Surrounded by sun and rain and llamas and rainbows, Molly and I were married on 9/9/2019.

Events leading up to the big day were almost as fun as the day itself!

A week before the wedding, a friend Molly met at work invited us to go backstage and watch a beachboys concert! We even got to dance on stage with them!
Megan Flew up from DC to Surprise Molly and help her get things together in mid august. Naturally, several games of giant Jenga were Required :P

Molly and the girls rented a house at the beach for her Bachelorette Party, the boys and I were content to have a huge tournament of chess, Smash Bros, and Othello. The girls actually came and surprised us as we were having a night out playing laser tag (I know -- I'm basically still 16). Finally, we all went White Water Rafting down the White Salmon River.

This is my kind of bachelor party!
Surprise laser tag ⚡⚡⚡
This is the aftermath of going down husum falls, the biggest drop on our whitewater trip down the white salmon. SO. MUCH. FUN.

On the morning of the wedding, we booked out a bunch of spots on the golf course, and played a huge round of golf together. It was a great way to keep it relaxed during the morning, while having fun as a group.

Ready to ⛳

When we finished up our round, it was time for final preparations...

ready to lift things!
as we finished getting ready, I remember Molly coming over, full of nerves, asking which song she should walk out to. We had an awesome moment just sitting together in a hidden alcove by the balcony

By this time, everything was ready and the ceremony was about to begin!

As i stood waiting with Pastor Hoelter, it was drizzling gently outside, but I literally couldn't stop smiling. I remember my face started to get sore from smiling so much!
The Moment had come!
Molly was so nervous it would rain on us during the ceremony, but as she came out, the rain literally stopped, and we had a rainbow with a dark cloudy backdrop. It was amazing.
The ceremony was short and simple. We took traditional vows, but read each other notes that we made for each other. I still couldn't stop smiling :P
ONce we were done, it was time to zoom zoom off to the reception!

The reception lasted far into the night...

There were speeches
And Llamas! (Molly and I met these llamas at a brewery and I couldn't help but surprise her by having them make a special appearance)
We Danced together
Including some sweet synchronized moves!
Cake Was needed for Nourishment
We even had the poker instructions board from our first poker night!
All I know is that I would chase this smile all the way around the world without a second of hesitation

And with that, we were off to the races: and the rest of our lives together <3
