Christine and Joel's Wedding

Today was the fabulous day of Christine and Joel's wedding! Close family and friends gathered together today at Garrett and Christa's home (good friends of Chrstine), to celebrate the union of this gorgeous couple! The atmosphere was just amazing, filled with love and the ceremony was so beautiful! It was the perfect day for the perfect couple! Congrats!

Some of you may or may not know this, however, Christine used be an avid collector of smurf figures when I first met her 10 years ago. I do not believe she has this collection anymore as when she moved to Vancouver, she gave up the majority of her smurf collection. On Thursday, my friend, Cindy, and I went to Zydico looking for something completely different and I came across a bride and groom smurf! Needless to say, IT WAS A SIGN! I swooped them up with out any hesitation. I hope you like them Christine and Joel!!!




Here is a picture of the lovely bride and groom! I love you guys!!!

Me, looking so very sad because I just got stung by a damn wasp!



Me, looking much happier now that I have a beer to numb the sting.

As per Christine's instructions, we were to BYOC (bring your own chair). LOL! I love it! Here is a picture of nathan sitting amongst the sea of BYOC's :o)

After the cermony and drinks, we headed out to our favorite Victoria Japanese Restaurant, Futaba!!! It was only friends allowed :o) Here is a picture of me doing a 'happy dance" infront of Futaba. It's been a really long time since we've been there.

Jen drinking her drink that tastes like 'feet'! The funny thing is that she drank it ALL!!! She even had the "ick" facial expression on her face as she was drinking it.

Goodnight to the happy couple! It was a great day and it was so great seeing everyone together!
