Saturday, 25 March 2006
Here's how the day went:
7 am appointment at Bellevue Gene Juarez to get hair done
8:30 am Arrive at church in Redmond for pictures and getting ready
10:30 am Wedding ceremony begins – Couldn’t see the vows from the angle we were standing……Tara, the Maid of Honor, is so tall! Guess that's what the video is for!
12 noon Head to reception at Pickering Barn in Issaquah. Yes, it was a red barn, but really a refurbished hall on the inside. Mike, Steph, and Michael met me there as they didn't go to the wedding ceremony.
Fun reception with over 250 guests, did a little salsa with Heather and Donna (as we reminisced on the days when we took dance lessons together, saw the crazy dancing of the Kaiser siblings, and enjoyed Nate’s “Eye of the Tiger” dance. The Best Man and Maid of Honor did their toasts, and before we enjoyed eating cupcakes (much more fun than a wedding cake, as they had 6 different flavors, mocha, almond, mint chocolate chip, etc.... Marissa and Nate went to "cut the cupcake", they did the traditional linking of arms, looked each other straight in th eyes, paused a moment, and then surprised us all by throwing the cake into the Best Man and Maid of Honor's faces! Tara, the Maid of Honor, managed to escape the cake, but it was all over the Best Man's face. Everyone had a great laugh!
They took many photos of the wedding party outside near a beautiful willow tree.
4 pm Bid farewell to the newlyweds as they headed off to Salish Lodge.
After driving through Alki at sunset, took a long nap…...
7 pm Then, picked up my mom and her boyfriend Gary (who arrived from California this morning). We went to eat at The Crabpot. Shawn helped get us a table and discount.
11 pm Exhausted!
It was a beautiful ceremony, and we got many compliments on our bridesmaid's outfits. It was fun to see and hang out with Seattle friends again. What a fun day!
