolate fountain. Women stampeded to it as soon as it became available. I was able to fend off the throngs to get a taste myself. Both the wedding and reception were very nice. Unfortunately, poor Jamie had to stay home since she was nearing her due date. Even worse for Jamie, was that my family and I went to Disneyland the next day before heading home.
