Place and Time

Sooner than later, my brother's wedding date arrived. He too lives in Washington. Again, Octavio and I flew up to Washington for an event-packed weekend. We went to my brother's wedding on the 15th, my 10 year high school reunion (which was during his reception), had my bridal shower, and went to the world famous Puyallup Fair (a local tradition).

Helping my brother prep all day to get ready for his ceremony was quite the learning experience. He was getting married on the lake that our dad lived on (in Dad's backyard). We did yardwork, set up lights, put up tables and chairs, decorated, made centerpieces--phew! It gave us many ideas for what we did and didn't want for our own wedding.
 
Their ceremony went off hitch-free with good weather (a blessing in Seattle).
