Rob & Christina's Wedding Week In Monterey
Round 2

With the wedding behind us on Sunday 2/25, my wife, Christina, slipped into a shirt with her new last name emblazoned on it

After getting married on Hidden beach in Carmel, we drove back to our rented home for dinner and fun with friends and family

Our dinner was a gift from very close friends who couldn’t be at the ceremony and began with a fantastic spread of meats, chesses, veggies, and more

Soon, people started arriving…and my wife seems quite surprised that she’s being photographed here

Eventually, it was just a great night with friends, family, and Dawn

We woke up Monday morning with plans only to be married and be together and enjoy the ocean and each other…so, of course, we enjoyed our first bottle of sparkling wine as a married couple

From there, we did what we love to do…we played games with each other while my wife disgusted the world by pairing her sparkling wine with sour candy

Everyone knows that pork rinds are the ideal accompaniment to sparkling wine…duh

Later, she switched to Flamin’ Hot Cheetos…what are we doing here?

Eventually, out came Jenga (wife pictured behind tower)

The game as always, started slowly as we worked on the foundation

At this point, I am already 5 steps ahead of her…
Round 1

Let’s just start with the money shot…Christina and I got married Sunday afternoon (2/25) on Hidden Beach in Carmel, CA. It was a very small, private, casual ceremony as we both wanted

With that established, let’s back-up. We drive the corvette to our rented beach home and packed every single corner of it

That’s right…all of this fit in the back of the Corvette. Years of Tetris paid off yet again

Since the house literally sits on the beach facing the ocean, it is only accessible from the rear (giggity). Up a ramp…and tis picture does not do justice to the incline.

So, the trick is to use these community-provided carts

It’s not ideal, but it gets the job done…with just a little fear

Add in a little drama, and eventually the luggage arrives

Once we got settled, Christina decided the windows needed to have some salt air cleaned off of them so that we could enjoy the view. So….she got to it

She even found a mini-squeegee to make sure we could enjoy the view

The day before the wedding we spent with Christina’s family, who flew in from Texas and had never really experienced Monterey, so of course we did the 17-mile-drive

And my mother-in-law photo bombed us

Which just thrilled Christina to death…notice the expression on my face never changes. If this radio thing doesn’t work out I’m going to become a figure at Madame Tussauds.
