Sara and Jay's Wedding!

Sara and Jay were married last weekend, on August 9th, 2014. The were married at the Brown Family Homestead at Lake Wenatchee and it was absolutely beautiful and a perfect representation of them down to the last detail. I thought I had forgotten my camera, so don't have any pictures of the ceremony - grrrr. But did manage to find it later in the evening. The Homestead runs up the walls of the valley with the reception area below, the ceremony area on the hill and views across the valley of Nason Ridge. It was no coincidence that there was also a lovely full moon that night to twinkle down on the festivities. Brown-Eyed Susan flowers were mixed in with the grasses bordering a path from the ceremony to the reception area.

 

Jeanette and Maija, both friends from Shorecrest, attended the wedding and stayed with me at the cabin. Eben was sorry to miss the wedding and was stuck in California working on the Polar Star.

 Reed totally harassing Eevi. Oh no!

Behaving themselves in their strollers  / highchairs.

 The Homestead also featured chickens and horses, much to the delight of the children in attendance. All the children pretty much ran in a pack around the grounds after dinner. It was so wonderful to watch them and the magic that is a summer's evening.

 I was able to put Reed to bed in the farmhouse and enjoy the warm night, full moon, and good company for the remainder of the evening. Absolutely gorgeous and enchanting!

Congratulations to Jay and Sara! Wishing you many years of happiness, joys of family, and exciting adventures in the years to come! 

Oh - and did I mention they had a photobooth? So much fun!
