Wedding Summary

Hi everyone!! I know I've been gone a while, but it's been busy. Pre-wedding was full of getting ready for the wedding and post-wedding stuff has been wrapping up everything from the wedding. The wedding had some problems, but which weddings don't? I've never known anyone to have an absolute smooth and perfect wedding. But at least mine was short and sweet and the food was fantabulous (Ruth's Chris always has lovely food).

Most everyone arrived on Friday night and we went out to eat. Saturday was rehearsal, lunch, laser tag, rest, then dinner. Sunday was the actual wedding, which, as everyone says, the day moved quickly. The lovely people who attended and you may know were Jenn Reese, Emily Mah, Jae Brim and Deanna Hoak. (So they may write up wrap-up entries or mention it if they wish).

And this week, I'll be out of town. I will try to write up wrap-up reports, but it'll have to wait to be posted until I get back. I should have photos then. But I will say this, my bridesmaids and my man-of-honor took care of any emergency that arose. They are completely awesome!

Congratulations! I'm told that any wedding celebration which involves Laser Tag is blessed forever :-)

Thanks, Jim! Laser tag rules!

Congratulations!

I love that you had laser tag as an activity!

We got married late in the day on Saturday (it started at 6 p.m.), in little Grand Forks, North Dakota. During the day, we were able to arrange a private "atmospherium" show at the university -- like a planetarium but not a full over-the-head screen, and it also used at-time-time state-of-the-art laser graphics. I think people enjoyed the non-traditional activity at our wedding, and I'm sure they did at yours too!

The atmospherium sounds like a lot of fun. I think most people don't like traditional weddings. They like to have fun!

Congratulations! I'm glad it went well and it sounds like you had fun. Have fun on the trip!

I did! And I wish I had more photos. It would have been good to get a photo of everyone in their laser tag gear! Doh!

The wedding weekend was amazing. You guys were such thoughtful hosts, even though it was your wedding! I loved the laser tag, and I loved meeting all those awesome people, but I think I loved watching you walk down the aisle most of all. (Well, almost as much as listening to details about Warhammer Online, that is.) :-D

I loved that you were part of the celebration! You made it easy and fun and non-stressful for me. (And you listened to all that Warhammer so I didn't have to!)
