Oregon Wedding

My dear roommate from Great Basin got married at the end of July.  Since she and her now husband met at Great Basin, I knew both of them which made it all the more exciting.  I felt honored when Jennie asked me to stand with her during the ceremony.
 
Oregon is lovely.  I didn't realize how much I missed trees and water.  The morning of the ceremony, we had an informal 5K.  It had been over two weeks since I'd run but I did just fine.  The course was great, right along the Willamette River for most of it.  The day couldn't have been more perfect.
The ceremony was held on a farm.  By the start time, the trees were completely shading the seats.  Like I said, perfect!  The flowers, the setting, the decorations, it was simply lovely.
The small house on the property where we all got ready was really nice too.  Here's Jennie and I before the ceremony.  PS- Jennie designed her dress and had a seamstress make it for her.
 The groom, his brother and best man, and me, all getting ready to process down the isle.

Getting married!!
Married!!
It was a wonderful weekend!  I danced and danced and danced at the reception until my up-do began to fall out, despite the 18 bobbi-pins.  I was able to spend a day with an old roommate as well while I was in Oregon.  It was great to have a break from work and what better excuse to take time off than to celebrate two friends' gettin' hitched!
