A few weeks ago they removed the tree from the Sunset Terrace
at the Ritz in Laguna Niguel. Unfortunately, it was sick and needed
to go to tree heaven. We affectionately have dubbed the event
"RIP Sunset Terrace Tree".
As a tribute to the tree I loved so much, I made two sided
custom ornaments printed on metal for many of
my friends on the catering staff at the Ritz.
Here are the images that were included on the ornament.
I also added a few inspirational quotes about
change as words of encouragement for our new year ahead.
With endings there are new beginnings!
I happen to have had the opportunity this past weekend to
photograph the first ceremony on the Terrace without the tree
at a wedding coordinated by Lisa Simpson.
Here is the historic moment.
Congratulations Cindy and Eric.
Your ceremony made Ritz Carlton history!
The upswing is that the Ritz can now hold larger ceremonies
on the Terrace with a beautiful panoramic ocean view!
