A lucky day for a wedding!


My first comment has to be about the most wonderful shoes to match an impossible-to-match dress color. Can you believe these perfect shoes? Thank you Nordstrom! LOL

















The ya-yas strike a pose.



















Mother of the Bride - and she doesn't even trip or fall or lose her shoe! Well played, Joy!























Here comes the groom! Maybe a little nervous, but he sailed through the BAR EXAM last week, so what's a little wedding thrown in?

















Will and Joy watch as James walks down and mom smiles but does not cry!


















He looks so much like his father. And we all missed Ken on this important day.

















Ta-Da! The bride in the first of three gowns!

















And then my camera battery died! arggghhh!

Martha's Rocky Ledge Bars

Quadruple the recipe to serve 50 after Willy's wedding rehearsal dinner in the park. That's a lotta dough! Look at the mixer when I finished!


















Butter and line 4 pans with parchment paper. Butter the parchment paper. As if we needed to add one more stick of butter Then pour in the chewy tollhouse style dough - made with lots of brown sugar and vanilla. Top with chunks of semi sweet chocolate, white chocolate, butterscotch, chewy caramels and miniature marshmallows. My teeth hurt just thinking about all the sugar! But they were the perfect mix of chewy and sweet. They turned out great and they were a big hit! (If you'd like the recipe, just let me know)


The bakery provided the delicate pink and orange hearts and lemon bars that weren't too sweet.


















Speaking of sweet, you should have seen the groom and his blue eyed brother work the 'room' and thank their guests! Great fun, a great family, and tonight is the big wedding! Can't wait!
