Have you been to Tilden Park? Have you been to Orinda? If you haven’t, you need to take a visit. Jessica and Kyle got married at the Brazilian Room in Tilden Park. It was my first time in the area and I was impressed. It felt like I was driving to a camping site (except I wasn’t worried about bears or whether there would be hot water). Big trees, blue skies, and the smell of forest all around. I even got a big bug bite to prove my adventure was authentically outdoors. Truth be told though, I think I was the only one to get bit and I am traditionally a bug magnet. ☺
Jessica and Kyle don’t enjoy being the center of attention. I think that’s why I nearly chuckled out loud when during their ceremony (at a point where their officiant had just spoken about the fact they don’t like to be too showy), a little girl from the park ran up to them and stared. She smiled and yelled back at her mom “Look, they are getting married!” Giggles and she ran away.
At their wedding, they clearly made the day about hanging out with friends and enjoying the experience. Lots of dancing. Great conversation. And hopefully they didn’t mind being a little bit of the center of attention for just a day…because we all sure enjoyed it.
