And just like that, it's over....the wedding that is. It was an all day event, starting at 9:15am at the Vancouver Hilton, with hair and makeup...that is to say a whole lot of both! I had no expectations as to what I'd end up looking like...and was pleasantly surprised. She curled my hair and left it down, and I had darker makeup that usual. I did not recognize myself, but I was happy with their work. The curls lasted! We rode in the limo to the Rose Gardens in North Portland, took some candid photos...and then headed to the church on the campus of U of P. We were dressed and 3 of us went to the campus cafe for lunch! We were starving by 3! We got a lot of looks! We were slightly overdressed for college life! The pictures went great, and the ceremony was short and beautiful. The reception was a blast, and in the beginning Shan said that we were going to shut the place down...and we did not disappoint! All the guys had fun, the food was great, wine..champagne...and beer were great too...but the company was the best. The sun was shining, and in several photos of Shan alone, there was a ray of sunshine laying on her. Donna (her mom) loved the sun, and Shan said if the sun was shining, she knew she was with her. It was awesome. We missed her...but felt her presence. Catching up with old friends, was great, and looking nice ...especially when the guy who dumped me for Senior Prom was there..to witness it all! Sweet Revenge...15 years later! It was a blast, though I know Kyle had no idea what he gets to inherit when he asked her to marry him. Here's a pic of Traci, Shan, & me!
