We drove up with Elizabeth (because Takeshi couldn’t make it) to Bellingham on Thursday, stopping on the way in Tacoma for food and a memory lane stroll through the UPS campus. We shuttled ourselves back and forth between bridesmaids events, and close friend events, and guest events, and the hotel.
We joined the rehearsal dinner for pizza in a lakeside park. You enjoyed some Bachelorette parting, and then at the bachelor(ette) afterparty, we reunited and enjoyed mac and cheese bits and chicken tenders with dips at an arcade bar with pinball.
Friday we got brunch at Greene’s Corner, the best walk up bar with health food. I can’t even remember what we ordered but it was so delicious and healthy. I got a kombucha and you got a tea.
Having some time to kill, we visited the Big Rock Garden, where we met Turtle, and explored a bunch of beautiful and fascinating sculptures!
We arrived on time and waited to be let in, and Margaret looked fucking fire in her green silk dress. We enjoyed the beautiful ceremony with very personal and touching vows.
The dance party went all night long playing a list of songs the guests help curate.
And around the corner was a room full of pies and cookies! Woah.
The next morning, we joined the wedding party for brunch at a place overwhelmed for the day, having no espresso, too few workers, and out of some foods. But we had a great chat and coffee after. We stopped to get Jalapeño White Balsamic Vinegar and Cilantro & Onion Olive Oil from Drizzle.
We started heading back after that and stopped in Tacoma again at Fire House no. 9, Elizabeth’s father’s favorite.
