#16 "Wedding Table" 9x12


Linda and I were married on May 17, 2009  at the Ojai Retreat in Ojai, Ca. http://www.ojairetreat.com/index.html  It was just the two of us, a minister and a very kind lady whom we had met earlier in the day and invited her to take some pictures. 

That morning Linda and I went shopping for table decorations. We purchased a vase, flowers and a white table cloth. 

The day before we had been wine tasting in Los Olivos (of Sideways fame). We happened on to the Saarloos & Sons wine tasting room. We learned about the history of the family and their wines. Upon mentioning that we were going to be married the next day, we were given this lovely bottle of wine as a gift. Depicted on this label is the wedding photo of the union in 1945 that created SAARLOOS sons. On the left Bertha Saarloos on the right Gilbert Saarloos. Linda and I thought it would look great on our table. We felt it was very appropriate. 

If you're ever in Los Olivos, stop by... they are wonderful people and produce great wines!!
