the baby mr & mrs porters!

my little brother-in-law got married!  he is a husband & she is a wife.  & that is crazy & awesome all at the same time.

we are so very happy for beau & cara.  the wedding was beautiful & the reception was super fun.

from the amazing videographers that videoed our wedding, here is a little peak at the wonderful day:

Fun Tulsa Wedding from Von Wedding Films on Vimeo.

cara cried during most of the ceremony.  beau cried.  blake cried.  two other groomsmen cried.  even dave cried.  it was so sweet.  

& probably the neatest, most touching part to us is that our siblings said the same vows we said.  that is so cool.

& if you thought i would just stop at that...you don't read my blog often enough :)  many many pictures to follow!

on our flight out to oklahoma, i got to sit next to the most adorable 9 year old girl.  after chatting with her the entire flight, she told me she had hoped she would get to sit next to another kid or me.  my heart melted.  & she was totally a little mini me.  hot pink glasses & all!

{no, parentals of ours.  that does NOT mean i am ready to have children.}

we made it to t-town just in time for the rehearsal dinner, mexican style!  {we were so so excited to eat oklahoma mexican.  yessss.}  cara was stunning & beau adorable in his sear sucker suit.  it was so fun to catch up with all of our family, especially cara & beau and peyton & justin at the head table :)

on saturday while the boys were boys, i got to do three of my favorite things: drink good coffee, get some sun, & read a book.  doubleshot quickly became my favorite coffee shop in tulsa when i lived there {years & years ago}.  i knew it as a little coffee shop run by the owner that was only open when he felt  like going to work.  it has doubled in size since i was there but has equally as wonderful coffee that is roasted at the store.

where it belongs.
genius.}

as i said, beau & cara's wedding ceremony was beautiful.  our wonderful friend & officiant of our wedding, rick hall, officiated this one too.  beautiful words were spoken about marriage & love & beau and cara.  i hope to hear him at many more wedding ceremonies, reminding us of the promises we made to each other  a short time ago.

& then the ridiculously fun reception!  we got to experience mr i.j. ganem & band as a wedding guest!  if you recall, i.j. was at our wedding, & we LOVED him.  cara & beau were the ones who told us about him.  so glad we listened.  & so glad we got to party all night with him again!

we were lucky enough to have the post-wedding brunch with the bride & groom.  we got to have breakfast at wolfgang puck's bistro in tulsa.  the food was great: crab cake benedict for me.  delish.  but how gorgeous is this bloody mary:

{i do suggest it.}

three porter boys are now very happily married.  & i am so glad & blessed i get to be a part of that.  

congratulations, cara & beau!

love love,

kjp.
