It was a BEAUTIFUL wedding.
Liz wrote her vows in the car on the way to the wedding – but if no one told me, I would never have known.
Brandon’s vows were sooo nice, but he said the tears in his eyes made the words not look like words.
NickBower did a great job as officiant.
When the service was done and it was time to recess, Brandon tried to take Liz’s arm, but she was busy wrangling her dress. When she was ready, she said, “C’mon”, and it was the cutest thing.
Benjamin and Alexander should not sit next to each other in public.
The crabcakes, stuffed mushrooms, bruschetta, meatballs, bacon wrapped water chestnuts, and the…the…other one I can’t remember were amazing appetizers. [edit Keith… risotto balls]
Liz’s dress was perfect and beautiful and sparkly.
Benjamin and Alexander left at 10am and arrived at 3:20 from Woodbury.
I left my curling iron plugged in and Benjamin and Alexander went back after the wedding to unplug. They played a game of Rack-O while they were here…just…because…why not? (Alexander needed one card between 24 and 46 and couldn’t get it. Ugh.)
Uncle Fred and Aunt Margaret were at our table and it was so good to see them. Aunt Margaret was sure I was too young to have such grown up sons – and she is probably right. Their granddaughter Maggie drove them and helped and we so appreciate her.
The flowers were amazing. A. Maz. Ing.
The salmon, pork, and mushroom ravioli were all delicious.
Donna wins for most often on the dance floor and best dancer.
I wore tall shoes all night.
The second supper sandwiches were delicious.
The breakfast buffet was delicious.
The glow cubes for the drinks were a great touch.
Benjamin and Alexander left about 8pm and got back to Woodbury/St. Paul between 12:30 and 12:50.
There was a photo booth place. Nancy and Donna and I went and we got a picture to print out. Then no more printing. We figured it was empty of film, but it would still take pictures and show them on the screen..so we posed a LOT. Other people joined in. It was great, great fun. Later in the evening, the DJ announced that the photo booth had not been working, but it was now and it was printing out everything that had been taken.
Oh.
HAHAHAHAHAHA.
We have so many pictures. They are all the best.
