Andrew and Elyse opted for an atypical reception.  Instead of head tables and formal dances they rented out the Snoqualmie Brewery and threw a party for their friends and family.  Laughter and joy spilled over each table as the power of good food and good company kept the night afloat.  But don't think there wasn't dancing, because there was definitely dancing.
As the night came to a close we stole away to a nearby park, cranked up some tunes and Elyse and Andrew danced beneath the light of the moon and stars.  It was one of those moments you could just get lost in, and they did.
The next day, more friends and family gathered at Elyse's cousins' house for a pig roast and second day reception, complete with a flowergirl in a pig costume.  It was an exquisite extension of the party, not because it was the biggest party ever seen but because it was filled with the genuine love of each and every attendee.

In fact Elyse's mom said to me, "This wedding wasn't small, if we had fit any more love in here the place would burst."  Truer words have rarely been spoken, so bursting at the seams the party went on.
Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Najjar, I cannot wait to hear about your adventures from here on out, thank you for letting me be a part of them so far.  Have fun in Ecuador, I am excited for the pictures!
