| our guests rented out the hotel, the ceremony was in the courtyard/ bar area, reception was poolside. |
[...]
 |
| we wanted an informal, yet intimate feel, so guests were not seated and drank champagne during the ceremony. cheers! |

 |
| the sand ceremony: matts parents and my parents each poured a jar to represent our foundation, matt (green) and i (purple) poured ours in together and they mixed, then Dawn Marie poured in a jar of the natural color to "seal" our joining. it was a really neat experience and a great way to incorporate the glass fire pit into ceremony! |
 |
| my aunt painted this tree and guests were asked to "leaf their thumbprint and sign their name". most amazing guest book ever. |
 |
| im not a cake fan, but this was AMAZING. all the guests thought so too. credit goes to Pastry Swan in Cathedral City. top layer: key lime and bavarian creme; middle: mango and bavarian creme rum cake, bottom: strawberry and bavarian creme strawberry cake. i grabbed some neat look greenery from Trader Joe's for them to use to decorate. |
 |
| Poolside reception with toasts, cake, more champagne, and then really yummy bar-b-que. good thing we thought to include tide sticks on everybody's table! |
