Steph’s & Tony’s Wedding Weekend

Day I: It’s Wednesday and we are taking off early for PDX (Portland) due to grandmas health . Aside from the Carolyn health issues we are looking forward to the BIG Event. The wedding of Stephanie Zimmer and Tony Secretario. Also the gathering of the Zimmer clan from far and wide. And meeting and welcoming the Secretario clan.
After a leisurely drive we made it to PDX. First stop grandma’s (Carman Oaks) Anita spent the rest of the afternoon tending her mom. I headed out to check out some of the places in the area. And ended up at Steve and Liz’s. Now we are hanging in Liz’s friends house that they so graciously offerd of some of the wedding party to stay. Tomorrow we will be moving to Chez Zimmer as the brides maids will be having a little pre wedding party here. See ya all in the morning.

Day II: Sunny and bright!! As expected people are going this way and that way. With everyone on the mission of utter chaos. Or at least it looks that way from my “fly on the wall” observations. Hey it is a wedding. I checked into the Crown Plaza hotel and spent the afternoon trying to chase down a wifi signal.

Day III: Ahhhh grounded! Sitting in a Starbucks with a Giant cup of Hot Black Coffee and WIFI!! What more could a boy ask for:)
  Let the Games Begin !! Great Rehearsal dinner hosted by the Secretario family. Steph is a lucky girl marring into such a great family. Tomorrow the BIG day!

Day IV: The WEDDING!! The day started off normal. Coffee, Breakfast at the hotel, & running into the Secretario family having their morning meeting. As the day went on Anita and Mary went to visit grandma and I wandered around the hotel area. “This time they had the car”
Around 4 something it was time to suit up and head to the chapel for the ceremony. Looked like around 200 people were attending. It all went off without a hitch. Now with that said and done it was off to the Lake Oswego golf and country club for the reception. And what a reception it was.  The place ROCKED til after 11pm. And I do mean ROCKED!!

DayV: Headed home. Got up , Packed up and headed to Steve & Liz’s for a continental breakfast ,say our good buys. and help send Tony and Steph off on their future. “Starting with a round of golf in Astoria” What can I say it was PERFECT!          GOOD LUCK AND HAVE A GREAT LIFE Mr & Mrs Secretario!!!!!!
