The day of the marriage of Brandon Jepson & Shannon Kipp. Or as I call it, "Shandon Day." Presented here are the few pictures I managed to gather before my camera lost power and/or blew a fuse.

First of all, this Lake Washington, on the shores of which stood the hall where the wedding presided. North end of the lake, in the Lake Forest Park neighborhood. There were people jetskiing, windsurfing even, and the water felt great to my fingertips.
Here's the hall it was in. I had fun setting up the lanterns.
Focus in on the nifty banners!
The hall while still empty (save for Maisie, the only shot I got of her)...
...later, filling up with people...
...And late as dinner in gorged.
Don't ask me to spell them, they're pronounced "orderves". Bah, french!
This is me, looking dapper.
The first shot I got of the couple, pre-ceremony, yes I know it came it too dark. But you can see the lake in the background!

Mom holding the adorable Raj
These are my cousins Loren & Erin...
...and Carrie.
Shannon's sis Christie with her daughter Zoe
Zoe & her gymnastic-gold-medal-winning cousin Lily
2 Kipp nephews named Andrew (elder) & Alexander (younger). I call them "Andrewxander"
If you tell me that Sasha is not gorgeously adorable, I'll show you your heart is black and/or your eyes are blind.
The kids had some crafts to do for fun. I showed Sasha how to draw hearts. She loved it, drew many.
This is Dana. I just realized that all of Shannon's nieces are really cute (whether they're blood relatives or not).
These are my lifelong neighbors, the Harpers. L to R: Greg, Zach, Sarah, Karen. They are lovely, wonderful people.
Myself with Sarah & Karen. I think Sarah looks kind of like Christina Applegate, no?
And here is the entire compliment of Jet City guests at the wedding, save one (I neglected to get a picture of Destiny).
First, Shawnessee McKelvey. I was ecstatic to see her again. It's impossible not to love her.
The sensuous vixen Kate Jaeger
Mike Christiansen, Dart London & Derek Greenleaf, serving at the bar.
2 real beauties, Annette Auger & Celene Ramadan, with Celene's boyfriend who looks like (IMHO) the most handsom of the Doctor Who's, David Tennat.
Annette and Adina Gillet (what a pretty red & black dress!)
Andrew McMasters, Kyle Kizzier, and Justin Sund. Both Mike and Kyle wore kilts. Dashing!
Doug Willott, Jeremy Matthews, and Brandon Baker, and 2 of their ladies, whose names escape me.
John Axel, Steve Lange, and Ian Schempp.
Dart & John, back for another shot.
Lauren Domino & her man. In this picture she totally reminds me of the beautiful Elliot from Scrubs.
One of the caterers was really hot. Like a grown-up Luna Lovegood, in my opinion.
Sasha almost slept through the ceremony. And she was a ringbearer, too!
THE CEREMONY
Speeches were given by Doug Willot
(very funny, you can see)
...Dart London
...this lovely lady in green
...this lovely lady in a dress I think is beautiful
...and my mother.
Also there was one by myself but I didn't get a picture.
And the magic happens...
Bring forth the Ring,
And here, though my camera-clicking timing was off, husband and wife had just kissed.
They had dinner on the same spot they tied the knot. Say that 3 times fast.
Here's the better catch of the family group photos:
The Boyles (my mom's family)
Closeup
The Jepsons (my dad's family)
*yawn*
Here's a fun part. Brandon & Shannon made up a large number of buttons for the guests to wear, each with a witty phrase on it. People could pick one to match their personality.
