Dr. Ed Allred and Cathy Monji were married during a beautiful ceremony held at Los Alamitos Race Course on Friday, March 8, the ENE has learned.
The couple exchanged vows in front of 150 family and friends with Pastor Ruben Escalante conducting the wedding ceremony.
Allred is the longtime owner of Los Alamitos Race Course and Quarter Horse racing’s all-time leading owner and breeder.
Cathy has been the track’s president for the past two decades.
Allred walked to the altar with his sister, Rives Wiggins. Tom Seibly, who has known Allred since their college days together at USC, did the honors as the best man.
The bride was accompanied down the aisle by her mother, Keiko Sadakane, and brother, Kevin Sadakane. Cathy’s nieces, Alexis and Aubrey Sadakane, were the Matron and Maid of Honor, respectively.
Following the nuptials, the newlyweds’ reception was held in the Vessels Club’s immaculately decorated Finish Line Room, which is part of the track’s upper-level turf club. Strings by Reiko provided entertainment during the reception.
The Allreds’ business empire sits on perhaps the most valuable large track of land in the city of Cypress, where horse racing has been conducted for decades.
