I'm just going to start at the beginning: "The Haverlys" officially began on the 15th of August. We were married at the Cathedral of Saint John the Evangelist in Spokane, which was a perfect and beautiful place! The dean of the Cathedral, Bill Ellis, was the priest at my church in Bend for 15 years, so has known me practically my entire life! He was one of the (many) reasons we chose to be married in Spokane.
After the ceremony we traveled in a 1911 Rolls Royce to the Davenport Hotel, which turned out to be the PERFECT location of our reception. After the cocktail hour in the Hall of the Doges, where lemon drop and chocolate espresso martinis (yellow and brown were the wedding colors), our guests were introduced to the Grand Pennington Ballroom. We like to think our 247 guests had a wonderful time. We chose sunflowers to decorate the day, and I'm sure those cheery flowers (and perhaps the open bar) helped put people in the dancing mood!
It wasn't until after we cut the five tiered chocolate raspberry alternating with lemon chiffon cake, everyone cut loose! Our DJ swore his goal was to get everyone onto the dance floor, and I think he did! At one point our conga line actually connected with the other wedding going on in the hotel that night!
At the end of the day we were exhausted and completely happy! It was truly one of the best days of our lives! Thank you so much to all of our friends and family who were able to celebrate with us!
