Sunday: Fun Day

My friend Ned has a tradition of "Sunday Fun Day" activities with his family on Sundays; instead of getting depressed about the week ahead (as many of us are prone to do!), he makes sure they have an activity planned or get breakfast at their favorite coffee shop -- something to cap off the weekend in good style.

So along those lines....I'm going to try and post something just fun and whimsical on Sundays.  I may not make it every Sunday....but here's to good intentions!

Happy Sunday!

Margot and Travis: May 30, 2010

Margot and Travis were married on a somewhat typical early summer day -- bright, gray, and with intermittent showers.  The uncooperative weather, however, had absolutely no effect on the exuberance and excitement of their day.  Margot's smile never seemed to leave her face, and Travis kept glancing over at Margot throughout the night, clearly so happy and so in love. 

While the on and off showers cancelled their hope for an outdoor ceremony overlooking the Bremerton harbor, Margot's florists created a gorgeous indoor ceremony complete with a flower topped huppa. 

As guests sampled appetizers, Margot and Travis took some time for portraits by the water, taking advantage of the break in the weather. 

Once they joined their guests for dinner in the main reception room, the party really got started!  Thoughtful and humorous toasts by Margot's brothers, maid of honor, and best men got all the guests laughing.

Even the littlest guests were in celebration attire!

When the chairs were broken out for the Hora, Margot unsuccessfully tried to hide -- but she was pulled to the dance floor with Travis and hoisted up into the air by their friends and family.  What a thrilling (and somewhat terrifying!) way to begin married life!

In lieu of a getaway (Margot and Travis' hotel was across the street from the reception), they decided to make a run for it in their wedding finery, complete with running shoes and with guests cheering them on holding sparklers -- a nod to Margot and Travis' love of running (they run marathons together all the time!).

Margot and Travis, it was a pure joy working with you -- and I'm so pleased to have found friends in both of you!  All my best wishes!
