Wedding Season

It's officially wedding season in the Northwest and to kick it off my younger brother married his longtime girlfriend this weekend. I know I'm a bit biased, but it was really a beautiful day. Elise was a stunning bride, the bridesmaids were pink, pink, pink, the groomsmen’s outfits nearly all matched, and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect day weather-wise. Family came from all over, some even as far as North Carolina. It was so nice to have all my close family from my Mom and Dad's side together. I even set a date with my Grandpa to attend the rodeo with him when I make it back to Eastern Washington for my friend's wedding... another wedding that I'm in!

Interestingly, really no one in the bridal party's family is a very strict Catholic, but somehow our families managed to pull off a very traditional Catholic wedding--something I had never seen before until this weekend. It was quite a sight! During the entire ceremony, the priest kept giving the organist dirty looks and everyone seemed to notice. You could hear people laughing in their pews each time he gave her one of those looks. Also, I think some of the guests were a little bit beside themselves with all the ceremony. There were definitely times when they didn't know when to stand, sit, kneel or pray! I myself was having some trouble. Regardless, of some minor confusion, the wedding was beautiful and I couldn’t be happier for my brother and my new sister-in-law.




Here I am with my sisters... we're a vision of pink, aren't we!?
