This weekend we were blessed with amazing weather. We went to our friends Mascha and Jeroen's wedding on Waiheke Island. Waiheke is an island full of vineyards just a 30 minute ferry ride from Auckland. The weather is always a little bit better there that in Auckland, so we decided to head over early with some friends for a bit of afternoon wine and cheese at a vineyard next to where the wedding was held.
Our friend Anna volunteered to drop the cake at the wedding site, so we had to make sure that was in order too!

Here are the happy Bride and Groom during the ceremony. You can see Auckland waaaay off in the distance! They are from the Netherlands, so the wedding was in English and in Dutch. They followed Kiwi wedding traditions, so it was a learning experience for all.

Today we relaxed in the sun and went for a walk to a new Pier we discovered. It is back to work for us tomorrow, but that is easier to think about knowing that Summer is just around the corner!

How did Mascha's make-up look? I'm just happy her order made it over there in time. Looks like a great wedding location!

Charles and Jake are having fun in Pittsburgh this weekend - the big game is today at 1:00!
