Kim and Joe's Wedding

We had a great time at Eagle Crest in Central Oregon for Kim and Joe's wedding.  It was a fun little Ainge family reunion.  My favorite parts of the long weekend were watching Dane for a night and also watching Briz perform her duties as flower girl.  She loved being part of the wedding: she basically thought it was her wedding.  And she was also completely enamored with Kimmy the whole weekend.  She loved her beautiful princess wedding dress. And when she discovered that Kim has a beautiful singing voice, oh forget it, she had her new idol.
 Briz getting her directions from the Wedding Coordinator.

 She was very very focused.  We were a little nervous because we had no idea how she would do.

 But she threw those flowers down like a pro. I was so proud of my little girl.  She seemed so grown up in that moment.

 She was a little tired after her flower girl duties.

 Making out with Dad  . . . again.

 In their matching purple outfits.

 Briz' face cracks me up in this picture.  This is normally what her forced, camera smile looks like.  

 She thought her and Cami, the Maid of Honor were twins with their blonde hair and purple dresses.

 All of the Ainge siblings.  Have to take a picture because it doesn't happen that often where they are all together.

 The Michels family.  Sorry if this is a spoiler of their Christmas card :)

 Love this picture of Grandpa and Grandma.  Epitomizes them pretty well. 

 Briz and her idol.

 The August 25th couples.  

 Cousins.  I found both of their outfits at Janie and Jack.  Yep, I splurged just a bit.  I couldn't help myself.

 Some forced cousin love.

Actually Bri, she doesn't smother Dane. She gets grossed out by his drueling, so she only touches him when we make her :)

Oh wow, Kim and Joe's Wedding was spectacular. Indeed it was a big day for them and I am so glad that both enjoyed it to the fullest. I too got engaged recently and for the wedding day have just booked one of the Chicago wedding venues for this party. It will be a brilliantly organized party as I will be hiring one of the award winner party planners.
