I had breakfast at the hotel with Terry and Marilyn. It is another cool, gloomy day and I have made two changes to what to wear to the outdoor wedding. I ended up with black pants and a light jacket with a shawl over it. We hung out, rested and then took an Uber with the cousins to Wattles Mansion where the wedding will be held.
The place is wonderful. An old style mansion set on a hillside overlooking Hollywood. It is all terraced with beautiful lawns and flowers. Originally a private home, it is now a state park and closed to the public today. On the front lawn lots of games are set up and the younger guests are throwing frisbees and tossing bean bags and even a small plastic pool with fishing rods for the tiniest guests. We found seats with a good view. Inside the house are several rooms where we sit and wait for the ceremony to begin. There are dozens of framed family photos and candles on display. So much fun to explore.

There are several levels in the garden with the kuppah (wedding canopy) at a high level. Everything is beautiful with colorful flowers and a bottle of water on each seat. Finally it is time and the procession begins.

After the ceremony we had a cocktail hour and then were seated for dinner outside. They served a deli buffet with all favorite foods of the bride and groom. Different and delicious. Later there was a hora and dancing and scrumptious desserts from a favorite Jewish bakery. A delightful and creative celebration.
We went back to the hotel for our last night in California. In the morning we took an Uber to the airport which took about an hour and a half. We arrived in Savannah after 11:00 pm.
