Hotel Del Coronado
October 24, 2008

The Connect: The couple has known each other since they were about 2 years old.

The Celebration: They had a “wedding weekend” starting off with a rehearsal dinner at Flemings’ then onto a welcome party for the out of town guests at The Ultimate Skybox at Diamond View Tower, overlooking the ballpark, spectacular downtown San Diego and the bay. The ceremony was held at the same church Kathryn’s parents were married in, the Immaculata Church at USD. The bridesmaids wore black strapless dresses and the groomsmen wore their military uniforms. The ceremony concluded with a Marine Corps sword-arch. The reception for 300 guests was held at the Hotel Del Coronado where the guests were served a menu of surf and turf. An after party was continued at the Coronet Room of the hotel and then brunch the next day with family at the Boat House in Coronado before the couple took off for a European honeymoon including Switzerland, Germany and France.

Kathryn’s Advice: “Take some time on your wedding day, just the two of you, to enjoy the reception and surroundings.” Ingredients:
