Nuptial

Kathryn Olivia Hjalmarson and Jason Stephen Blake were united in matrimony at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe in San Diego, California, on April 15th. The bride is the daughter of Elizabeth and John Hjalmarson of Leawood, Kansas. Her groom is the son of Sharon and Stephen Blake of San Diego. The Blakes were the hosts for the rehearsal dinner, which was held at The Crosby Club on the evening of the 14th. The Hjalmarsons toasted their daughter and new son-in-law at a reception immediately following the ceremony. The newlyweds honeymooned in Tanzania. They are now at home in New York City. Kathryn is employed with Embrace, headquartered in Los Angeles, California, and Jason is employed with Guggenheim Partners in New York City.

“I recommend that the bride and groom and their families have their photos taken before the ceremony. This allows for a much smoother day and then your parents can be the hosts of your cocktail hour - and you will be able to attend, also.” – Craig Sole, Craig Sole Designs

I Wonder –if the bride discovered too late that the battered fishing hat and the well-sprung lounge chair were considered members of the family?
