The scent of cherry blossoms, the breeze from the ocean and a thousand cranes were the beginnings of this beautiful Japanese themed wedding at The Hotel Maya.

Kellie toasted with her girls and did a First Look with her dad, while John and his guys managed to not get thrown out of the hotel. They were only getting started.

John settled down for a minute… okay a second… to turn and see Kellie as his bride. Their dog shyly came in for pictures, but literally smiled and wagged his tale the moment he recognized Kellie. He made an adorable ring bearer. Then the bridal party lived up to their last name PARTY and the antics began. Kellie and John know how to pick their friends!

The ceremony began with John strutting down the aisle. Kellie made her entrance and once again, John could only help but to stare and smile. During ceremony they laughed a lot and did a science experiment! (Kellie is a science teacher!)

The Taiko Drums were the highlight of their cocktail hour and then the real party began, complete with gambling and a visit from the Village People…aka the groom and groomsmen.

It was a USC themed wedding with a touch of Mexican spice… and a bull dog. Even though there was lots of messing around and fun with the largest bridal party ever…. it always came back to love… love of family, love of God and of course the love that Marina and Rich have for each other. This wedding was an emotional roller coaster. Rich smiling one second in anticipation waiting to see Marina dressed as a bride and the next wiping tears away. Marina’s eyes watering as she walked up the aisle to Rich and then making everyone laugh by saying “I got him!,” seconds after putting the wedding ring on his finger. Tears from a flower girl moments before the First Kiss and then guests shaking maracas as Rich and Marina exited. The most emotional moment was when Marina danced with her Dad to Come Holy Spirit.
