PLEASE ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE...

My husband Bruce.  Yes, my husband.  After being together for 11 years, on November 11th we tied the knot.  Not many people knew we were getting married and in fact most of our customers thought we were already married.  We told people we were married because we thought it was easier than trying to explain to all the kids that come to us that we live together but are not married.  I don't have any pictures of the nuptials right now, they were taken by 2 friends and they are sorting through them and putting together a nice on-line album.  But I didn't want to wait for them and just had to tell the world. 

This is my handsome husband Bruce.  Man of my dreams....and 6 years younger than me!  ha.  We never planned to get married, just didn't think it was necessary.  We don't have and don't want children and have a great relationship (why fix something that isn't broke), but our accountant/financial planner Ben told us that it would be smart to get married.  We own a house, we own a business...it's just smart to protect ourselves.  So we thought about it, talked about it and thought why not.  Our good friend Elizabeth married us on the beach with our friend Chris taking pictures, it was perfect.  Then we had a party at a great restaurant called Beechwood Restaurant.  40 of our closest friends, great wine, cupcakes instead of a wedding cake, no wedding dress, no first dance, just fun!  It was the perfect day.  Bruce bought me a lovely ring from Anne Sportun.  Simple, elegant and beautiful! 

This is my niece Gigi and my nephew Mathieu.  They are the children of my best friend and sister Anne. My mom, sister (Anne) and the kids arrived here in LA (from Michigan) on Thursday and we went to Legoland on Friday.  They had a great time and Mathieu told us many times that la is paradise...he wants to move here.  He cried when he left on Tuesday and called us from Minneapolis on their way home.  It was great having them here, I speak to my sister a couple times a week, she's too far away and I wish she lived closer. 

We had a great 4 days with the family and it was great to celebrate with all of our friends.
