McComb Family

Friday we headed down to Santa Barbara for Michele and Ben's wedding. It started out like any other McComb road trip -- Bret all of a sudden had a million things to do before we could leave. I was just happy he didn't want to wash the car as well. We got down in there in time to check in, get dinner, and then go to the open house Ben's parents hosted.



The next day we were going to head down to the pier, but there was just too much stuff to do. Briana had left her shoes at home, so we had to go shopping for her. The kids had to swim in the pool. And, of course, somewhere in there we all needed to get ready.



Briana went with Jer over to the house where all the girls were getting ready, because as the official dress-train-holder-arranger she got to ride in the limo over to the ceremony (oh, happy days!!). The rest of us went to the ceremony to set up. Luckily for my mom, Adam fell asleep just as we got there so she got to stay with him in the truck. Bret and I set up chairs and my dad tried to kick people out of their parking spots to reserve them for the wedding party. :) I just wanted to document that sometimes Bret really does do real work (evidence: no beer in hand).

The weather started out a little sketchy, but there was no rain for the ceremony!!! It all turned out perfectly and was a beautiful location for a wedding overlooking the ocean and harbor. Here is Brie in her official position as Michele and Jer get ready to go down the aisle.

She was a happy girl!!!

Yay -- good job!

Michele and her family

Here is Adam sitting dejectedly after being told (for the 12th time) that he's not in that picture either. He tried telling the photographers he wanted to be in them, but no such luck.

Instead we tried to distract him by taking some pictures of our own.

Then we were off to the reception. The centerpiece at our table was beautiful. I kept trying to tell Bret, "No, no...just one martini for me thanks!"

Adam made his presense known and by the end of the night all the girls loved him. Here he is with Michele and Mary.

The cake was beautiful.

Then we hit the dance floor! Here's Bret and my aunt Linda.

Here's Adam busting out his moves in the center of a group of dancers.

I think he was little heavier than Michele thought!!! : )
And finally Briana showing her rocker moves and Jer shaking his groove thang. Hmmm.....I'm not sure which one Michele found so funny!
We had a great time and are so excited for the happy couple. Now we have to find a time to go back when we can spend more time seeing the sights.
