Mr. & Mrs.

Notice the police tape on the car.

Jake the Ringbearer waiting patiently for his part in the ceremony.

Cutting the cake. The wedding topper was a boy and girl hiker and a dog that looks like Jake.

Josh and Brynn were married on Sunday May 22, 2011. It was a lovely wedding in a beautiful setting. The ceremony almost came off without a glitch except for a few minor stumbles: someone had forgotten to unbutton the bride's train on her dress which resulted in a delay of her walking down the aisle and the guests and groom wondering if she changed her mind...and...the chaplain forgot to tell the bride and groom to kiss at the end of the ceremony.

Flower girl "Ella" (bride's niece) was too cute strewing rose petals down the aisle. Ringbearer "Jake" (Josh & Brynn's dog) carried the rings down the aisle attached to his specially made long tie and white collar. Brynn's 2 sisters and Kristin were bridesmaids. Josh's groomsmen were 2 friends of his and his cousin Anthony from Chicago.

While my sister and family were here from Chicago they managed to get in a fair amount of activities. They love the Pike Place Market and went there twice, to the Space Needle, we had dinner at Ivar's on the waterfront, walked all of Lincoln Park. The day after the wedding we all had breakfast with the newlyweds at the Easy Street Cafe in West Seattle.

Tuesday morning Josh and Brynn were here at 6:30 a.m. and we took them to the airport as they were heading for a 5 day honeymoon in Hawaii. Later in the day we took Patrice and family to the airport as they were going back to Chicago.

So that's a very brief outline of our last week and a half. It was crazy busy with activity and it was a lot of fun, so this week we've been decompressing. - Joyce
