Sydna and Shane's Wedding

So while we were home for the backyard bash, Syd and Shane got married. They are doing the big wedding next year but because of Shane's visa situation they did a small courthouse wedding this year. We all headed to the courthouse around 1:00. The judge came outside so they were able to get married in a little grassy courtyard under a tree. The ceremony was very short and sweet. Then a bunch of us did the Taos cruise honking and shouting like crazy people, it was lots of fun. After that everyone headed back to the house for a delicious brunch. My dad had the chef from the restaurant come and prepare brunch. There was lobster cocktail, eggs Benedict, caviar, ahi tuna, artichoke dip, smoked salmon and lobster claws. All of the food was so good. Then they cut the cake and had their first dance and then we all just hung out for the rest of the afternoon. A few people stayed late and we had a fun little poker game at the end of the night. I can't believe my baby sister is married but I also couldn't be happier. Shane is the perfect match for my sister and I know he will make her very happy. Congrats Syd and Shane we love you guys!!!

A few of the girls came over before the ceremony and we had a mimosa toast before heading to the courthouse.
