Akvile+Zane ~ Santa Margarita Wedding!

July 21, 2017

“Baby I’m your star, but you lookin for a superhero…”

Akvile+Zane ~ tied the know at their parent’s home in Santa Margarita! When I first heard from Akvile+Zane (and heard their names), I suspected they were superheroes. After their wedding today, it was certainly clear that they are. A simple, sweet & intimate gathering with family & friends. Each special guest was greeted with a custom caricature at their table! (a nice touch). The day grew sweeter as these two tied the knot, shared their first dance & took in kind words from all of their friends! After the sun dipped behind the nearby mountain range, the full moon rose to keep the party going!

Tell these two newlyweds what you think in the comments below!

Happy Groundhog Day! (to Jackie & Ryan ~ these beautiful two souls…but enough about their adorability)…

Let’s talk more about Groundhog Day!

The one holiday that represents…nothing. Yes, there may be some shenanigans in the selection process of the “purest” breeding practices and bloodlines of groundhogs (solid build, symmetrical features…or, maybe what it comes down to is which groundhog is the most chill and least likely to bit the guy in the pilgrim hat…what’s his deal…?) but all seems quite arbitrary.

The fact that some early settlers believed that whether or not a groundhog sees its shadow on Feb. 2nd has anything to do with the duration of winter is so stony, (however, to be fair, so too are most superstitions in cultures everywhere), I just feel like most of them actually have a story that’s cool enough to be categorized as “myth”…with a protagonist, antagonist, superhuman feats that could be performed only by “God-like” characters, plot twists, etc. Not here. It’s just a chubby groundhog coming out for a snack for no apparent reason other than we need something that casts a shadow…, and yeah, let’s pick the shortest creature so it’ll never be definitive whether or not that shadow is really there. And they can’t assess this just anywhere in Punxsutawney, PA… it must be done at Gobbler’s Knob. Great shadow-casting there. The best.

I love Groundhog Day because it is so trivial. Someone just thought, it’s been too long since MLK day, Presidents’ Day is too far away, and I sure am getting bored with winter…can we get an arbitrary holiday already? Yes. Yes, we can.
