Newport Beach Wedding

Congratulations David & Molly!

Molly and I met during her freshman year in college when she joined Alpha Phi Sorority, where I was the Chapter Advisor. After her graduation she lived in Ireland for a year, when she returned to Long Beach, she joined our Advisory Board. Together we advised, and guided, and  brain-stormed…we had such fun bouncing ideas off each other! And although I am almost a quarter-century older than her, we became friends, in addition to being “sisters.” This past Saturday, it was my absolute pleasure, honor and delight to attend Molly & Dave’s wedding!

Here I share photos from Molly and Dave’s Newport Beach wedding. Molly’s flair, her attention to detail, and her clean-crisp style, with accents of daffodils and sand dollars made for an original, breathtaking, and personalized reception at the lovely home of Dave’s parents.

You make me smile like the sun
Fall out of bed, sing like bird
Dizzy in my head, spin like a record
Crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Ohh, you make me smile
