Sara's Wedding

This past weekend, one of my high school friends got married. She had a 2 year engagement so it was about time! Neither of our husbands could join us, so Andrea and I hopped a plane to Seattle on Sunday morning since the wedding was Sunday evening. When we arrived at the airport, we were talking about who we might see at the wedding. To our great surprise, our friend, Michelle, was on our flight. I went to school with Michelle from kindergarten through high school. She lives in California but was home visiting her parents so she was flying out of Spokane to go to the wedding. It was awesome to be able to catch up with her on the flight and then hang out with her before the wedding. She is absolutely hysterical!

My dear friend, Lisa, was sweet enough to pick us up at the airport and be our taxi and hotel for the weekend. A HUGE thank you to her! It was awesome to see her. She starts dental school at UW tomorrow so wish her luck!

Lisa, Andrea, Michelle and I grabbed some lunch together and then, as per my request, we went to Red Mango. This is the place Jessi and I found in Seattle a couple of weeks ago. Non-fat, plain frozen yogurt topped with fresh fruit. Probably one of the best things I had ever eaten! Yum!!!

Sara's wedding was on Bainbridge Island, so we had to take a ferry to get to it. Lucky for us, she charted a private ferry for her guests! The ride took an hour and a half because we took a scenic route. It was gorgeous and so much fun to catch up with some of our high school and college friends.

When we arrived at the ceremony site, the weather was absolutely gorgeous. Thank goodness! It was pretty gray for most of the day. This is where the ceremony took place. Beautiful, huh?

Sara was a breath taking bride, not that I expected anything less! The ceremony was awesome and tearful. Why don't I ever remember to bring tissue to these things??

The reception was a blast. Dinner was incredible. We had salmon that was beyond mouth watering! The decorations were gorgeous. Sara didn't spare any details!

After dinner, we moved into a different building to start the dancing which is always my favorite part of the night. Here are a couple of my favorite pics of Sara and Ryan.

I was kind of bummed when the dancing ended at 10:00 and we had to board the ferry again. However, imagine my elation when I found out there was a DJ on the ferry and Sara and Ryan were joining us for another hour and a half of a serious dance party!!! It was awesome!

I went out on the deck to cool down and realized that obviously I need to be the king of the world! Alex was happy to join me!

Once we turned around, the wind was blowing up our skirts. Obviously this meant we had to be Marilyn Monroe! We got in trouble for standing on the platform, but it was so worth it!

This was too fun so I had to drag the bride and groom out to play along. Too cute!

The beautiful view at the end of an amazing night! Sara, your wedding was incredible! Thanks so much for letting me be a part of your day! Love you!

A quick stop and Red Mango for breakfast (yes, Jessi, I got a medium this time!) and we were on our way home. One last hurrah before the first day of school tomorrow!
