Ryan and Tiffany's Wedding - June 26, 2010

With all that has been going on, I am several weeks late in our blog about Ryan and Tiffany's wedding! It was two weeks ago today, on June 26, in Eugene. The ceremony was at St Mary's Catholic Church, and the reception was at Emerald Valley Golf Course in Creswell, catered by Brindiamo Catering.

We had a great time, and Tiffany was a gorgeous bride. Ryan even cried as everyone was walking up the aisle to "Oh How Beautiful" - which of course made me tear up too. Lucia was the flower girl, and proudly walked up the aisle holding both Mama and Dada's hands (we were both in the wedding party). This, of course, meant that I carried her basket along with my own bouquet. :-) She was supposed to sit with my parents for the ceremony, but when she saw me in the bridal party come up to stand, she tore across the aisle to me where I carried her in one arm, my bouquet in the other, as Ryan and Tiffany exchanged vows (sweat trickling down my back!). Then she sat with me the rest of the ceremony and walked back down the aisle with us. Super cute!

Here are some photos from the wedding and reception.

Lucia danced the night away! And Jordan caught the football (in lieu of a bouquet toss) - she is my 20 year old cousin:

Here is a video of Lucia dancing with several of the other little girls at the reception. She was living it up!

And here is the football bouquet toss - I love it because Lucia is oblivious to everything going on around her and just keeps dancing!



We all had a great time - Congratulations, you two!
