Denver Finnfest!

We headed out to Denver this past weekend for Katie Finn's wedding.  It was wonderful to see one of my very best friends from college get married and so sweet to see the new little Finn-Santana family. (Photos courtesy of Lauren Frye- Thanks, Laur!)

The Happy Couple :)

The Bachelorette Party started at Nicole and Brad's super cute house in Denver.  It was 1920s themed so we tried our best to don flapper appropriate style.  Sad this is the only picture I took with the bride all weekend, but just wanted to say love you, KT Finn!

 Opening presents.

 The guests.  And also check out Nicole's super cute house and Vasanta's awesome 20s attire.  After cocktails and presents, we went out to dinner and did some dancing!  Latest this mama's been up in quite some time but so wonderful to spend a night with my girls!  (Three girls nights in a row happened courtesy of the best husband ever, who may have been hiding in the bathroom reading while a little Samantha slept in the room).

On Friday morning the girls headed to the nail salon for manis and pedis.  Cute bride!

Maddie was so glad to see her little cousin. Love that little girl!

You know just your typical nail salon-burrito snacking time.

After nails we did girls lunch at Grandma Jills.  Love this cute shot of Auntie Kim and Maddie :)

 The Rehearsal Dinner was at Maple Grove Park- right between Wheat Ridge and Golden.  What a cute venue, delicious BBQ and great company.

This is possibly the best family shot we have so far.  

 Samantha loved Katie's dad :)

 The girlies and their husbands!  So wonderful to all actually be in the same place (and see the husbands as well!)

 Cuteness during toasts.

 It was awesome getting to know the Santana family, and they were wonderful hosts for the rehearsal dinner.  They even thought of putting up a pinata for the kids! 

 On Saturday morning, the princeton folk headed out to breakfast in Golden.  Samantha loved spending some quality time with her aunties.

 Then some of us headed out for a walk.  Love that this picture captured the mamas together (just missing KT!)

Then we headed to the bridal suite to get ready for the big occasion!  Maddie with her Grandmas- wonderful to spend time with these ladies :)

 Seriously the best mom ever!

 And do you get any cuter then Maddie and her "Best Girl" Nora.  These two were possibly the best flower girls ever!

 Nicole doing her Maid of Honor duties.

 I don't currently have any pictures of the ceremony, but it was held in the gorgeous Calvary Episcopal Church in Golden, CO.  The minister who officiated the ceremony was a member of the family that introduced Katie and Steven, so his wedding charge was super sweet and meaningful.  What a beautiful ceremony that testified to God's goodness and plan in both Katie and Steven's lives!

After the ceremony we headed over to Rolling Hills Country Club for the reception.  Here's the Princeton 11 (minus Alex!)  Since Andrew was the only Princeton guy, he got disincluded from the picture- but promise he was there being an awesome daddy!

 Tiff, Lauren (33 weeks), Vasanta, Amanda, Nicole, STEVEN, Katie, Laura (17 weeks), Bonnie, Kim, and Joanna.  Hope Steven knows he just inherited all of us girls along with Katie!

 Beautiful view from the Country Club- everything in Colorado was gorgeous and crisp.  We definitely weren't missing East Coast humidity!

 One last family shot at the reception!

Katie, Steven, and Maddie- we so loved sharing your special day, getting to know all your family and friends, and seeing the many ways God's hand is working in your lives!  So glad you're coming to the East Coast- even if it's only for one year!
