Last girl "going to the Chapel"

Now it was Sarah's turn to tie the knot!  (Bottom left corner)

She had waited quite long enough for that ring on her finger, including a year long separation while Jason fought in Afganistan.  After that, why drag out the wedding planning? So the wedding preparations began in a flurry to meet the wedding date only two months away!  

Most of her bridesmaides lived all across the country, so it was up to her Mom, sister Mary, and I to pull off the couples bridal shower.  It was a good thing Kate flew in from Minnesota to help since little Claire decided to arrive as Mary iced the cupcakes the day before the party.  The best part of the event was the food.  We had an amazing spread of Asian dishes paired with Dogfishead Pumpkin Ale (Sarah's favorite).

  Last night on the town in DC

The bachlorette was a small affair as there were two newborns among the bridesmaids.  The original plan was to camping, but with the arrival of the babies, we decided dinner at Cava Mezze and a backyard bonfire would have to suffice.

THE rehearsal dinner.
