Shell's Wedding

My little sister got married this past weekend.  I am so happy for her and Zach, they are a perfect match and make a beautiful couple.  The wedding was a blast, down in San Diego.  Everyone stayed at the Loews (a stinkin nice hotel!) and the wedding took place on Coronado Island at a yacht club.  It was a perfect day and a fabulous celebration for the beginning of a great life together!

Zach's parents hosted the rehearsal dinner at such a fun restaurant right on the water.  We all sat outside warmed by fire pits and entertained by a live band.  Katelyn couldn't get enough of the dancing!

The whole gang (left to right): Katelyn, Steve, Monique, Luke, Zach, Michelle, Colette, Perry, Paul, Brooke

Michelle gave all the girls a coral silk robe to wear when we were getting ready, so fun!  Oh, and we all had matching flip-flops too (didn't get a picture of those).  Brooke made mimosas and breakfast for everyone, yummy!

On the balcony of the suite that all the bridesmaids took over for the day!

Are those awesome, or what?? (yes, she brought flip-flops for the reception!)

All ready for the big day!  This was on the way to the "reveal" location where Zach and Michelle first saw each other.  It was so sweet, we all teared up, of course!

My beautiful sister and I.  This was at Centennial Park on Coronado Island, the place where we took all the pre-wedding pictures.

The bridal party (left to right): Jen, Janelle, Kari, Brooke, Libby (Zach's sis), Monique, Michelle, Zach, Kenny, Trevor, Paul, Steve J., Steve M., (i totally blanked on the last guy...oops!)

Katelyn loves her auntie!  I think she thought Michelle was some kind of Disney princess!

Katelyn was a beautiful flower girl.  She did great walking up the isle with me, but as soon as we got to the front, she turned to me and yelled "Mommy, UPPIE!!" (pick me up).  So she sat with Grammie (aka Monkey) in the front row for most of the ceremony.  Luke got to hang out with Nana and Papa in the back.

 

Check out that background!!  It was such a sweet ceremony, you can tell they are SO in love!

Those are all the pics I have for now, I know the photographers got some amazing shots which I can't wait to see.  Somehow in the craziness of the day (which is an understatement with a 7-week old and a toddler), I forgot to take a picture of Luke in his adorable outfit.  He had a custom-made white onesie with a sewn-on tie and suspenders!  It was pretty adorable!  This is the closest pic I can find...he even had little sock-shoes to match!
