Rehersal Dinner...

The Rehersal Dinner/Groom's Dinner was so fun! Annie and Troy hosted a Pizza & Root Beer Float Party for their families at the Humboldt Community Center.

Rehersal...

We were glad we got the chance to reherse! Who knew a wedding ceremony could be so confusing :)

Ingredients for a Wedding Reception..

We spent Friday setting up the Humboldt Community Center for about 250 party goers.


The centerpiece for their tables was authentic South Dakota Wheat. Annie found jars from family member and antique shops to display on each table. Our brother Josh made 100 bread boards to serve the loaves of bread at each table too. It was BEAUTIFUL!
We found a great way of dispersing the chairs....Rather than carry them to each table, why not push them across the room?!

Only 1/2 the fun...

Annie and Troy's wedding and reception was only 1/2 the fun. Much of our family arrived days ahead of time to help get everything ready for the big day. It was so fun spending so much time together. There were a lot of laughs and lots of memories made.

This is Troy, saying his prayers before marrying my sister...
Sean and Maggie spent a great deal of time pheasant hunting while we were in South Dakota.

Annie made 2 cakes for their rehersal dinner.
A running shoe and a tractor!

The rollers that became stuck in Mackenzie's hair!

Bride's Night Out!

Annie's bachelorette party was a fun night for a bunch of cousins and friends. We started the celebration at Stacie's house with gifts and lasanga then pushed onto some small town bars in Hastings, Prescott and Red Wing... Supposedly the movie, "High School Musical" is super hot right now, and a character's name happens to be Troy, so we showered Annie with "I LOVE TROY" paraphanalia!

Annie's Shower...

We had a nice shower for Annie is mid-November at Stacie's house. Hors Devours and gifts is a nice way to shower a bride to be. We enjoyed an afternoon party then broke out the real fun and games later that evening with her Bachelorette Party...
