A Wedding Up North

Two Saturdays ago on August 15th (yea I'm just now getting around to blogging about it), we headed up North for the wedding of one of my co-workers, Jennifer. The wedding was at the Semiahmoo Resort in Blaine, WA - which is at the border of Washington and Canada.

It's supposed to take about 2 hours to get there, but as we were running a bit late (I'm usually late by myself, but add a baby into the mix and I'm super late everywhere!) it only took just over an hour and a half to get there, thanks to Tim's driving! :)

We got a bit lost once we got to the resort, but we managed to find the place with only a few minutes until the start of the ceremony - thank goodness for the free valet parking!

The ceremony was so beautiful! We were all looking out over Semiahmoo Bay with White Rock, British Columbia, Canada in the background. The weather was perfect too! (It rained the day before, so I was nervous for them because I knew the ceremony was outside.)

I had to steal this picture from Jennifer's Facebook page because the pictures I took of the ceremony aren't that great. Beautiful, huh?

Of course Karsen was hungry as soon as the ceremony started, but we brought bottles. Tim ended up taking Karsen away from the ceremony because he was too fussy while the bottle was warming. (Best idea ever courtesy of our friends Walker and Tiffany - take hot water in a Thermos and use the lid to put water in to heat bottles on the go.)

After the ceremony, everyone made their way over to the reception area for a cocktail hour while dinner was prepared. The cocktail hour was held on a pier still overlooking the bay and Canada.

Karsen enjoyed being outside:

We also took the opportunity to get a few family photos:

For the reception dinner, we sat at a table with a bunch of my co-workers and we had a great time! And of course they all loved seeing Karsen again!

Jennifer and Chris made their way around the reception to talk to all the tables and I had to get a picture of them with Karsen:
After dinner, of course it was time for cake, which was beautiful! Jennifer has a love for cupcakes, hence the cupcakes:The cutting of the cake: And then the first dance:
When everyone else went out onto the dance floor, I took Karsen out for a spin or two:
After some dancing, Karsen worked up an appetite. Think he was hungry?

Tim fed Karsen, and then I caught this moment with the camera. I love how they're looking at each other:

And I also caught this one too, so sweet:

Just because, here are a few other pictures I stole from Jennifer's Facebook page from the photographer - the first one is so amazing!

Overall it was such a beautiful and fun wedding. Definitely a good one for Karsen's first wedding. Jennifer was such a gorgeous bride! We had a great time! Congratulations to Jennifer and Chris!

Love, Michaela
