Keith and Elisha's Wedding and Reception
October 21, 2006
San Luis Obispo / Pismo Beach
All the photos of the bridal party walking in were blurry since it was so
dark
inside the church. I finally resorted to using my flash (except during certain
moments). First the grandparents from each side of the family walked in, then
Keith and I followed with Keith's dad and his wife immediately following us.
The bridal party came next, and finally Elisha and her parents. The bridal
party stood
at the altar at first, then they were seated for a short period of time.
Everyone (including the bride and groom) were seated while
the priest offered a brief sermon during part of the ceremony.
The ceremony continues with just the bride, groom, maid of honor and best
man standing at the altar. The sunlight shined directly on the priest, creating
an interesting effect.
The vows are given.
The kiss! : )
Introducing the Mr. and Mrs. Keith Hagen!

follows last.

Now... on to the reception!
The reception was held at the Best Western Shorecliff Lodge in Pismo Beach
at sunset. This was one view from the banquet room.
The wedding party arrives at the reception. Unfortunately, the photo of the
bride and groom's arrival turned out too blurry.
They did a nice job decorating the banquet room for the reception. A view
of
the ocean and sunset could be seen from three sides of the room. It was spectacular!

frosting on the tip of his nose.
The newlyweds dance their first dance as husband and wife.
Next, the bride danced with her father, and Keith and I danced.
The dance continues.
This concludes my photos of the wedding and reception. Following are
photos taken on our way back home the next day. We stopped near Santa Barbara
to do some wine tasting and to have lunch at the Cold Springs Tavern, a favorite
hangout for bikers.

says,
"Consilence.... NOT featured in Sideways." (the movie)
Arriving at Cold Springs Tavern. The road is lined with motorcycles
and bikers (and anyone else who wants to join in).
Lunch inside Cold Springs Tavern, just northeast of Santa Barbara.

This bikerdog did a great job guarding the bike. Nothing persuaded him from
leaving his post! He was so cute!
I thought bikerdog was going to jump ship, but he stayed the course!
Bikerdog says goodbye as we head on home. It was such a
wonderful weekend and wedding!
