Wedding Weekend

Last weekend, the 22nd and 23rd, Marty was in TWO weddings. Yes, two in the same weekend. Marty's brother, Stephen, got married on Friday the 22nd, and our college buddy, Brady got married on Saturday.We headed down to Eugene for Stephen's wedding on Thursday the 21st, got into town around 3:30 and checked into our hotel where most of Marty's family stayed. Once settled we went and found Marty's Mom and sister to figure out where everyone was. Next we went and found his grandparents who were up from Tulare, CA then his Aunt Wendy and Uncle Doug who were up from Tipton, CA and his Aunt Kate and Uncle Randy who were here from Iowa. The rehearsal dinner was Thursday at 5:00pm so once we arrived at the church we got to see the rest of Marty's siblings as well as his Aunt Libby and Uncle Jeff who were here from Pennsylvania. 

Much to our surprise, we had a lot of hang out time which was such a blessing. We got to have breakfast and lunch together Friday before the wedding, then hang out for a bit after the wedding before we headed back to Portland for our next wedding.

The wedding was beautiful and we are VERY excited for Stephen and Kayleen to start their life together. We got to hang out with them Thursday night in Beaverton with Marty's family before they took off on their road trip to Virginia where they will be living the next few years. 

We left Eugene Friday night around 10:00pm to head back to Portland. The car ride home was probably one of my most "pregnant feeling" times yet. I was beyond exhausted and very uncomfortable. Luckily, we got to sleep in on Saturday because Marty didn't have to be at the wedding in Boring, OR until 1:00. 

We had fun with friends at Brady's wedding on Saturday, the weather wasn't too hot either which we were happy about especially because the wedding was outside!

After the wedding a big group of our friends went to one of our favorite places, The Concordia Ale house, and spent a few hours just hanging out. We had a lot of fun, but ANOTHER late night took a lot out of us! Well worth it though!

I only have a few pictures to share from the weddings. I had to steal a few from Friends' sites. We will be getting copies of all the pictures taken over the weekend soon I am sure so I will try to put up a few family pictures then. :-)
