Taking the Plunge!

Welcome to the exciting adventures of Alicia and Tom! We're happy to have you along for the ride.

Alicia Prychun and Tom Every are getting married on September 6, in the Portland Oregon Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The ceremony will be small, with only about 30 of closest friends and family. The night before, we'll have an open-house reception at the home of some family friends in Salem, Oregon. And on September 12, we'll have a rock-out dance party blast at Golden Gardens park bath house, along the Puget Sound in Seattle. There will also be a pinata.

We really enjoyed taking our engagement photos! Alicia went to a thrift store and found an old wedding dress and a tux. You can't see it in the pictures, but they aren't in the best condition. Perfect for our photos! We then went to Greenlake in Seattle, with several of our friends and Tom's parents. We put on our swimsuits, put the wedding clothes in plastic bags, and waded out to the dock.

Once on the dock, we put on the wedding clothes over our swimsuits, did a few poses, and jumped up and down a few times for practice. We got a lot of hoots and hollers from random people swimming at the lake as well! Then we moved up closer to the edge, counted to three, and jumped! We landed in about four feet of water (Alicia was worried that the weight of the fabric would drag her down and Tom would have to rescue her). We did some jumps shooting up out of the water, and then another one off the dock. You can see the picture series here: http://picasaweb.google.com/tomevery
