Michael and Molly's Wedding, Pacific Palisades CA

Michael and Molly got married last Saturday at Temescal Gateway Park in Pacific Palisades. A few things that I'd never seen happened:

1) Their ceremony was by FAR the most to-the-point ever. 3 minutes long.
2) A tree fell onto the road into the ceremony/reception site at about 1.5 minutes into the ceremony.
3) Molly (and her bridesmaids) do wardrobe in Hollywood, so when Molly decided 30 minutes prior to the ceremony that her veil was too long, they got out some scissors and modified it right then and there. Awesome.
4) Molly's brother John officiated and did a great job. His pronouncement was, "Now by the authority vested in me by the State of California and some sketchy internet website, I pronounce you man and wife." Hilarious.

They had Bonnie and Clyde (their two dogs) be a part of the ceremony, and even had official dog-walkers. :) It was a great day.

The girls decided to show me their best fake laughs ever.

OK, this is hilarious to me. Molly's brother John was the officiant, and when they kissed his facial progression went from "yay!" to "whoa" to "get a room" in about 1.8 seconds. I guess that's what you get when you officiate your sister's wedding. ;) The end of his facial expressions is in the photo on the left:

Molly's dad saved a bottle of bourbon from the day his daughter was born, and opened it on their wedding day and shared it with the guests. Really cool tradition.
