Practice Makes Perfect

I suppose weddings are like anything else . . . "Practice Makes Perfect". So on Friday before Melissa and Cody's wedding, the wedding party gathered at the Sierra Knolls Winery, which will be the location of the wedding.


We all pitched in to set up tables and chairs for the wedding, and then the wedding practice began. Most of the wedding group ran through their paces quite well in preparation for tomorrow. A few stumbled through the practice session, but hopefully, "Practice Makes Perfect".

This winery is a great place for a wedding. Downhill from the Winery Tasting Room is a large concrete patio with a wrought iron gazebo overlooking the valley in the Sierra foothills. The wedding ceremony will be held in the gazebo. Chairs for guests were set up on the patio. A beautiful location.



The view back uphill from the gazebo to the Winery was very nice. Most of the grounds were terraced and well landscaped with lots of flowers in bloom.


Melissa's immediate family is shown below following the practice session. Left to right is Melissa's mother, Cary Sharp; Melissa's paternal grandmother, Carole; Melissa; and Melissa's maternal grandmother, Dixie Flynn.



The weather was great, the view from the Winery was spectacular, and the owners were very pleasant. I hope everything goes well tomorrow, which it probably will since"Practice Makes Perfect". Besides, we can get into some serious wine tasting tomorrow.
