Yesterday we got to go to a very fun and beautiful wedding. Marco Marchini and I teach together at Monte Vista. In fact, I was on the hiring team when he was hired 6 years ago. He married Catie who is a nurse at St. Joseph's Hospital in Stockton.
The quartet I play in played the preservice music at the cathedral where the wedding took place. And then we played for cocktails as everyone was coming into the Stockton Civic Auditorium. This place was an old auditorium where UOP used to play basketball. They made it look like a bigtop. The whole room was draped in white cloth so you couldn't see all the seats in the balcony. The flowers and decorations were breathtaking. My pictures don't do it justice because of the lighting. Hopefully you'll be able to tell a little about how lovely it was.
All of us Monte Vista teachers had a great time talking, laughing, dancing, drinking, eating, etc. Good call on the open bar, Marco! They even created a drink for the night called the "Marchini." It was X-rated vodka and champagne. Yummy!
