The day is spent mostly in preparation for the evening.
Valerie and Abbey are hosting tonight's celebration.
It's another perfect California evening. And the restaurant is mostly outside.
The mood is joyous.
The bride is wearing an exquisite dress that accentuates her classic beauty.
And the grand matriarchs (my mom who will be 93 in June) and Rita (who will be 99 in August) look like the fabulous, vibrant women they are.
My sister Jean and her family are here from the Cape, including Sally who lives in Barcelona.
And Michael looks both handsome and California cool.
The food is great, but the many speeches are the highlight of the night.
The MC, a close friend of the couple, is a stand-up comedian and commands the room. He is very very funny.
Abbey and Val are first.
Followed by many others. Both Dom and Michael have more close friends than most people have as friends.
It's interesting to hear all the stories and tributes. I've known Michael of course from day one, but still, I learn new things.
And Dom I've met only a few times, but already I see the warmth and goodness in her. The theme of everyone who speaks of Dom is of her big big heart.
Even though it can be uncomfortable to be the object of so many humorous and touching (and even embarrassing) stories, you can see how much the almost-married couple enjoys it.
