Wedding Bliss

This past weekend, we drove to Spokane, Washington, to celebrate the wedding of my older brother, Corby, and his lovely bride, Mary. It was a beautiful time, filled with laughter and joy, and tears of happiness, and lots of fun with family. 

The dress rehearsal was followed by an all-out luau, complete with hula dancing and Hawaiian BBQ. Zoë almost stole the show with this hula skirt brought straight from Saipan (thanks to Grandpa! :).


With Uncle Corby

The happy couple!

(thanks Heidi for capturing this priceless expression!)

Then came the wedding day on Whitworth's campus - where the two of them met 8 years ago and began their romance.
The man of the hour - lookin' good!

And his beautiful bride, with darling little Rachel
Zoë is so excited to have Mary as her one and only Aunt :)

And the extended family picture - what a great looking bunch!

Now for the main event - a lovely and touching ceremony that had me both crying and smiling from beginning to end. Zoë, on the other hand, slept the entire way through...




So happy! The reception was delightful - delicious food, visiting with relatives, dancing and more laughter!

Zoë had a ball crawling around the dance floor and playing with Rachel

Being a goofball :)

Congratulations, Corby and Mary! You are perfect for each other. :) 
We are so excited for you as you begin your lives together!
