Brighton and Marissa's Wedding in San Simeon

Jennefer and I  just got back from attending a beautiful outdoor wedding, at the end of San Simeon Point, on the central coast of California, just a teeny bit west of Hearst Castle. My nephew Brighton married Marissa, his fiance of two years, after a sweet surprise proposal at Disneyland, one of the places they both love to play. Wishing the two of them the best life ever together!



The one mile walk to the wedding site from the beach parking lot seemed so short, with all the before-and-after wedding excitement, that I barely remembered to take any pictures. I was also preoccupied with trying to run a GoPro video camera that they had given me, as their videographer for the walk out, and the wedding. Here's a pic that I snapped on the way back, with my sister, her best friend, my girlfriend, and my sister's daughter in law. That's William Randolph Hearst State Beach, below us in the background.

The wedding site was so pretty itself, with an awesome Pacific Ocean view, that we almost forgot to look the other way, and notice Hearst Castle up in the hills, just a bit inland from us. The fog was rolling in below us, which made the entire site look beautifully surreal.



We had several fun family breakfast gatherings at the Country Touch Cafe in Atascadero. We also went for a few walks around Atascadero Lake, near my sis's house.
