It's good to be a Zarcone.

We waited a long time for the party of the year and then, when it was finally upon us, we savored every moment and tried not to miss anything. It was over too soon, but other than that, it was perfect. Karli and Zack's wedding in Seattle was, truly, a perfect day. Every moment of the weekend was bursting with excitement and celebration. There was joy and love and thankfulness abounding in every event, every meal, and everyone present. These two families know how to party. They are full of life and hospitality and generosity; they love to eat good food and drink good margaritas. In short, they do life well.

Karli and Zack come from good roots, to be sure. They have amazing families with strong values and lots of love, encouragement, and support which is reflected so evidently in their own marriage. It's been such a joy as their friend to watch them as they begin planting roots of their own together. Their marriage is beginning with deep and secure roots. They are grounded in faith, thankful to and in awe of the Lord who brought them together and continues to bless and strengthen their relationship. They are rooted in friendship. These two laugh and play together like no other couple I know, which is so fun to watch. Their marriage is rooted, as well, in love and respect for one another that continues to grow and grow, bringing them closer together and stronger as one.

I'm so thankful for these two, so thankful they will remain on the west coast, and unbelievably excited to watch their marriage continue to grow and blossom in strength and love, and in faith.
