Scenes from the weekend

 Hatley Castle on a glorious summer day

 Wedding day!

{this one's for the Doctor Who fans}

Prettiest wedding cake ever 

 Pacific Ocean, Olympic Mountains, cruise ship

 Dad & Alan hanging out at the reception

 The bride's family is tall! Alan and I are not.

 Canucks win game 2 in overtime! Groomsmen break out the Vancouver jerseys!

Beautiful bride et moi

 Sunday morning refreshment

 Enormous strawberry

 First peony to open

Our lilacs are still going strong!

 Sunny day in the yard

What a fabulous weekend! I really wish it weren't over. It was 25 degrees both days, the sun shone, we saw friends we love get married. We ate, we drank, we danced, we laughed... with family and with friends. It felt great. The Canucks are one game closer to the Stanley Cup and that feels great too {people are going crazy, you should see the flags everywhere!}. The boys had so much fun at their picnic and sleepover with Auntie Pat. Dylan rode his bike without training wheels for the first time! {I haven't got photos, as I was running along behind him, steadying the bike, and cheering him along} Everything about the weekend was perfect. It's a shame that it's Monday again already. It was just starting to feel like summer vacation. I'm so glad the real thing is less than 4 weeks away!

  3. Sounds like a fantastic weekend. I believe most of Denmark is also cheering for Vancouver Canucks, Jannick Hansen is the only Dane ever to be in the final:)

  4. That wedding looks amazing! How gorgeous is that castle. I love pretty weddings :)

    The peonies looks lovely. I wish I had some in my backyard.

    25 degrees is a warmer winter day for us here. It was about 23 degrees today. x

    And I agree ... love that cake!

    We were actually warm here too - and had a big community picnic/festival so we were out yesterday. I'm ready for summer to come and my yearly West Coast holidays!!
