Bean's Wedding

Our good friend Michael Bean finally got hitched a couple weekends ago. He was our best man for our wedding, so it was fun to be a part of his wedding! Here are some fun photos. I knew most of the groomsmen, but got to know Alyssa, a bit, and she seems to be a perfect match for Bean.

Here Chris (Bean's brother) is slicking on some hairgel before photos

...something Bean is unaccustomed to. =)

The Studly groomen sans the bestman Chris (who was still applying the hairgel)

Looking good!

It was so nice to see my man again!!!

Bean (I just can't call him Michael...I think he'll always be Bean) and Alyssa

Pink and Pink! But they looked beautiful with the black dresses

Alyssa and her two sisters, making sure the bride looks her best, Bean looking on thinking,

"Now will I be the one doing this later, and how the heck do you work with those staight clip things in her hair?"

Again so happy!

Here's a photo of a mini Fox reunion. GO Class of 2004!

The ceremony and reception was all beautiful! Makes me want to live closer and in the NW...we'll see!

Shannon and Josh's Big Day

Well, this is all I have in photos, but to get a much better idea and pretty much "experience" the wedding. Go to www.johnbennettstudios.com click on "view an event." Their wedding is the only one he's done so far this "wedding season." He was the same photographer that did our wedding, and as always...amazing photos!!!! I'm getting ideas for my next wedding (with the same man of course)...but heck why not celebrate twice! ;)

Wedding Rehearsal and Dinner

Neveah (the flower girl) overlooking the rehearsal, and just lookin' cute.Decisions, decisions...
Beautiful, Mt. Adams...oh and the couple too. =)

All Smiles...
Sorry that this photo might make you sick looking at it. It was Tobin and

Dorina's (the wedding coordinators) Birthdays...so we celebrated at the rehearsal dinner.

Jono and Elijah

Spending time with Elijah (He's just a bit older than Zoey, and we've already discussed and arranged married!) =)

The three stooges (Dick Steward, Ken Rubech, and Darrol Rummel)

It was a fun time had by all. Dinner was a yummy pasta bar-DELICIOUS! And it was amazingly nice to have the wonderful help to set up, host, and clean up!

Wedding Party Rafting!!!

Well, it's now Rummel Tradition (to no longer be held, because both Rummels are married off) to go Rafting on the White Salmon! It was lots of fun, and much fast than my first experience before Tobin and my wedding!

Marty even came this time!!
Justin (a groomsmen) and Mark Zoller (the owner of the Zoller's Rafting)
Josh and Shannon

Wedding Time!

Another quick note, that we are hear in Trout Lake, and busily decorating and coordinating for Shannon's wedding on Saturday. Tobin and I finally met our new brother-in-law, and he's great! We're both so excited for Shannon!

We went rafting yesterday; it was beautiful and fast rafting!!! No one is doing the falls because, it's just to high! 3 1/2 feet! But the rest was a wild ride! No one got lost and no boat overturned, so it was a great ride!!!

Talk with you later!

I Got It!

Well, I have more "avid" blog readers than I thought. Thanks everyone for you help and suggestions...I probably should have asked for it sooner! Anyways, I got the dress that is pictured! It's really fun, and I'm going to alter it so that it is all the same length, like a tea length dress (I wonder why it's called Tea Length anyways, well I'll leave that up to one of my "avid" blog readers to answer!). I'm going next weekend to get it altered, so maybe I'll post a picture with me in the dress! =) Thanks everyone!

The Illusive Green Dress...

My sister-in-law is getting married, YEAH! And she's asked me to be in the wedding. Well, the stipulation on the bridesmaid dresses is simple...."any green dress that is not hunter or forest green." So being me and loving the color green I was stoked I could pick it out! But it's harder than you first might imagine. Today, I thought I would exhaust all the department and bridal stores and see what I came up with. And I found 1) A very rude and inconsiderate staff at one store 2) A creepy old man and just me ALONE in a very SMALL store (I didn't stay long) 3) this nice, sincere lady who was much too opinionated for me. 4) Department stores don't have the dress I want in my size....it's not made! I guess you can say I haven't had the best luck. So I thought I might open it up to my "faithful blog readers" (I don't think I have that many), but if any of you see a cute grass, bright green dress preferably in size 2, let me know!

I do have one possibility (pictured on the Left); let me know what you think. I have to go up to Salem this weekend to try it on in a different color and then order if I like it. So keep your fingers crossed that it's a winner because I'm running out of time (the wedding is in May) But this is definitely the type of color I'm looking for....so if anyone has suggestions please don't hesitate.

Oh and I'm feeling much better by the way. Still coughing up a little nasty yellow/white stuff occasionally, but overall much, much improved. Although, I tried to go running today, and let's just say it was a run/walk for 30 minutes and it almost killed me. Hopefully, I can build my strength back up, but it's just depressing when I was running 80 minutes no problem just 2 weeks ago!
