The big wedding 2008

We arrived in Wenatchee on Friday afternoon and it *poured* rain not long after. Just what a bride needs, right? Audrey handled it all well. . . they had a rehearsal at the park and then a nice rehearsal dinner buffet at a sports club, so the kids went swimming after dinner. A few pictures from that day:Remy and Liam trying to warm up after swimming:



Then, the big day. The wedding was at 1:00 with pictures beforehand, so here are a few of various groups. Audrey's dad and step-mom:
Heidi and Markus:The kids with them--the girls *loved* being princesses/fairies/flower girls:
The colors are so bright and cheery:
It was fun watching everyone arrive...and then the procession. I was way off to the side so the picture angle isn't that good. Here are the kids coming in:Remy was a bit of a three-year old (shocking, huh?) -- he made it up front but then needed candy bribery to stay there...and then he decided to sit down, lay on the pillow, prop it up...very fun for the grandparents and parents in the front row!


The girls performed well:

And it's official!
A few suspects at the reception:





The Swiss contingent:
They had a game of "father-daughter croquet" after cake and ice cream--very cute. The kids all whacked balls around.




After the wedding we swam at the hotel during a beautiful late afternoon. Then all of us (us, mom and dad, Heidi and co., Heidi and Markus) went out to dinner at a local steak place. We sat outside on a balcony and soaked up an absolutely perfect ending to a great day. I took pics but they're so bad that everyone'd shoot me if I published them!

It was special to also enjoy meeting on Sunday with everyone. We grabbed a burger with Heidi, Shirley and kids before leaving town for the 8 hour drive home. Dylan and Siena:
