​STACY AND MICHAEL'S WEDDING

Picture
...Continued from yesterday:
     
The following day, Saturday, February 11, the day of Stacy and Michael's wedding, began with breakfast in the cheery hotel dining room,
Picture
...where we enjoyed doing more catching up with the relatives.
Picture
      While Tommy opted to spend some time hanging out with his cousins,     
Picture
​...Tom and I decided to do a practice drive out to the wedding venue, which was in Hastings, the next town over.
Picture
    On the way there,  as we traversed the the snowy Minnesota countryside,
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
... I kept hearing in my head the the theme from the movie "Fargo" - which actually takes place in Minnesota.
Picture
    Along the way also crossed the Mississippi River.
Picture
     When Tom and I returned to the hotel in Cottage Grove we found some of the relatives gathered   in the dining room playing cards,
Picture
...and doing nails,
Picture
...until it was time to set up for the pre-wedding luncheon,
Picture
...provided by Mary Jan and Ken, parents of the bride.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Kathy and me
Picture
Picture
    A few hours later if was time to leave for the wedding, which began at 4:30.
​     Me, ready for the wedding in my sparkly shoes.
Picture
     The wedding shuttles.     
Picture
Picture
     Tom and I, however, opted to drive to Hastings, retracing the practice route we'd taken earlier in the day.
Picture
      The venue was located at a cute place called "Pioneer Village," an area that was set up to look like an old-timey town with vintage buildings.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
      The wedding took place in the Little Log House, 
Picture
Picture
...a pretty, rustic building that the family had decorated with beautiful simplicity.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
       Taking photographs was not allowed during the wedding, but the ceremony was lovely and  and heartfelt.
​         The newly weds​         
Picture
The flower girls.
Picture
Picture
    We walked from the Little Log House to the reception hall,
Picture
...which was beautifully decked out for the occasion,
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
...as were the tables.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
      Ken and Mary Jane, parents of the bride.        
Picture
     Christie, mother of the groom,
Picture
      Jeff, father of the groom.
Picture
      While we waited for the arrival of the bride and groom we munched on yummy hors d'oeuvres,
Picture
...and socialized.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Tom and me
Picture
       When the happy newlyweds arrived we welcomed them with toasts.
Picture
       And after a prayer of thanksgiving by Tom,
Picture
...the feasting began,
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
     Dessert was a delicious variety of bundt cakes, large and small.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
     After dinner there were speeches by the father of the bride,
Picture
...the sister of the bride,
Picture
...and friend of the groom.
Picture
       Then Stacy danced with her dad,
Picture
...and Michael with his mom.
Picture
...after which we all joined in dancing,
Picture
Picture
Picture
...playing,
Picture
...and otherwise enjoying the evening, until the evening was over.
​      But for Stacy and Michael, the best was just beginning.
