Lauren and Shaun's Wedding

It was a wonderful long weekend in San Juan Capistrano, CA to celebrate Lauren and Shaun's wedding.  Lauren is Fritz's daughter, Ros' grand-daughter.  Lauren's husband Shaun Storeby is from Minnesota.   Ros enjoyed the non-stop flight on Jet Blue to San Diego. Ted, Kathy, and grand daughter, Kim enjoyed all the preferential treatment that traveling with Ros, the celebrity, offered! Jet Blue's service reminded us of the way it used to be to fly in an airplane - great service and care. 

Once we arrived on Thursday, Fritz, Pam, Lauren and Colby came over and joined us for a poolside dinner at the Residence Inn under the stars. Nice.  On Friday morning, Susan Winter, a local caregiver, kept Ros company so he could rest up from the time change flying from East to West Coast. Shaun hosted the rehearsal dinner for the families,  the wedding party and out of town guests at the Lucchiana Italian Restaurant in San Clemente, a lovely Californian wine cellar private room. Susan picked Ros up from the dinner so that he could go back to the hotel and enjoy some peace and quiet!

The wedding was beautiful and held at a cool place called The Casino in San Clemente. The Casino was quite the place to be in it's hey day - Clark Gable, Judy Garland, Vivien Leigh and the like,  all frequented this art deco establishment. There was a grassy backyard where Pam and Fritz put up their own arbor for Shawn and Lauren to get married under.

 The wedding was even more special because the minister was a good friend of Shaun's and it was his very first wedding ceremony! -  many, many good friends of both Lauren and Shaun's were present...Nice people. Lauren and Shaun were gorgeous - so happy, so in love - it was such a privilege to witness this marriage ceremony.

This is the handsome father of the bride, Fritz, having his father daughter dance with Lauren.

One of the funny things about the wedding was the photobooth. So silly. Ros had fun with all the hoopla. He said it was nice to see people he knew.

 On Sunday, Pam, Fritz, Lauren and Shaun hosted a BBQ poolside at the hotel. Allen and Nancy Smith from Lexington, MA, were there too and sweet to Ros as always! So nice to not be rushed and to just relax with the bride and groom's families and out of town guests.  Convenient for Ros because he could go back to the room down the hall to rest. Monday morning we flew back to Boston arriving home at 11pm.  Ros was amazing - in terrific shape and a joy to be with for everyone.

It was a great trip we will remember for a long time. We are so proud of Lauren and Shaun and their families for hosting such a lovely time and for spending many special moments with Ros.
