Spring Travel, pt 3: Taryn Marries David
A few weeks after our Seattle trip for Corinne's cousin Taryn's bridal showers, we made a second trip to celebrate the marriage of Taryn and David.
Corinne was one of the maids of honor along with Taryn's sister-in-law Clare and Taryn's friends Alicia and Heidi-Lyn. A complicating factor in the organization was that all of the maids except Alicia had new babies: Anders was born in September (8 months); Heidi-Lyn's daughter Petra was born in November (6 months); and Clare's daughter Josephine was born in January (4 months). So we had to juggle babies with the wedding activities and figure out how to nurse in formal attire.
The wedding was held at the church of the bride and groom and was followed with a cheese, fruit, and cake reception for 200+. Despite several attempts, Mike and Anders didn't get to see much of the actual ceremony. Anders was making enough noise and doing enough wiggling that the two of them spent most of the ceremony waiting in the lobby.

Later that day, there was a intimate dinner reception for the family and bridal party at Newcastle Golf Club with fabulous views overlooking Lake Washington and the Seattle skyline.

There are so many great photos from the weekend. Some of my favorites follow, including the darling photos the wedding photographer captured of the bride with all of her favorite babies. It took a few tries to capture the right moments, but she eventually succeeded.

We took Anders's jumparoo to the rehearsal dinner and wedding reception which was a little unorthodox but worked out great. Anders loves jumping so between the jumparoo and all the relatives eager to shower him with attention, we were able to fully partake in the celebration.
Welcome to the family David! And congratulations to both Taryn & David. We look forward to many years of good times together. (Josephine, Anders and Petra can't wait for Lund Jr!)
