We kicked off the fun the day before. Jo-Jo gave Lancer some sweet Tiffany engraved cuff-links, and we ate pizza and salad. Joe--the Groomie--regaled us with his troll doll story (don't ask) and when we went to Fisherman's Wharf to play. It was a nice warm night--very UN-San Francisco.
Susan, Jo's sister, and Asian Baby, the flower girl!
We also got gorgeous matching pearl necklaces to wear the next day. Thanks Bridie!
The Big day!
Jo-Jo's fabulous shoes!
This is me with Husbie, stealing a moment--it was our 6th anniversary, afterall. More on that later.
I love this picture of them. This is so Jo-Jo!
They got hitched on the Mandarin Oriental Skydeck 40 floors up. Seriously--can you get a better backdrop for a SF wedding? It was amazing! No clouds, fog, or weirdos in view.
Here they are taking the plunge. See the hot Preacher Man?? I made out with him all night. That's less scandalous when you see it was Lancer. He was the officiant. Funny, yes?? He did a great job. I wrote the vows, and he delivered them with grace and panache. Good job Preacher Man! (Side Note: Brooke helped me realize this is a confusing factoid. In CA, you can get deputized for a day, and this allows you to marry anyone, regardless of religion. LJ is *not* really a Preacher/Priest/Officiant. He just plays one on TV.)
Done and done! Mr and Mrs Sparks!!
You should always make time for a little booty grab. Nice one Jo-Jo!
The Groomsmen...I love the one with the veil
The cake with the adorable vintage cake topper
After some relaxing, we headed to Harlot for a night of dancing. It was quite the cast of charachters. If ever I doubted that I am a boring suburbanite deep down...this crowd reminded me that I am.I broke my heels off during the wedding, so I had to throw on the flip-flops. It was a nice touch.
Sharing a Shirley Temple with Jo-Jo!
Drive off into the sunset crazy kids! Love you! I'm so glad the obese twinners Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle Dum didn't clear out your buffet table. Or maybe they did, since I only heard about the shrimp cocktail--I didn't actually get any. Looking forward to the official pics from the big day.
XOXO

you look gorgeous- and so does that wedding! Happy 6 years to you too!
I only got half a bite of shrimp cocktail and a crab cake. Boo! But from those that had food I heard it was yummy...
I am completely intrigued. These photos are beautiful. I'm absolutely smitten with San Francisco and I'm so jealous of that view. I still feel like I know nothing about you--How did Lancer marry the two of them--is he some sort of priest or official? Is this a dumb question? You look so beautiful and not-fat! In fact, you look amazing. What a gorgeous wedding.
The view that day was perfect. I have never seen SF so clear in my 15 years here. Lucky girl!
So--you can get deputized for a day by the state of California. Anyone can do it, regardless of background or religions. So--we're totally Mormon, but he presided over their wedding as an officiant. He even gave a Mormon prayer. ;)
As I always say, you are a hottie potate. Smart and funny too!
Thanks for clearing that up--I was totally confused because your husbie looks so Mormon :-)! I forgot to tell you that I love the picture of the groomsmen the best--it should be on a CD cover or something.
Brooke called me this morning asking if Lance was a Priest. Classic.
You looked hot and so did the bride! You and Lance really will party til you die.
And now that the wedding's over, you are free to get fat!
