Wedding Bells

Our newest daughter, Maleena, was married to Max Burns on Saturday. After weeks of rain, the sun broke through for a beautiful day! We don't have the photos from the photographer yet, but here are a few informal pics I took. The wedding was simple and beautiful, and the reception turned out just the way she wanted it. It was wonderful to have so many family members join us for the happy, happy day.

The cute little Pioneer Oaks Chapel where they were married in Portland. Sorry for the crooked angle - I was hurrying to cross the street when I snapped it. There's Mark holding Katie's hand in front of me.
Waiting to enter the chapel - holding her train. 
The bridesmaid facing the camera is Maleena's cousin, Amanda.

Nate and Mark. Mark is holding Blake (Nate's son). Blake was one of the ring bearers. The other ring bearer was Landon, Amanda's son. Neither one of them knew they were supposed to walk down the aisle when the time came, even though their mothers were both bridesmaids and beckoning to them. So cute!

My mom and me. Don't we look great? 
We didn't even plan to have our dresses so nicely coordinated!

Maleena and Max at the reception. So happy!

She was amazing! Thank you, Kendra!
