Elaine and Ty got MARRIED!!!

Jim's sister Elaine got married last weekend and we all went to Sacramento for the festivities!! Here are some pictures of the rehearsal dinner held at the Embassy Suites on the Riverwalk.


The beautiful Embassy Suites lobby. This is our home away from home when we go to Sacramento. I've stayed here for lots of conferences...etc. Very nice and you can't beat the free breakfast!!

The happy couple getting the evening underway! Giving some last minute directions and just sharing their excitement with us for the upcoming fun and festivities!


Jim and Elaines Aunt Jane is a judge and she officiated the ceremony. Here they are doing some practice runs at the rehearsal dinner.
