well worth the wait.

I traveled down to the coast this weekend to see my husband who returned from fishing in Alaska and (more importantly??) to attend Joel and Rachael's wedding. After 11.9 years they have finally made it down the aisle!! And we couldn't be happier for them. I can assure you there will be more pictures to come, but for now I will leave you with these few. 

Most of the Jansen ladies. Lindsey is 35 weeks pregnant with twins so she stayed home. Jen was caring for her little ones. And Rachael was busy being a bride.

Erik rocked a braid at the wedding, compliments of my niece. He kept it all night... and I have to admit that I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Two of my brothers were M.C.'s for the night. I thought they were hilarious, but I have always thought they were funny. You would have to ask someone not related to me for an honest opinion.

And, of course, the bride and groom sharing their first dance as husband and wife. I must say that it was a pretty perfect wedding, which is exactly what they deserved. It was well worth the wait.
