Happily Ever After: Erin & Josh's McMenamins Grand Lodge Wedding

January 26, 2015 by Ara R. in Weddings

On a warm, dazzlingly sunny day in September, Erin & Josh gathered their closest friends and family from all over the United States.  This intimate group witnessed them as they spoke their vows on the Delia's Garden lawn at the McMenamins Grand Lodge in Forest Grove.  After cocktails on the patio, they moved upstairs to the Compass Ballroom for dinner & dancing.  I adored the small children's fantastic dance floor antics, followed by one girl fetching her pillows, blanket and book so she could nap and dance more!
