I Announce to you....Jon and Jeanne Joslin

I've been wanting to share my brothers wedding with all of you for quite some time, now I've finally got all the pictures on my computer, unfortunately, they are not that fantastic b/c our camera decided to quit working at this most important time in our family, so these are all from my phone. Better than nothing. This day really meant a lot to me b/c I am soooo happy for my brother, Jon. He has found the most wonderful woman and her family to share his life with. He is the biggest hearted, most kind hearted, most loving man and soooo deserved this family. I can't explain how proud I am of him and Jeanne and the girls, Hallie and Olivia...I'm so excited that they are in our family now (well officially, they've been in our family for a long time already). That Will calls Jeanne, Aunt Jeanne and H and O, his cousins. Both the girls are extra sweet to Will, but he's got a big connection with Olivia, he's just drawn to her. Jon and Jeanne had their wedding at The Chrysalis Inn and Spa in Bellingham, WA. Right on the water, it was gorgeous. It was very small and intimate and just perfect. I've never experienced a small wedding like this before, and as much as I LOVED mine and Jeremy's large wedding, I loved this wedding just as much. I think it was just...them. The room was filled with hope, love, and laughter. And I have to share about the flowers...the flowers were amazing...gorgeous, and again just perfect. They just rounded out Jon and Jeanne, they were beautiful fall colors and complimented and "finished" the venue. Oh and by the way... :-) The flower arrangements just happen to be created by one of my best friend's Kate Fadden of In Bloom Designs. (And Jeanne works as a labor and delivery nurse at the hospital where Kate delivered Riley. Small world, huh?)
A few other little extras, Jon and Jeanne wrote their own vows, they were gorgeous and personal and had cute little inside jokes, again, they were just...them. Also, the woman you see in the pics that presided over the ceremony and married Jon and Jeanne, was Jeanne's sister! Lastly, you'll see in a picture below where Jon and Jeanne are standing to the side and Hallie and Olivia are standing in the bride and groom's spot. Thats b/c they exchanged rings with them too...they are all committed to each other and their family. (Oh and one more thing, I have to say...Will and Molly looked soooooo cute in their wedding dress and wedding suit). Will and Molly with my mom, their grandma.

Try and look at those adorable gold shoes on Molly's feet. A lot of work went into finding those shoes. I never thought I would find shoes that matched her dress or that were small enough for her feet...So thank you Nancy! (Jeremy's mom) We went on a hunt and found them at Gymboree but they didn't have them in her size, so Nancy went out of her way and took an extra trip to another Gymboree to pick them up. Thank you Nancy! They were perfect and were a huge hit at the wedding. :-)

Will with his Daddy, he was very proud to be wearing a suit just like his daddy.

Look at my cute Molly, I just love this whole outfit, dress, tights, shoes, everything.

I love this picture of my mom with Molly, the back of her super cute dress and my mom peeking around.

I love this picture of Jeanne with her girls b/c it shows all of them in the same position, all their backs, you can tell they're related.

I love this picture of Jon, it brings tears to my eyes, I am just so proud and happy for him, and he looks so proud and happy while waiting for his bride.

Will sitting with Daddy, he was such a gentlemen through the whole ceremony, he didn't make a peep.
