Brooke Gets Married

The beautiful wedding dress hung around, waiting to be put to use...(photo by Lana Lee Photography)

And later that afternoon, it was time for the ceremony.

While India and Vics watched, Wilbur wanted out!

At the end of the ceremony, Veuve Clicquot was served...

And everyone lifted their glass in a toast to the newlyweds.
Till tomorrow,
Love, Maia

Maia & the Windy City

It was time to visit Dolce's hometown.

I was just glad we left Dolce at home.

Because India wants to bring her next time.

I hope she changes her mind. Dogs here don't walk.

We heard one man say, as he walked by our table at Cru (now called "Feast"), "These dogs have more legs than I do and they get pushed in strollers."

There was a dog convention at the adjoining table.

A 17 pound Yorkie named Tyson stopped by our table.

I really didn't care to meet him.
Till tomorrow,
Love, Maia

Brooke Gets Ready to Tie the Knot

Guests chatted while waiting for the wedding to begin.

Brooke's brother Eric was home from Iraq.

Vics looked lovely in her Amsale dress!

Caterers were busy setting up.

The FOB--Father of the Bride--had plenty to do.

Brooke headed for the photo shoots,

climbed the walls of Laurel Circle...

...and had a romantic, pre-wedding kiss.
Till tomorrow,
Love, Maia

Neil and Pat and Felicia and Ben at Journey

It was a reunion of sorts with Neil and Pat when Felicia and Ben met them at the Journey Concert.
Journey played all the favorites.

The singer who is taking the original's place was spot-on.

Apparently he is a Filipino who did impersonations, and the group hired him.

He was also easy on the eyes.

As was Felicia's fiancé, Ben.
Till tomorrow,
Love, Maia
