4 weddings in a row!!! Phew! And they were all so blessed! I only didn't really know one couple!

* Steve and Kara, two awesome people from NET, sealed the deal in St. Paul MN and had a smashing reception complete with polka and swing music!!
* Jerry and Heather, my incredible brother and beautiful new sister-in-law, were made one in the holy sacrament of matrimony on July 31st at the University of Portland Chapel of Christ the Teacher! Thanks to Fr. John Amsberry all the Catholics and non-Catholic alike felt very welcomed into the church and all came up for Holy Communion @ least to receive a blessing! The reception that followed was intensely fun!!! Never stopped dancin'! And even had a possy of little ones to play with!!
* Astin and Ryan, my bonita amiga from UP and her husband who's pretty cool too esp. for marrying astin!!, were married the following weekend in Albany, OR where two highly talented musicians sang and played piano and guitar to complete an emotional and spiritual ceremony! (that was me and my mom!) =) Fr. argh, who is really awesome and I can't remember his name, but is from Alaska!... gave an incredible homily about us being the salt of the earth- we're the flavor. and then gave astin and ryan a door hindge, one side was labeled astin, the other ryan... and when put together they fit... but couldn't stay together without the pin, aka God!!! Sooo cool! And yeah yeah, the reception was a blast b/c many UP friends were there!
* Renee and Todd, people I briefly met at steve and kara's wedding, just got hitched this past weekend in the beautiful state of Colorado! My teammate Lauren and I were up for a road trip, so we went to visit our friend David Hicks, also from the road last year, who showed us a glorious time there! The ceremony was beautiful and after communion they each prayed by Mary and Joseph statues which I really liked! The dancing picked up after lots of people left, but hey at least it started at some point! =)
Welp, now I'm off to work! No more major weddings till next summer, after John and Sheelagh's renewal of vows and parties of course!! Love you all!! Congrats to Rebecca and Charlie, Angela and Elbert and Theresa and Nate for getting engaged too!! You all are awesome!
