Monica and Brandon - or - Stop 3 on C Squared Events World Tour 7/20

First the Peruvians at Coyote Hills.
Then came the Armenians at the Irvine Marriott.
This time it was a very mixed multi cultural event, but there was a definite Swedish flavor to the evening.
Monica and Brandon tied the knot at Lantern Bay Park in Dana Point, and then the fun continued at The Beach House restaurant just down the street from the ceremony. Monica was a member of Gamma Phi Beta at UC Irvine and I have had the pleasure to meet and get to know many of her sisters and even performed for them a time or two, and the did not disappoint. As you couples start planning your wedding you might be tempted to pick a Friday or Sunday as the date for your reception, those dates are usually cheaper but some will tell you that your guests will not be able to let loose on a Sunday.... Survey says.... Wrong. Monica and Brandon's guests embraced the Sunday evening and after very little nudging was ready to go. They danced the night away and at 11pm, when the venue said "Umm your done" they wanted more, and I was glad to deliver.
Monica and Brandon are a great couple, something I have been blessed with this year, I have thoroughly enjoyed working for all my Brides and Grooms. I end up getting caught up in the emotion of the evening. When 1/2 of Monica's Maid's of Honor Natalia started telling the story of how the night Brandon met Monica he had to buy her a number of drinks to keep her occupied, I laughed, when Brandon with tears in his eyes started to thank his bride, well, I didn't cry cause I'm a man and we don't cry. I merely got something in my eye, which caused it to water, that's all.
Monica, who could be the poster girl for the C Squared Events world tour, has a father who hails from Sweden and her mother is from Latin America so this is the first event where I have had the chance to play yodeling and Celia Cruz in the same event. Monica's dad had several relatives who flew in for the Wedding, which lead to some very humorous moments.
Then there was Wendy....... Need I say more.
The next stop on the C Squared Events World Tour is another dual stop. The bride is from Pennsylvania but lives in Ireland which just happens to be where her Fiance is from.
