The reception was at the nearby Silver Lake Ballroom.

A talented blues trio, The Bluebirds, entertained with a good mix of dance tunes and music that was just plain fun to listen to.

Ben’s cake was in the form of a guitar, as he is a guitar player. Bluebirds guitarist Jimmy handed off his Telecaster to Ben, who played a blues tune with the band, and later, Christin’s brother sat in with the band on drums.

When Ben tossed the garter, the ring bearer was swiftly thrust up by his dad so that he could snatch the garter out of the air… a truly spectacular catch!

Congratulations Christin and Ben!
