Dennis and Kate met at UC Davis several years ago. They were among a group of students back at UC Davis who in their undergraduate years served as band members or drove the double decked red transit bus or did both. It was one or both activities which facilitated the opportunity for many students to meet one another socially at school. This is how Dennis and Kate met as well as about 30 others who were wedding guests. The UC Davis Alumni Center was the venue for this Saturday’s wedding under beautiful clear skies and temperatures in the high 90s. The wedding took place outside under numerous shade trees. The early ceremony time of 11:30 kept the heat at bay for everyone. Once the ceremony was over it was indoors for the reception.The UC Alumni Center was perfect for the wedding. Cool air conditioning with open doors to the courtyard for drinks and conversation made for a well planned wedding party.
It was apparent Dennis and Kate have strong ties to the campus and the many friends who were the invited guests. There was a very calm feel to the wedding because it was home to Dennis and Kate. One gets the feeling they will be back someday to Northern California when Kate finishes her PhD work down in San Diego. In the mean time Dennis will teach math in San Diego.
Now calm doesn’t equate to boring or sedate-the party after the wedding started with a very fun photo shoot for all the ex bus drivers and mechanics-we were all entertained by ____ I didn’t get his name but he put on one heck of a dancing demonstration for all the bus folks. Quite a few one liners could be heard during and after the break dancing-I think he broke his leg muscles.
The dancing and love toasts kept the party going and Dennis and Kate received many well wishes from all the invitees. Toasts were given and much love was exchanged between Kate and Dennis. I want to say as a couple they were fantastic to work with as they provided great attitudes toward each other and toward having their pictures taken. They even agreed to take a few more after the wedding back at the motel. Its hard to do something like that when emotionally and physically you are just too tired to smile one more time. But they did and we were able to get some pictures we didn’t have time to get earlier in the day. Thanks guys!!! Hope you enjoy the pictures. BQ
