FE. Tomorrow is Kazumi and Evan’s big day, and today we all are getting ready for it. We start in our wonderful VRBO above Hood River

Albert, Nancy, Marley (four legs) and Naomi are enjoying the spectacular view at Panorama Point over orchards, vineyards and Mt Hood

Misha, Marley, Albert, Rae and Naomi at Riverfront Park…most of the Nishi crowd

and here we check out tomorrow’s venue (and practice our steps)

Everybody gathers at the Ferment brew pub for the welcome dinner. I enjoy giving a “great” speech and the worried look on Kazumi’s face is priceless

and Kazumi’s good friend Alice reads Stanley’s (Kaz and Ev’s dog) speech celebrating their pending nuptials.

Kazumi and Evan sit next to Evan’s mom, Myrna, while in the background runs a slide-show (prepared by Rae) celebrating the young couple’s lives

Much fun and joy.

RN: We are impressed at how relaxed Evan and Kazumi are and how much they glow!!

and then it is time to relax and enjoy the last light from our deck.
