The week of Bulthuis-family-fun-sans-most-of-the-Bulthuis' continues!

 

Today the lovely Ms. Rebecca Bishop (Markus's cousin) became Mrs. Henry Boykin and it was an honor to be there to witness their vows.

 

Jenny and I bonded. Clearly.

 

We took the Little's swimming and explored Olympia and the Capitol Building (and caused a ruckus when we flung phones/walked over/dropped metal rods on the roped off seal of Washington) before raising our cupcakes (and costume pieces) to the new Mr. and Mrs.

Congratulations Charis and Josh!

 

In a beautiful ceramony in Auburn, these two finally tied the knot...and it was such an honor to be there. It is so clear how deeply they love each other, love God, and love their friends and family. They are some of the smartest, kindest, gracious people I know, and I am thrilled they have each other!

 

 

 

Ps. We learned how to line dance. We were cool.

Congratulations Johanna and Lee!

 

Today was beautiful. "It is rare that people being so blatantly in love is ok," said Kali  between tears...and really, one cannot help but be happy for these two, because watching them, one knows that what they have begun is a good thing. They were married with all the joy and gravity and celebration a commitment like this deserves, and everyone there was blessed to be a part of it.

 

You two are amazing, thank you for letting me be part of your lives.

Congratulations Holly and Xavi!

 

These two are adorable and it was such an honor to celebrate with them at an intimate ceremony (also attended by most of Holly's nine siblings!) in Holy and Xavi's backyard. It was short and sweet, with homade cooking and beer to follow, and was warm and true to who these two are.

 

I wish you guys all the very best and I hope you're enjoying Sun River in it's entirety!

Congratulations Sarah and Chris! 

What an honor it was to be a part of this beautiful day - Sarah, my love, I couldn't be happier for you.
How exciting to celebrate so fully the beginning of this new family, and this commitment you two have chosen to make to each other. Thank you for letting us stand by you.

 I love you so dearly!
