My brother's wedding was yesterday. I asked my boss for the day off, so I took an early flight Monday morning from Boise to Portland. I rented a car (got a free upgrade to a Caddilack, bwaha), and drove to Seaside, Oregon, where the wedding was.

It went pretty good, I got to see a lot of family I haven't seen since Christmas (and some longer). The brother who got married was Jason, he's about a year older than me. He met his wife, Megan, in Job Corp a few years ago. It was a pretty informal wedding, it was out at the beach and people were asked to dress comfortably. The weather was supposed to be nicer, but at least it didn't rain (it was just foggy/clouder and cold).

My flight back was Tuesday morning (6AM, meaning I had to leave Seaside at 2:30AM). I got back to Boise and was picked up by my co-workers and we went back to work.

Anyway, pictures!

Some nice scenery pics of Cannon Beach, where they got married. It's one of the most photographs part of the Oregon coast.















The wedding arch.


The family.


The beautiful bride.


Jason and Megan. Jason is wearing a hat because he has psoriasis, bad scabs on his scalp. He went to get the haircut for the wedding and told the guy not to make it too short. Well, he did. They had a choice between scabs and a hat and they chose the hat.


Jason and Megan


Megan and her mom.


Megan and her dad.


Megan and her bridesmaids.


My dad and Kim. Kim is his current girlfriend, they used to be married. My dad likes to recycle his girlfriends.


Megan, her grandpa and grandma, and Jason.


Megan, Jason, and my mom.


Megan's dad, Megan's mom, Megan, Jason, my mom, my dad.


Megan with her mom and dad.


My dad, Megan, Jason, and Kim.


My dad conducted the ceremony. He got ordained online. He wanted us to refer to him as 'Your Holyness' and kept asking people to confess their sins to him.






The Kiss!




Michelle (my sister) and Jason. Michelle is pregnant (about a month or two I think).


Party time!


The groomsmen, groom, and minister. All with beer and cigars.


The bride and my dad. The bible used was actually a fairy tale book Megan has had since she was a child. Neither family is religious. Megan also wrote all of what my dad said at the wedding.


Mmmm, cake.


The top part of the cake.


Catching the bouquet.


There's quite a few, so it may take a while to load.

Very pretty!
So is the bride old enough to drink at her own wedding? :-p She looks like she's barely out of highschool.

She's like 22 or 23. Her car has a sticker on the front windshield that says something like "tiny chics rule." :-p

In random order:

1. Awww, they look so cute together! *coo*

2. And great pics of the location!

3. Michelle reminds me of you, and yet, not.

4. Your Dad is looking goooood.

5. "Your Holiness". *snicker*

6. Meep! Don't smoke near the pregnant lady! *meep*

7. got a free upgrade to a Caddilack. Oh. I thought you said you got a car. ;p

In random order:

OK, not really. That'd be a bit too confusing.

1. Yeah, they're great :-D

2. Yeah, it's a really beautiful place. I've been in that area several times, but never actually been down to Cannon Beach or seen the view we had at the wedding.

3. Is it because she has boobs?

4. Yeah, he's doing good. He finishes his hyperbolic treatments this week and then is pretty much done with major treatments (just general check ups and lots of pills).

5. Yeah. Among other things. ;-)

6. *sigh* she smokes. It bugs me as well as a lot of other people, and we've made our intentions known. She has stopped drinking completely, which is good.

7. Are you referring to the fact that I misspelled 'Cadillac' or that a Cadillac isn't really a car? :-p

P.S.
You don't look much like your family memembers. Weird. I guess it proves that you were grown in a Lab.
