without my camera.

As I said before, Jen and Nick had the best attitude. They flew all the way from Kentucky along with their friends and family to get married on the Oregon Coast. I was shocked to hear among their fifty guests thirteen different states were represented. Can you believe that? Their guests flew in from all over the country, literally, to celebrate.
The weather almost seemed to add intimacy to Jen and Nick's wedding weekend. To say it rained on their wedding day might be a understatement. However, here's the thing about rain-- it forces one inside to get cozy with the people you love-- not a bad quality on a wedding weekend! Thank goodness rain on a wedding day means good luck, although it didn't seem Jen and Nick needed any. They, along with their close friends and family, celebrated their marriage at Ecola State Park (in the rain) and partied at the Surfsand Resort in Cannon Beach. I think it's safe to say everyone was so excited for them!
A huge thank you to the VENDORS!
