<\/a><\/p>\nOne of my favorite of many favorite moments was witnessing Dan’s reaction when Robyn walked down the aisle. \u00a0The love and joy was evident and his emotion could no be contained… Robbie looked amazing. \u00a0The bridesmaids were gorgeous. \u00a0Their grey dresses complemented the grey skies (we were in Washington after all… They incorporated a neat element into the ceremony. \u00a0It is an Italian tradition that Robyn learned of. \u00a0As I was researching it online, I learned that there are many variations, but the idea is the same. \u00a0The most common one I read of is that the couple takes an engraved padlock to a bridge a locks it to the bridge.<\/p>\n For Robyn and Dan, they have three padlocks. \u00a0One is going to go with them and locked somewhere on an island in Desolation Sound, a place that holds significance for Dan. \u00a0Then, they will lock another padlock somewhere in Hawaii, as significant place for Robyn. \u00a0The third place will be somewhere they will pick together while in Italy.<\/p>\n After the ceremony, we were escorted to a tasting room of the Columbia Winery<\/a>, and treated to wine and appetizers. \u00a0 \u00a0This is a picture of me and my brother… My beautiful nieces… …along with my beautiful mama… Even though the blessing of Facebook helps us to stay in touch, it was wonderful to get to catch up in person with family and friends…<\/p>\n My cousin’s cousins, Erin and Katie… Long held family friend, Justin, and my lovely cousin in law, Anne… My Auntie DeeDee (R) and her college days friend, Lynne… ‘H’ man! I love her hair… From the tasting room, we were escorted into the reception room for dinner and dancing. \u00a0This is a great shot of my Dad escorting my mom into the reception room. \u00a0Made us kids smile \ud83d\ude42 My Dad and my Grandpa, and some random people fighting over who gets the last piece of pizza…;) The menu was fun and casual, and yummy. \u00a0For the appetizers, plates of mini corn dogs with dipping sauce, and little pastry cups of mac and cheese were passed around. For our sit down dinner, we had a nice green salad, bread sticks, and three different flatbread pizzas. \u00a0Instead of a traditional cake, they had about four different kinds of cupcakes.<\/p>\n My Grandpa and his girlfriend, and friend \u00a0Jeanette, of, wow, \u00a0ummm, around 68 years?! Dev and the girls… Wonderful family friends, Steve and Margaret The newlyweds!! I love this shot of my Stepmom, Julee. \u00a0Isn’t she gorgeous?!

\nI love this series of shots, even though they are blurry. \u00a0If you know my family, you know we dance…we dance, dance, dance, dance, dance…many of my earliest memories revolve around pushing the living room furniture after a holiday dinner and dancing to Kool and the Gang, Stevie Wonder, Chicago, and Michael Jackson…grandparents, aunts, uncles, parents, siblings, cousins…<\/p>\n
