It was a pleasure for us too! you two made us feel so comfortable while also making us have a lot of fun, Albert loved you both. First of all it has been so difficult for us in deciding what pictures we want. The reason for that being is because they all amazing, but we finally narrowed it down...

Thank you Elizabeth & Albert.

Liz And Albert's Engagement

Jenny and Todd's Wedding

Sevilla, Long Beach

Today we met with a couple who is getting married on a golf course next September. Pretty nice people, and seemed easy going. We had to drive to Huntington Beach to meet with them, so we decided to go somewhere farther for dinner. Julia thought it was a great opportunity to try Sevilla, in Long Beach. She has been wanting to try their tapas for a while now, and since it was on the way home, we stopped by.

The picture you see below is the one that caused the most opposite reaction for us. It's Dates Stuffed with Cabrales Bleu Cheese, wrapped with bacon and covered with apple cider vinegar glaze. Eddie hated this dish more than any other dish we had this night. He doesn't usually like sweetness in dishes that he thinks should be savory, and this one was just too sweet for him. Julia, on the other hand, loved it, and thought it was a great explosion of flavors, despite the fact that she hates blue cheese. If we ever go back, she will definitely order another one of these and happily eat them all herself!
Below is a photo of Chicken Ajillo, Shrimp Azafran, Spicy Marinated Octopus, and Aioli with Fresh Baked Bread.
Ever the carb lover, Eddie loved the bread with Aioli. So much so that he ordered another loaf. Julia didn't mind, though, since she thought it was good too. The octopus was spicy and marinated with red wine vinegar. It had a nice flavor, but Eddie thought it was way too tough and chewy. Even Julia, who doesn't mind chewing tougher meats, had to agree it was on the tough side...

The shrimp was sauteed with cooked with hazelnut brandy and saffron cream sauce. Eddie thought it could have used a little bit stronger spices, but still liked it. Julia, easy to please as always, thought it was good, and was impressed with how perfectly they were cooked: crisp, and not overly cooked.

The chicken was simply sauteed with white wine and garlic. Eddie thought the flavors were right on. Julia, well... You can guess that she liked it too, like almost everything else she eats! :) She was happy just chomping on the olives while we waited for the food to arrive.

So tonight's favorite for Eddie was fresh bread with Aioli, while Julia's was the dates. Overall, Eddie rates the food 3.5 out of 5 stars. Not that impressed, but okay. Julia rates it 4 stars.

If you do decide to give this a try, here is their website:

They have their menu posted online, so you can go take a look. Eddie doesn't necessarily recommend this place, but Julia does, just for the sake of trying different flavors. This is definitely a good place if you love to drink. We just stuck to lemonade and iced tea this time.

Angela & Steve's Wedding

Angela and Steve have got to be one of the most fun and laid-back couples we've met yet. Their wedding took place at The Plaza at Cabrillo Marina in San Pedro. It was a short and sweet ceremony, followed by a reception that was simple, yet elegant and fun all at the same time.





The wedding was island themed, so everyone was told to come in Hawaiian shirts and dresses. Definitely one of the cutest weddings we've been to! Julia loved Angela's bouquet.

The wedding was so much fun that even Steve loosened up enough to recreate the couple's cake top! And the location was a nice little secluded spot next to the water. If you want to take a look, here's their website:

Congratulations, Angela and Steve!

Mary and Fabio's Wedding

Here is the brand new bride, Mary, with the gorgeous eyes. And in case you are wondering, yes, her eyes really have a golden hue to them; that is not just special effects!
Here is the newlywed couple right after their wedding, which took place aboard the Royal Princess, a nice yacht docked in Newport Beach.
The couple is having their first dance in the picture above. Awww...
Cheers!
Mary's wedding dress was also her mom's wedding dress when she got married. It's got a great classic look to it, which looks just great on Mary.
The couple's first kiss....
Lighting their unity candle. It even matched the rest of the nautical theme, with seashells on the bottom!
Anyone dare speak now? The captain of the Royal Princess, and official asks...

Mary and Fabio's wedding set... Simple yet elegant, just like their wedding. Congratulations, guys!
