jordan and brandon got married!

at the end of the month zac's sister, jordan, got married (to brandon!) in olympia at her parent's home. since i am all up in everybody's business when a wedding is involved, we somehow pressured them into inviting us and i was so happy because i like them and i like weddings. i always feel a tad anxious about weddings that are held at venues that don't normally accommodate weddings because it is so much more work and there is so much to think about, but they did a really great job! you could really tell how much thought and effort went into the event and there were a thousand tiny personal details which are really the best part about weddings, am i right? here are lots of photos, but also... congrats to jordan and brandon, we wish you a lifetime of happiness and i look forward to being all up in your business again one day in the future pushing for a baby shower invite. no pressure. ha. i stole the fist picture off of their photographers website, but after that it's just my pictures!

gavin and sarah got married!

a few weeks after school started, we took a little trip down to reno to attend matt's cousin's wedding. matt has a lot of cousins. really a lot... over twenty on his mom's side, so whenever you go to the wedding of one of matt's family members, you are going to get to see a lot of people. this wedding was matt's cousin gavin and it was a long time in the making. gavin is just the friendliest, most laid back person i have ever met. when we went to italy with matt's family, we SO randomly ran into gavin there (he was backpacking in europe) and he came and stayed with us for a few days (i am pretty sure he slept on the pool table, which makes no sense now that i think about it... because there were plenty of couches... maybe he just used the pool table cover as a blanket or something? i can't remember, i digress...) and we got to spend time with him and he is really one of my favorites from matt's family. he married sarah, who i unfortunately don't know very well, but she also seems just super friendly and she did rock heath to sleep at her own rehearsal dinner, so she must be really nice. they have two crazy, adorable little boys... dash and max, and they decided to make this thing official. the wedding was in their front yard (which is a soccer field) and it was pretty non-traditional and laid back and nice and fun... just like them. perfect. sarah's family is also crazy huge, so there were about a million children there, but weirdly beckett slept for the first two hours of the wedding! in the middle of all the craziness. weirdo. aaaaaanyways, congratulations to gavin and sarah! you are a lovely couple and we were so happy to share your day with you.
