Tayloe Ceremony-July 29, 2011

After 7 years of being together, my brother and Joshua finally made it official in a beautiful ceremony in Provincetown, Massachusetts. Thankfully we had gotten home just days before we flew off to Massachusetts so Xander was able to go with us! He was an absolute rock star on the trip and slept on all of the flights! Unfortunately, Nate was not with us...we had arranged for him to stay with Papa and Grandma long before we had even found out that we would have Xander. Originally, Jeremy and I were going to make it a getaway trip for us but it was definitely a blessing to have our plans changed a bit. :)

We had a blast in "anything goes" Provincetown. It was a quaint and unique town and we enjoyed shopping, eating, and spending time with friends and family. We also went on the BEST whale-watching trip EVER...it was nothing short of amazing and we are thrilled to have a DVD from the trip that documents our adventure! We love Scott and Joshua so much and we were honored to be a part of their special weekend.

My toast at the wedding to the couple:

"As many of you know, my brother and I are super close. There are not many brothers who would go to their sister's baby shower, and there are not many sisters who would go to their brother's bachelor party, but that's just how we roll. With all of our inside jokes and our Tayloe quirks, we knew that we would both have to find someone special to put up with both of us. I was blessed to find Jeremy and Scott found his special someone with Joshua. When my brother commits, he commits 100%, whether be at work, in a friendship, a relationship...or with a plate of lasagna! He is the most loyal, honest, handsome, and one of the funniest guys I have ever known. Scott and Joshua compliment each other well and I am constantly amazed at Joshua's creativity, talent, style, and his ability to do EVERYTHING. My brother is one of my best friends and I have often joked with Joshua that he is the best sister-in-law ever. To Scott and Joshua: May your life be filled with love, laughter, and learning. Love one another, laugh a lot, and learn from mistakes. Please raise your glasses with me in celebrating the Tayloes! Congratulations!"
