Thanks for all the love while I was sick, I am 100% back to normal now! Now I can finally catch up with posting. Here’s what we did over the weekend, even though I was ill I wouldn’t have missed it for anything!
This past Saturday we got to attend the wedding ceremony for two of our dear friends, Chinua and Katie. They have been married for 2 years and have a gorgeous little boy together and were excited to finally add the experience of their “big day” to their family memories.
They got married at the same restaurant we did, Wahoo! It’s a beautiful venue with great food and a garden-like setting.
We chatted with the bride, groom, their adorable son Anhur, and old friends for about an hour before it all began.
Chinua’s father got things started with a speech about marriage that had all the ladies tearing up.
Then the lovely couple got to exchange their heartfelt vows….
And kiss!
I stuck with softer foods for lunch because I was still quite ill. It was all delicious though.
And signed the guest book…
We have a running joke with them that as soon as we get pregnant with our first child they’re starting on baby number 2. It’s not even really a joke, though. I may have to inform Katie that I’m pregnant even before Jeff and I’s parents! 😉
After the ceremony and lunch, the party moved to Twain’s for beer hour.
There were snacks…
And cupcakes!
We had a little of both. Jeff got a maple cupcake that he loved.
I thought this strawberry was insane.
I’ve known Chinua for nearly a decade now. He’s been my friend, my coworker, and even my boss at different points over the years. He couldn’t have found a better partner in Katie. She has become an equally wonderful friend and I adore both of them.
Congrats guys on 2 years of happy marriage!
And May 1st is our anniversary too! I’m even bringing my wedding dress to Seattle to wear to dinner that night. (It’s casual, it doesn’t necessarily look like a wedding dress.) I’ll fill you guys in on our trip when we get back!
I love the casual ambiance of this wedding; so perfect! and your dress looks great

Thanks, it’s my favorite!
Congrats to your friends and it’s really cool that they got married at the same place. Glad you are feeling better now!!! Hate to hear when my little girl is sick. What a great idea to take your wedding dress on your 1st anniversary trip and wear it to dinner.
Hope ya’ll have a wonderful time and HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!!!
Thanks momma!
So cool – I didn’t know Wahoo did weddings! They seem like a sweet couple. Congrats to them (and you!).
P.S. Your mom is adorable.

How fun! Looked like a great venue, very intimate. Looking forward to seeing your Seattle pics!
I just feel happy reading this! I love seeing weddings that epitomise the couple, not expected traditions! I need to post about my friend’s recent wedding, which was also so clearly just about their love and relationship
