So after lots of planning, Dara and Zach got married on April 18th. The wedding was at the Rockefeller Lodge in San Pablo, a very nice place. There were lots of guests, Zach is from a large family, and there was a great turnout from Doug's family also. Dara looked beautiful, she wore my dress. Aisling and Dara's friend Emily were bridesmaids and wore lovely green dresses. And Aidan was, of course, the cutest baby around. Gordon officiated, so the ceremony was brief. The food was served by the catering company at the Rockefeller, Partytime catering, and I highly recommend them. The food was good, and the service was excellent. We brought the drinks and the cake ourselves, and Dara decorated and prepared flowers. All in all it was a lovely day. Photos can be seen here.
We had several out of town guests, including my mother who came over from Ireland and Gordon's brother and sister-in-law from Omaha. We did some sightseeing and other things after the wedding. Aidan had an accident at Dim Sum on Saturday, they may never let us back! Aisling insisted on taking my mother to various thrift stores, her favorite, and we also did some of the tourist haunts in San Francisco. Unfortunately, the Boudin museum was closed. We also went to Figaro at the Berkeley Rep - opera, not exactly my cup of tea! All in all, we had a good visit with my mother and she seemed to enjoy it.
