We enjoyed a great five days in Seattle last week for the beautiful wedding celebration of my older brother, Nate and his wife Debbie. We could not have asked for more perfect weather, amazing people, and quite honestly one of the most beautiful wedding celebrations ever! Below are a ton of pictures to capture the highlights of our trip. Overall, it was just an amazing time spent with our family, meeting Debbie's extended family, seeing where Nate and Debbie live, touring Seattle, and just really enjoying the entirety of the trip as we all prepared to celebrate the marriage of my brother and Debbie. We couldn't be more happy for the two of them and are overjoyed to have Debbie joining our family! We are so proud of them both and can't wait to celebrate their wedding reception back in Iowa in a few short weeks!
Friday we spent the day touring a few of Seattle's highlights: Space Needle, Pike's Market, and a tour of the city by land and water!
Luke hanging out with Bop and Nana on the lawn in front of the space needle while we waited for the rest of our group. It was such a gorgeous day, we just hung out and enjoyed the weather, especially since we escaped 100 degree temps back in the Midwest!
Luke wrestling Uncle Nate!
Luke and Daddy on the Duck tour of Seattle
The Bride & Groom and the rest of the crew! Nate arranged for our group of 30 to take a tour of the city by land and water Friday morning, it was a great way to see and learn about the highlights of Seattle.
Luke and Bop out for a morning walk! My parents rented a home for our immediate family up in the mountains for a few days leading up to the wedding. It was great to all be under one roof and enjoy that time together. I am not sure the rest of our family enjoyed Luke's 530 a.m wake up call...especially Nate on the morning of his wedding...sorry Nate!
The most gorgeous view for the most beautiful wedding. This was taken from the spot of the wedding
It was an absolute breathtaking view of the city landscape. This is where Nate and Debbie had their first date, The Golf Club at Newcastle
Sweet Little Luke got tons of attention, it took him a solid week of withdrawal from it all
Being goofy, actually he was saying "cheese"
Luke and Bop watching Toy Story 3 at the rehearsal (the IPAD with movies was our lifesaver)
At the rehearsal Saturday morning
The bridesmaids
The Groomsmen
Nate ushering my parents in
Debbie with her parents
Time for some fun...Saturday between the rehearsal that morning and the dinner, we enjoyed some time at the house. Luke had so much fun with everyone!
There was a chipping green, how fitting for our family, so Dad and Nate were practicing their game. Notice the trash barrel??? Well, of course our family had to turn it into a competition so we had a point system of hitting the barrel, getting the golf ball in the barrel, hitting the flag or hole in one. Even though I didn't fare so well, it was still fun!
