My new brother-in-law

Congratulations Missy and Dave!

On Saturday Missy and Dave were married in a beautiful ceremony and a fabulous reception.

At 8:35 am (the wedding started at 3:30pm but we got there early for hair and makeup). Amanda's friend Jodi did everyone's hair and makeup. The girls were very excited to have their hair and makeup done and said they looked like "princess rockstars." Matthew would not take his sunglasses off so Missy and Dave's ringbearer looked pretty cool walking down the aisle. The church was a very quaint country church that might only hold about 100 people. With the flowers and decorations it was a beautiful, cozy ceremony. During the ceremony I cried - this time tears of joy!  Amanda, Megan and I had tissues hidden in our flowers. Dave and Missy were crying during the ceremony too. We really love Dave and are so excited he is part of the family now.

Missy looked amazing; whether it was Jodi's makeup or her inner glow she was radiant! 

The reception was so much fun. The food was unbelievable. We had roasted vegetables, pasta, scalloped potatoes, beef tips with mushrooms, and chicken. Then we danced the night away. Missy and Dave had a photo booth which the girls loved. The kids danced all night long. Matthew loved dancing so much we had to drag him away from the dance floor (literally kicking and screaming) at 10pm! I really loved the cookie buffet too. I ate two boxes worth of cookies - they were so yummy. This was a fantastic weekend and I gained a brother-in-law! Congratulations Mrs. Monhollen this is for you!
