Our wedding on February 2nd, 1998 was very small by necessity, so I thought I'd share some pictures and our vows for those who couldn't be there or for people planning weddings. I will probably add more as I have time, including details of planning that may be helpful to others on a tight budget.
Our minister, a very close friend named Rebecca Grey, also added some comments to the text of the vows that I had. I will add them when I can get her handwritten copy.
The wedding took place in the home of our friend, Deana Meyer. She cooked an incredible Italian dinner for us. Friends Adreanna Riley and Jay Nitikman helped her in the kitchen.
Decorating was done by the daughter of the bride, Ramya Cody. She also made the bride's bouquet and decorated the small cake.
Guests included the groom's parents, Mike and Judy Grassi of Santa Cruz, maternal grandfather Andrew Caviglia, paternal grandmother Olga Grassi and her daughter, Diane Grassi.
Guests of the bride included her daughter, Ramya Cody, and friends Randa-Noel Johnson, Rebecca Grey, Deana Meyer, and Rob Saul.
Music for the processional was taken from The Chieftains Celtic Wedding cd, and after the ceremony Ani DiFranco's version of Amazing Grace was played, along with alternating Italian and Celtic music during dinner.
