Day 2: Lovely Hurricane Ridge
Today, we decided to head out to Hurricane Ridge. But first, a recap on lastnight… Boy was it WINDY! I thought the poor little Fun Finder was going to take off with us in it. Of course, it didn’t help we left the awning out until 3 am! I was invisioning the windstorm in Seattle last winter when it lifted the fun finder a few feet backwords!
A couple had only been married for two weeks and the husband, although very much in love, couldn’t wait to go out on the town and party with his old buddies.
So, he said to his new wife, “Honey, I’ll be right back.”
“Where are you going, Coochy Coo?” asked the wife.
“I’m going to the bar, Pretty Face,” he answered. I’m going to have a beer.”

Enjoying Day 1 so far!
Alright, so that pick is the end of day 1, so let’s start at the begining…A little bit of craziness begins our Monday. We were not at all packed for the trip, so we had to scramble to get everything together. Leaving gifts and wedding supplies strewn throughout the house, we hit the road about 2:30 pm. We were the second to last car on the 3:05 ferry!
My Brother Larry and I…almost to the top of the ailse to give me away to Brett.
Guess what, our wedding photographers Jen and Jody “crashed the party” (in a fantastic way) and ALREADY have some photos up on their blog!! Check it out! Thank you to our main photographers Jennifer and Eliza, and Jen and Jody for dropping by as well! We love what we see so far!
Brett welcome’s us home!
Yes, we are sleepy, but had a FANTASTIC time! The venue turned out beautiful (thanks to hard work by “the decorators”), and the day had very glitches—nothing major!Phew!!
This AM we were greeted in the lobby by Tyler, Carson, Tina, and Stacey screaming our names and practically knocking us over with gigantic hugs!!!
Renee snapped this one while we were waiting at Pike Place Market
As the maid of honor, I have the honor of sharing a few thoughts about the bride and groom. Are you two game for this….?
I’ll start with the lovely bride, my sister Jennifer. I have had the honor and joy of knowing Jennifer for all of her life and I can honestly say there are only a few people in this world that I love as much as I love my sister. Even when she came into my life when I was as a teenager and I lost five or six years of my precious teen age life to babysitting, I knew she was an amazing person. It has been so much fun to see her grow into the amazing young woman that she is today. I am so proud to stand here today and look at you – the best sister and friend that a person could ask for, and I know Brett will agree, a gorgeous bride to boot.
You have so many amazing qualities that have brought all of the people in this room here today to share in your moment… I admire how you can find or create beauty in everything you do and how much you of yourself you give to the people that you love. (more…)
