Dan's wedding was a multi day event of epic proportions. Everything went perfectly and people had a great time.
On Friday everybody played golf then in the evening there was a huge rehersal dinner at a great Italian Restaurant that was near the Hotel.
The wedding was at the Marriot in Marina Del Rey. Everybody stayed here too. This lobby area became the gathering point for everybody all weekend. It was a blast sitting around telling stories. A cooler and a case of beer showed up. The manager came by a couple of times and said that people shouldn't be drinking beer in the lobby. Everybody said that they wouldn't. Then somebody would show up with another case.
The Rehearsal Dinner was a HUGE party. We pretty much took over the place.
My mom does a great job of meeting and greeting. She was in her element
There were speeches and merry making. The rehearsal dinner was a super fun party.
Most of these people were Dan's friends since grade school. They came from all over the US.
Hard core IU fan's were Dan's kind of people
Then on Saturday 4-20-2013 the big day finally arrived. The wedding was outdoors on top of the Marriot with a great view.
The ceremony was the best ever. In true Dan fashion the wedding was funny and short and beautiful.
The venue was amazing with a panoramic view that overlooked everything
Dan's nieces and nephews played an important role!
I happened to have a video of my Mom's speech
This is a picture of Dan's Mom and all of her siblings. Dan was super happy that they could all attend.
There was lots of cheers and jokes and celebration was rolling on in full force!
Dan and his friends had a long time tradition of buying roses from street vendors and then beating each other with them. To Dan this was the funniest thing ever.
Everybody that attended said that it was the best wedding ever.
