lexi's wedding

Wedding number three in a long year of weddings.

Lexi and I met back in college at Central Washington University. She was from Ellensburg and she would always invite our group of friends over to her parent's house for home cooked meals. When you're away from your family and another one is welcoming you with open arms and a home cooked meal, you always take them up on the offer. Lexi is good people and so is her family.

After a whirlwind courtship that started in Africa. (seriously! long story short, she met her husband to be on the plane for a study abroad trip. Both went to CWU and didn't meet until waiting in the airport for the flight!) Lexi married her prince charming, Tyler, in a grand affair at a ranch in Thorp, Washington. I've been to many weddings and this by far was incredibly unique and expressed both of their personalities perfectly.

Her wedding was filled with fun and love - a groom's reception, the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, toasts, dancing, karaoke, and ice cream.

gorgeous bride!

wedding weekend

this summer i have four friends getting married. one a month till october. last month, my bff tied the knot with her sweetie, and this month my college roommate married her long time beau. 

samantha is probably one of the coolest people on the planet. she is smart, relatable, funny, and generous. i hope everyone has the opportunity to meet someone like her in their lifetime. both of us worked for housing and we were one of the very few groups of resident assistant's required to have another ra as a roommate. i didn't know her before we were assigned to the same apartment; this could have been disastrous, but it turned out to be one of the best experiences of my life. we spent many days/nights watching 90210 (the original) and one tree hill on soapnet, eating cases of popcorn, and weekly workout wednesdays. 

i was so excited when she asked me to come to her wedding. the wedding was absolutely beautiful, it was a room filled with love for the happy couple. congrats you two!
