Congratulations......Mr. and Mrs. Vander- Khuu

What an amazing weekend we had in Portland celebrating the marriage of Jaime (Vander) and Datton! They hosted a really fun, beautiful, intimate wedding....both a traditional Vietnamese ceremony and a reception. It was wonderful to be hanging out with the girls again, the weather was beautiful...and of course there were plenty of laughs! Vander was SUCH a calm and beautiful bride....who didn't even get worked up with the sewer momentarily backed up into the honeymoon suite!

Thanks again for the wonderful time....and here's wishing you an amazingly full filled life together....with lots of cute kids:)

The weekend started out with pedicures and dinner at Manzana.

Friday was the traditional Vietnamese ceremony....what a great experience! It was awesome to be a part of..... and Vander did a GREAT job of acting like she knew exactly what was going on! Here is Datton and Lauren and Hayden.
Some of the girls with Vander and her traditional outfit--she looked awesome!

We spent the evening eating delicious food and hanging out with friends. A portion of the Kennedy family....
The beautiful couple....

The next day we headed to the wedding venue...here is Dave making fun of our 'Sorority Girl Pose'....we can't help it....ask us to pose for a picture and we all bend at the waist...its from all those years of photos at functions!

Helping Vander get ready....why does Kelli look so confused?

Vander and Datton being introduced at the reception....look at those red shoes!

Brad and Stace....just in love:)

Kendal and Colin were real troopers for the night...Kendal even brought her pajamas so she could stay up and dance!

Let the dancing begin....and the arms start to fly......
Sisters cutting a rug....
I'm not sure if Tara is putting ear-muffs on Kendal due to the rap music....but one thing is for sure....if you want to be one of 'the girls'....you have to love to dance!!
Eight months pregnant and SUCH a trooper! I'm sure Shan wishes that glass of wine was for her....but she danced with the best of us!

There were several dance competitions during the night...but it is REALLY hard to beat Lauren doing the near-jump-splits on the dance floor....hilarious! It will put you in first place every time!

Just like the good old days....except Kendal is joining them...Tara and Brian hit the dance floor...

The happiest couple that night......

See...here is proof....calm and beautiful....even while posing in front of the honeymoon suite by the Rescue Rooter truck.....
