Danny and Alex's beautiful wedding


We found a Starbuck's near the wedding, where we changed out of scampering-around-Seattle clothes and into scampering-around-a-wedding clothes 



Nope.  Not possible to get four people to smile charmingly all at the same time.

Seattle Danny (not to be confused with Texas Danny) used to call me "Chris with a silent 'P'".  Seattle Alex (not to be confused with either of the Texas Alexes) hand-lettered the name cards and the invitations.

That at least clears up one of the potentially-confusing Alexes.

It was really nice to see DJ and his sweet wife Amy, along with a handful of other friends from long ago.

Seeing these two kiss in public was adorable, because neither one of them is the PDA-type.  It was a positively beautiful ceremony, and extra-interesting because it was the first secular wedding I've been to.  I'm so very happy for Danny and Alex, and for Washington State for finally making their love and commitment to each other legal.

All of the food at the reception was 100% gluten-free, including the cake(s)!

DJ and Annie Oakley

Danny and Alex made gift bags for all of the guests, which included individualized goodies for each guest.  They must have put so much time and energy into doing that!  I got, among other wonderful treats, an Annie Oakley Action Figure.

This is my special super-sexy look.  I have to beat people off with a stick when I flash this expression at them.

"MEAT!"
Lumpy was beside himself when they slapped down a giant steak in front of him.  I don't think he had ever been served such a gigantic piece of beef before, and he ate almost the entire thing.  

It was too daunting to cut without the assistance of a very strong helper











Kelly was pretty happy about getting to toast with what appeared to be champagne but was actually sparkling cider for the kids

Anna was thrilled to get to have TWO ciders.  There was an extra, apparently, and the waitress let her have it.
