Here’s a little sneak peak from the ridiculously awesome wedding of Deron+Melissa. They just so happened to be the very first folks to book us in good ol’ Seattle. And I’m not sure if they even knew that. :)

Deron+Melissa… we couldn’t be more thrilled to have gotten to know you both (and Marcus) over the past few months. You are an incredible joy to be around and have an incredible family full of more smiles and laughs than one can handle alone! We could not have asked for a better start to working in Seattle!

Today is my little brothers 21st birthday and I wanted to send him some internet love! His name is actually Aaron, but has long been called Merlin by our nieces and it stuck with the rest of the world. Merlin is currently living in Florida, and it has been way too long since we’ve seen his cute little face.

So here’s to the best little brother I could ever ask for! We love you bro! Happy Birthday!

Normally our Sundays are filled with nothing. Nada. Typically we’re busy trying to recover from the day before. And although we need a day of recovery after our spankin’ awesome wedding yesterday… we have far too much to accomplish in such little time.

So here is a sneak peak into our Sunday…

So far, everything’s got a little check next to it.. minus the hockey game that is starting T minus one hour. And the clean the office part. That’s just a disaster.

I’d say we gave Sunday a pretty solid kick in the pants.

Hey all. A big thanks to both Laura and Marjan who recently kicked off some reviews of us at a few spots on the web. Your words were oh’ so kind and we were pleasently surprised to find your reviews!

So we thought we would spread the word and let you know that we are now both on Yelp! and WeddingWire. So if you would like to leave us some love and spread the Brighten goodness, feel free to drop on by and leave a little review. We’d be oh’ so grateful!

Today is sunny. And that is marvelous. Happy Friday.
