Oceano Beach!!

September 27, 2003

 
We went to the wedding of a long-time friend of ours, Andreas Campos, to his gorgeous fiancé, Sheila.  We were one of the early-birds to arrive - this is a picture of our parking spot.
The couple had rented a huge home that was on the sand and had an awesome view.  This is Patrick slaving away in the preparations while I casually sip my drink and take pictures from the deck.
This is Andreas (Andrew) on the left and "Preacher Bob" on the right.  Andrew & Sheila have a surfer crash-pad two doors from PCH in Huntington Beach and Bob is a friend who lives in one of the other units.  Bob isn't a minister or anything, he works in construction and got licensed the day before to do civil weddings.  I think Bob was as nervous as the bride & groom, but he did an awesome job!
The idea was to have the stereotypical beach motif, which they pulled off on-the-money!  How many of us can say that we were comfortable at our wedding, standing there with sand between our toes and watching the perfect California sunset while saying our vows?
"Come on, get it over with - I want to PARTY!!"  Great shot of the couple.
So they're on a budget.  The rings were in a Cracker Jack box that was passed down the line of guys to the left.  Andrew told me of how he asked Sheila to marry him.  He put the rings in a little treasure chest and rigged a note that would pop-up to pop-the-question.  He took her scuba diving and planted it where she was sure to find it. 

You know Andrew, it's guys like you who make the rest of us look bad!
Das kiss.  They are now a family.
Hey!  Wait a minute!  The first time he turns his back and she's hugging the preacher!  Durn... I want to be the preacher next time... ;-)
OK, Finally!!   Time to PARTY!!! 

An awesome time was had by all.  They really threw a great shindig.  The next day they were off to Hawaii for a week or two.  Congratulations, Andrew & Sheila.
