Kelly and Ryan's wedding...

This weekend we once again travelled up to the Cities for a festive occasion. This time we were celebrating the nuptials of Josh's former roommate and her true love, Ryan. The wedding was held in the backyard of Kelly's parents and was simple, elegant and beautiful. It was warm but Dad, Jason and Jeremy were good sports and wore their "choke collars" and looked very handsome~appropriate escorts for Mom, Sheila and I who were fabulous. The Carters' clean up pretty nice. Who knew?
While Aunt Kimmie took charge of the wild ones back at Jeremy and Sheila's ranch, we spent the afternoon, evening and night toasting the happy couple...

(notice the look Mom is giving Dad...let's try that one again...) Ah, much better. Good job, Dad.

This one took three takes. He just doesn't make it easy.

It was a fantastic event and I was honored to be a part of it.
