Sandy Reception

5 July 2008

Cami and Kemish had their Sandy reception at my Uncle John and Aunt Elaine's backyard. They have a beautiful backyard and an amazing view.

Cami and Kemish asked Dad to do a ring ceremony for them before the reception began so her friends from high school could be part of the days festivities, too.

Cami had us stand in a line for the first two hours (maybe only an hour and a half). It was a lot of fun to see family, of course, and it was great to see friends we hadn't seen in a while.

Then the fun started. Cami and Kemish danced, Cami and Dad danced and Kemish sang to Cami He sang Josh Groban's "In Her Eyes" and it was fantastic. Good job Kemish! Then they cut they cake, she threw (a.k.a LAUNCHED) her bouquet (Grandma Holyoak caught it after hitting dad right in the chest. Dad was IN BACK of all the girls waiting for the bouquet), Kemish threw the garder, Kemish threw the garder, Kemish threw the garder - I don't know how long that went on. Cami was over zealous in her throw and Kemish couldn't get it past it two feet. Eventually he made it like three feet and my 9 year old cousing Griffin ran and picked it up.

The night ended late, after cleaning up and opening presents. Then I played chauffer and took Lauren and Katherine to their hotel, and Cami and Kemish to their hotel. It was a long trip - who knew there were 2 exits to Redwood road off of 215? Boo on THAT.

All in all it was a fun night and a great day for a wedding. Congrats to Cami and Kemish and getting sealed together forever!
