Even though the Big Day wasn't until Sunday, we decided to go to Cannon Beach on Saturday for pre-wedding fesitivities. We started the weekend by having a girls' wine tasting event at a local wine bar. Can't think of a better way to begin her wedding events!
It was also a lot of fun to catch up with her friends and family from Southern California who were up for the big event. Some of them I hadn't seen in years, so it was great to reconnect with all of them!
The bride, Trac and I at Steph & Ryan's (Dresel's sis & bro-in-law) wedding-eve BBQ. And yes, the red eyes are from crying. Perhaps a little too much wine??
Lawrence and I in front of Steph & Ryan's view of Haystack Rock. What a beautiful sight to wake up to each morning!
The next day, some of us girls woke up early to help set up for her reception. I never fully appreciated hanging tissue balls until now! I think Annie and I may have over-analyzed each ball's heighth, size and distance from one another :) It was so much fun to see her ideas come together that morning. She may have been one of the most organized and calmest brides on their wedding day!

In the 14 years since I've known Dresel, she had always talked about wanting to get married on the beach. Her wish definitely came true in Cannon Beach!
The new Mr. & Mrs. Knutson!

View of the tissue balls set up by the Hanging Queens - oops, I think I see one too low and off-centered...dang...
Loved all the reception details!
This was used as the guestbook - a tree of thumbprints with each guest's name!
Us girls having a bathroom line dance party! And wow, someone's legs haven't seen the light of day in way too long. This would have been a good time to utilize a spray tan, or at least a little Jergen's...
What a fun and beautiful wedding! Congrats, Knutsons! We love you!!
Great pics...yet again I am the only one wearing a coat...ughhh!!!
