Erics Wedding

So we are pretty significantly behind on the blog posting, compounded by some sign-in issues between our ISP and Google that I am trying to work thru (yay technical support!)....so this is Brian, even though it says posted by Marisa until Google gets things fixed.

Marisa wrote about our trip to CA earlier. The main reason for the trip was Eric's wedding and she left that one up to me to write about, which seemed fair. We weren't really ever sure this event was going to take place. Not that things might be called off or whatever because once they said they were doing it, I figured it was a done deal, but because I was never sure that Eric would get to this place anyway.

My cousin Eric is his own man, and leads a life fully of his own choosing (which is awesome), BUT not many people would choose that life. He has been working for the Warriors (mainly) since he was 10 years old and is one of the longest serving member of the organization. He loves and is passionate about what he does, it is just a CONSUMING lifestyle. He gets to work with some of the best athletes in the world in a sport that he has loved all his life and it makes him happy (which is more than most of us can say). It is just likely that you'll find him packing bags at 12:30 in the morning or finishing laundry at 2:00 AM. The wedding (and honeymoon) were the end of a pretty special year for "Uncle Eric" as the Warriors won their first NBA title since 1975 and he was on the court and in the locker room for the celebration.

I was never sure that he would find someone willing to put up with, let alone, buy into that kind of lifestyle, but he did! Codi and he are great together and we were thrilled to be able to go to Tahoe and celebrate their big day with them. A world championship followed by a wedding!

The wedding itself was gorgeous, set in Zephyr Cove on Lake Tahoe at dusk. It was a beautiful ceremony and the bride looked stunning. The reception afterwards was a lot of fun with great food and I got to see a lot of family that I haven't seen in a long time. The kids and their cousins had a blast in the photo booth and on the dance floor. Faith got to dance with Codi and Jake got a picture with both the bride and groom. The party ended too early for all the kids but they were exhausted and crashed as soon as we got back to the house.

It was a great trip highlighted by a once in a lifetime event. What a great way to see and spend time with Family. Congrats to Eric and Codi!
