So in the morning I had the bridal shower for Rachel and then in the afternoon I met up with Wayne and we headed down to St. Peter for a wedding. Adam & Kayla were married at the Arboretum at Gustavus.

It was a beautiful day. Kayla and her Dad came around the ceremony site in a horse & carriage.

Her Dad actually owns it. Super cool. Kayla's dress was gorgeous!

This picture shows the lanterns in the trees.

These are the boys (our friends).

We snapped a funny pic of us during the ceremony.

They did both lighting a candle & a sand ceremony.

It was a beautiful ceremony for a wonderful couple. I graduated high school with Adam, so I have know him for 10+ years. It has been great to re-connect and keep in contact with friends over the years and see what different directions their lives have taken them.

I snapped this picture of her bustle.

We were all excited to find out it was an open bar. Woot! Dinner was fabulous. I had prime rib, Wayne had ham. We also found out after dinner that all the meat was provided by Kayla's Father's farm. The food was delicious. Here is their cake:

This wedding included great friends, food, drinks and conversation. I love my friends!

Today was a busy day starting in the morning with a bridal shower for Rachel. 

Evan & Rachel are getting married October 16th and Evan is Wayne's cousin. They were both pictured in my State Fair post.

I didn't take many pictures at the shower, but here are a few for sharing. We started out with a light lunch, played a game and then Rachel opened her gifts while we all chatted.

This is a picture of part of the group of friends and family members that were there:

From left to right is Rachel's Mom, Evan's Step-Mom, Dianne (Wayne's Aunt), and Veronika (Dianne's daughter & Rachel's soon to be sister-in-law).

Here is a picture of Green Grandma, Aly (Dianne's other daughter & Veronika's little sister) and me:

Rachel told us all the story of how Evan proposed to her and how frustrated she was. Not frustrated with Evan himself, but his timing of the proposal. They were on their way out of Grand Forks headed to the Cities for Christmas while a blizzard was coming. She was trying to hurry them along to beat the blizzard, while he was taking his sweet time. LOL. I told her she wasn't alone as I was in the same position when Wayne proposed to me in the middle of a Thursday night waking me up from a deep slumber (I had work the next morning). Even though we both were frustrated, we both said YES!

Stay tuned for the wedding post sometime after October 16th! Thanks.
