last week, my brother was sealed to rachelle for eternity in the seattle temple. it was a very sweet ceremony and craig and i were honored to be there. this is the happy couple greeting their family and friends for the first time as husband and wife.

family pictures. it was a bittersweet day because we were so excited for taylor and rachelle but pretty sad tucker (who is serving a church mission) couldnt be there.

after the temple, we drove up to bonefish for a wedding luncheon.  the back of rachelle's little bug was so sweet with the flower garland and the "just married" sign.

lame group shot. it was one of those times when the waiter tried about four different times to take the picture (each time saying 'oh yeah, thats a good one') that by the fourth time we just took what we could get.

after lunch we went back to my aunt megan's house to finish setting up for the open house. her house looked amazing.

they served a few of their favorite appetizers,  a great assortment of fruit and treats to dip in the chocolate fountain and of course, delicious cake.

rachelle decided to have megan's house filled with peonies. peonies are seriously the best.

loved their sweet little cake and the paper fans backdrop.

they also had a polaroid camera for all the guests to get their picture taken with and tape in the guest book. tagg was the photographer for a bit and did a great job. im for sure getting one of those cameras.
