Our work crew was up bright and early again this morning with two things in mind.
Initially, we needed to keep working on all of the flower arrangements for Saturday's wedding ceremony.
Also on our agenda was preparing the Johnson's backyard for tonight's rehearsal BBQ dinner for the wedding party's family, all out of town guests and, of course, our entire work crew.
I had an off campus chore to deal with first, head to the Fred Meyer store in Seattle's Ballard District trying to find eight cans of sterno, long handled BBQ tongs, two large bottles of coffee creamer and two boxes of coffee pods. It took a minute to find everything but I was up to the task!
I rewarded myself at this
locally owned coffee hut with . . .
. . . this delicious concoction to go
On the way back to the Johnson's, I had to drive through the Fremont District and just had to stop to take a quick look at a famous startue.
Not John but . . .
. . . Vladimir Ilyich Lenin
The Lenin statue's history dates
back to 1988 Czechoslovakia
I could not linger for long, there was work to be done.
Mary Ruth from Bellevue, Washington,
Lindy from Hawaii and Laurie hard
at work while Dori from Tennessee
was helping with the day's cooking
The backyard was looking good
but was far from done
A quiet sculler goes past our venue
The tent area was starting to take
shape after the linen was added
Flowers ready for the wedding
NOW we were ready for the
evening dining al fresco
I had to leave the fun again to pick up four wedding party guests who were needed for the actual wedding rehearsal.
This afternoon's rehearsal and
Saturday's wedding both are
happening at this spot
The Seattle Yacht Club that was founded in 1892.
Let the BBQ BEGIN!
The early arrivers were in the
tent area for the most part
Mallory and Chester were our
Master Grillers this afternoon
A cute couple, Mallory is the sister of the bride.
Sophia Johnson IS the bride!
The party was in full swing now
Everyone seemed to be having a good time and all of the food was top notch and plentiful.
Up next, Wedding Saturday Madness with our work crew gathering to put the finishing touches on the ceremonies at 6:30 a.m.
Stay tuned . . .
