zzzak zak rerererebecca

welp, we were all there and yet, you know me...document, document, document.

how lovely to be together as a family supporting our favorite little zack/rebecca combo. i will personally thank matt and amy for coming out from utah, all the way to silver lake and then back to p'ville and also for helping with the amazon order of our gift. you guys are awesome and i miss you already and i hope your drive home went okay.

dad, thanks for the use of your camera, that was a real lifesaver for me.

and mom, you did well being upbeat despite your house concerns. by the way, congrats on the cutey new home! we are so excited for you and i know you will make it absolutely comfy and adorable. can't wait to see you work your magic.

some of my personal favorite moments from the wedding day/night include but are not limited to:

- watching zack get DOWN to "girls just wanna have fun"

- mikie, jamie, travis and kent doing the marriage RAP

- jarom blowing bubbles with his mouth and people running up to matt and amy and exclaiming, um, excuse me, i think your son is eating bubbles and it is frothing all down his chin! and matt and amy just smiling and nodding their acceptance of the sitch.

- jarom saying at the lake, "if nana's goin in, i'm goin in."

- nana going in.

- looking at beautiful pregnant mary in her wrap dress

- joey and emily's AWESOME dance moves

- watching amy gallop out onto the dance floor in her adorable outfit

- bella making sand-towers at the beach to the chagrin of all the boys

- witnessing the maher parents dancing every song

- finding out that our table-mate, josh, lived in the same house darin grew up in on fort jim road and now owns the property across the street with his sweet wife amber. our new friends!

- a preteen girl being so shy and starstruck by mikie that she ran and hid behind the curtains when he asked her to dance

- how beautiful and sweet it was to see zack and rebecca publicly expressing their love and devotion and considering the true meaning behind all the hoopla

- how beautiful and sweet all our family and friends were as we enjoyed just hanging out together

here are some of my favorite photos from the pangbroehrn weekend. i am not entirely sure if i am spelling that conjoined last name correctly, but it's a doozy.
