Slappy Votes

Her first time, in the mid-term primary elections.

Slappy Has A Graduation Dinner

Card made by Sam.

Maddie did not want a big party, but she did agree to a dinner out with the MEME gang at her favorite restaurant, Diachon.

She got to order whatever she wanted, so three desserts (post dinner) it is!  Plus, she knew more about authentic Japanese desserts from her recent trip, which added to the ordering excitement.

Her brother's tribute.  We're all quite proud of her.

Slappy Graduates High School

Proud Taisie.

An idealic and very Americana setting.

Seth and Elizabeth came out to support.

Our girl, guns a-blazing.

 

Walking to get that diploma.

Maddie and her crew.

 

Maddie forgot to mention to her parents that they did not give out the actual diplomas at the ceremony. 

The MEME gang = tears for Jess.

A grad and her fam.

 

Unbridled joy over the end of high school equally matched by great, deep friendship.

The Scrapper Decorates Senior Boxes

To hold mementos in.  Jess is just happy he was out at Ava's house, even if the box never sees a single memento.

Slappy Preps For High School Graduation

 

Her grad tickets have arrived.

As has her grad cap, now decorated in "Graduation Unrivaled" glory.

The perfect graduation card from Kears and Todd for a girl who is done, done, done with high school.  "Wishing you strength in these difficult days and hoping that, with time, peace will heal and comfort your heart."

Madd Max Enjoys A Little More Saugatuck

@miserable_men

Meanwhile, Jess and Aarin were shopping for Christmas ornaments.

A last pizza lunch with the crew at The Mitten Brewing, a pizza joint and brewery that a friend of Jess' cousin, Kristin, owns.

Madd Max Go To Adam and Brian's Wedding

Arrival on the beautiful grounds of the Innisfree Estate.

 

It was, "a little bit disco, kinda tiki, real barn wedding extravaganza!!"

When 2 production designers wed, it looks like this.

Also this.

Enjoying some cocktail hour.

Instead of a wedding book everyone signed, there was Aunt Lori Live! where the guests gave the happy couple advice on the red carpet.

Weddings remind Jess how happy she is that she married this guy.

The handsome grooms at their ceremony.

Where fans were handed out with the grooms' initials for a "how-well-do-you-know-the-grooms" game for all wedding goers.

Delicious dinner.

 

The first dance.  Congratulations, you two!!
