"Eat, Drink & Be Married!"

Around midnight the night before... I snuck out of our room to bring the dresses, makeup, decorations - everything we needed down to another room and us girls got busy wrapping, doing chalkboards and getting ready!

The chalkboards came out great - thanks Mare!

Wedding Day!

Aunt Marie arrived at 7am to do our hair and we were set with the champagne & oj...

I was getting the royal treatment!

Bryce's gifts

Mare and Mom - getting ready to take the gifts up to Bryce and give him some help with the girls...

Almost ready!

The most handsome ring bearer and one of our beautiful flower girls - they're ready!

Our another beautiful flower girl right before the wedding. We were running late and since I had a few last minute decorating things to do before we got married, the girls got lollipops! I wasn't thinking when I gave Brynn a blue one. She had blue teeth walking down the aisle!

The venue before the peeps came...


Here's Bryce! I think he's waiting for me!

Love how Jobie is covering his face!

I love you Mom!


Not sure why this picture is distorted on the blog - I still love it!

Mom & I

Me and the kids!

Time to get our dance on! Riley (Brynn's little friend) came all the way from AZ to spend our day with us - SO special!

Keith stepped in and gave an awesome speech for us!

Cheers!

Col & Brynn didn't miss out on the cake!

Love this picture, it says it all.... Brooklyn trying to pull my dress off and Brynn swinging around like a monkey!

Friends forever!

Sisters are the best!

Grammy with 3 of her grandkids and Mare and I

After the reception, we headed to the hospital to surprise Dad. We not only surprised him, but  we brought smiles to the entire floor he was on! I would have MUCH rather have had Dad with us at the wedding, but this was a special experience not many people get to have. and Dad was famous at the hospital for the wedding!

The hospital put together a last minute ceremony in Dad's room for us. They even borrowed flowers from another patient for us to hold! So sweet.

The ceremony was even complete with cake! I love you so much Dad! Rest and get better because we're doing it again in September... you're not getting out of wearing a tux and doing our dance that easily!!! :-)

After the hospital we headed to Aunt Marcia's for some dinner. Jobie and Miss Brynn - they are too cute!

We're married!

Nana & Papa

The Minnesota clan! It was SO great to see all of you - thanks so much for making the trip!

Me with the cutest ring bearer around!! Love you Jobie!



Celebration Dinner at Betsy & Gary's!

Saturday night we all headed to Betsy's for our Celebration Dinner before our big day... Nana & Papa surprised us with this gigantic chocolate bar from Hershey earlier in the day. I had to take a picture because soon it will be gone! :)

Betsy did such a great job with everything as usual! Everything was so festive and the food was delicious!
