INTIMATE BACKYARD WEDDING IN LOS ANGELES - CAT + SEAN
When I first met Cat, a vice president of A&E Network/Lifetime, and Sean, an amazing musician and writer in Los Angeles, we laughed a lot - OUT LOUD - almost too much because my face hurt. She burst into laughters like I would (which is actually insanely hard to find for some reasons! lol) and the way Sean adores Cat was simply incredible.
Their original wedding was in Los Olivos of Santa Barbara County, but basically everything was canceled in 2020 because of COVID-19 pandemic. So what did we do? We had everyone tested for COVID and got together at their home backyard in LA, just with 12 people and their dog Tito. Sean’s best friend Glen officiated the ceremony.
I personally was very touched by the love Holland and Maddy (Sean’s daughters) have for Cat. I get choked up just thinking about their (including Cat’s) acceptance of life and all other amazing emotions.
The day was simply beautiful, welcoming and cozy; filled with love and euphoria.
