July 20, 2008 � Shutters on the Beach, Santa Monica, CA

Jennifer & Mark were married today in an American style wedding with Korean & Japanese influences. Their eleven year relationship was celebrated among close friends and family with an intimate 98 guests. The wedding party; made up of close friends and family, also included their beloved Ben. Their furry friend has been with them for quite some time and considered a member of the family; to no surprise on why Ben served as their ring bearer. Their guests were treated with the best of the best with an open bar, including Japanese beer favorites: Asahi & Saporo and a 4 course meal. Plus a fabulous wedding cake by Nancy Kay�s Confections. Jennifer really wanted a tall cake, so Nancy created pho tiers to compensate for the height. The top 3 tiers were the real cake�it was flawless! Available for those who worked up an appetite on the dance floor, was a buffet of midnight snacks, including nothing but comfort foods, served in a chic style of course. These included: Mini cheeseburgers, Lobster quesadilla rolls with jack cheese & avocado, Grilled Shrimp cigars and Pigs in a blanket.
