This weekend was Madison and Andrew's wedding. We had a lot of fun getting everything set up and ready! My sister and I were talking about the hundreds of times we have set up the Coffman Building at the fair grounds and it has never been quite as pretty before! :)
We had a ton of help with both setting up and cleaning up. I am very thankful to my family for all their work! I am sure we could not have done it without them!
The absolute only detail that Andrew requested was a beer canoe. I told him I didn't want to buy a canoe for a wedding, but that I would make him a beer boat instead! He was good with it - because after all the boat holds way more beer than the canoe anyway! :) Colin was kind enough to let us borrow his boat. He even power washed the dirt out first!
I enjoyed getting all my girls ready for the wedding. It was nice to have a little time together before things went crazy!
Jim loaned Madison the necklace his grandpa made. Something old and something borrowed.
My girls were pretty little flower girl/baby wagon pullers! Harper's dress did not survive the evening, so I am glad I got some pictures early on! :)
I absolutely adore my "new" son and grandkid. Life is good about giving us the stuff we need. Even if we didn't know we needed it!
I thought Cameron did a very nice job as the minister. He always takes his tasks very seriously!
I got a kick out of them deciding to take the wedding party photos at the lake and loading everyone in the back of the truck, like the true rednecks that they are. :)
Madison decided to scrap the traditional wedding cake idea, and went with a cookie bar instead. Her mother in law did make some cupcakes, but other than that Madison made all the cookies and set this up herself. I loved it! Truly a labor of love for her!
Madison and Andrew scrapped a lot of the traditional wedding stuff. No flower throwing, no cake smashing but I think it was an amazingly fun evening! I am so proud of them and of all that they are working towards.
They did not skip the first dance - and I am really glad. I love the smiles!
Stolen from my sister in law's facebook page (thanks Pam!) I wonder if it is even possible to get a photo where all of us look "normal"?
I might have stolen a couple of these other photos too.
I had a great time planning this wedding, and I am very happy that everything worked out well. I can't wait to do it all again....7 more times! I hope I get a little break first though!
