Congratulations to Dr. and Mrs. Michael Buyske

We just shared the most perfect weekend ever!  Kelly did some digging and found two houses on the ocean to stay in for Mike and Melissa's wedding.  They were perfect - right Jen and Ali with the stairs??  Kelly cooked her little buns off and brought enough food for everyone on Thursday night!  Friday the guys all got together for lunch and we women shared a shot of Hot Damn in honor of Mike - minus Erin who was napping.  Remember, this girl had a C section May 24th and drove from Billings to Port Ludlow to share in Michael's day!  Jen, Ali, Molly, Meg and I loaded up and drove the half hour to Melissa's parents beach house to decorate the hall for the rehearsal dinner.  This was our smallest one as it was just wedding party and siblings and families.  I had to drive a half hour back for the rehearsal so the girls ended up doing it and they did a fantastic job.  Nautical theme which was a blast!!  We had BBQ'd burgers and dogs, MT beer and WA wine!  Saturday we decorated the reception hall and tent for Melissa.  Her decorations were simple and beautiful.  Ginger and Roy Bilile stopped in and we had a great visit!  Pictures at 1:30 and we were all dressed and there.  They weren't taken until 3:15 as the photographer was dragging poor Melissa up and down hills and stairs at another location.  The wedding was simple and beautiful.  A bagpiper escorted the crowd the two blocks to the reception which was lovely.  Hors d'oeuvres and drinks were served then dinner.  We moved to the hall for dancing.  The whole weekend was just fantastic.  Thank you to Johnny, Annie, Rika, Hanna, Bri, Peter, Sabina and Sailor for making the trek!!  Marc's brother, wife, two daughters, one husband and two kids were also there.  My only regret was that we did not get a Buyske family picture for Marc's dad.  Erin, Henry and Harrison left right after they ate as Henry was melting down.  The view from the house was amazing!  We then hosted a brunch for about 40 or so on Sunday at the house.  Had lots of breads, fruit, mimosas, eggs!  It was a nice time to get to sit and visit!  Mike had six of his high school friends come to the wedding and two made it to the breakfast!  All in all, couldn't have asked for a better time!  Thank you Mike and Melissa for all that you did for everyone.  Meg was in charge of reception decorations and picture taking and did it up in real style!!
