Michael and Maria’s wedding was held at Nestldown in Los Gatos. This weekend’s wedding was held under some of the best summer weather conditions a wedding can have during the day. Once the sun started setting the cool breezes kicked in and created a rather chilling time for the guest’s outdoor dining pleasure. The best part of the cold breezes was it allowed the evenings festivities to start sooner with great music and wild dancing. We even were serenaded by a brass band made up of Michael’s friends who agreed to play a song for all those in the audience.
Nestldown is such a magical place reminiscent of an adult Disneyland. The Nestldown site was originally designed to be used by non-profit organizations serving disadvantaged or disabled individuals, or those in crisis/transition. It was developed to be used directly in support of the individuals whose needs they serve. As such, it is provided by the owners at no-cost or a very low cost to a limited number of organizations per year.
Nestldown was such a cool place to hold a wedding. It was made even more perfect because Michael and Maria are a couple made for each other through their sense humor. They are always each others biggest booster. They also serve to be on alternating giggles, each others straight man then comedian. Laughs filled Nestldown all day at every stage of the wedding day process. Michael always had a big smile on his face and Maria was always cutting up with a zinger or two to the listening audience of bridesmaids and onlookers. It really didn’t get too serious all day until the final vows were taken and then toasts at dinner came around. Harold, who is Mari’s father, shed a few tears as he gave a very emotional toast for Michael and Maria. A good father cry, a couple of I love yous and hugs to Michael as his new son-in-law were all he needed to get past the tears. Of course the audience was right there with him as all the parents knew of what he had to say and felt. The younger members of the party knew Michael was getting a great father and mother-in-law.
Cheers to Michael and Maria, may the marriage be a happy journey to your destination through life together. BQ
