Steve’s job in life right now is the official taxi service for this Richardson/Austad wedding. Yesterday he spent about 7 hours shuttling people from the Portland train station and airport down to McMinville.  He was at it bright and early again this morning. All he says he needs is a spreadsheet to follow and he’s a happy camper.

We decided this man needed a little recognition. Hence the “Richardson Transport Service” pin. Oh, the orange noise maker is to help herd those individuals that can’t stop talking and get into the van.

A busy day for the wedding party! Everyone headed over to the park where the wedding takes place tomorrow to get things spruced up for the event. Here’s Angela, the point person behind this production. Oh! And this is Jack, the latest addition, or “edition”, to the Richardson clan.

And this is: “The Book”. I’ve been seeing this just about every step of the way since arrival. It doesn’t seem to get too far from Julie or Angela. Sorry for the blurry pic! (Julie humored me with a pose.)

I personally think Taylor and Collin get the award for the most disgusting part of the clean up detail. I didn’t catch the picture of Taylor mopping the ceiling in one of the outhouses. Hmmm Don’t ask what was up there, but here’s Collin plugging away.

Everyone was great and pitched right in. Erin was on bleach mopping detail also.

Katie doing her part.

Yesterday Taylor had a bit of a monkey wrench thrown into the wedding event count down. Their car went on the blink. Luckily the place fixing it gave the happy couple a loaner. A big thanks to Jim Doran!

The happy bride-to-be and mother-of-the-bride!

Group discussion on where the wedding party will stand and folding chairs should be set up at the park.

It’s been fun catching up with Peter and Erin. A very fun couple!

Also fun watching good friends catch up! Teresa Harris, Katie, Sara Wilcox, and Nick Sorum.
