Well, we had quite the weekend. We left around 9 am on Friday morning on our trek to Fargo for the wedding. Good thing we decided to leave at that time. It rained hard most of the way to Fargo and the temps were getting colder as we went. When we hit Fergus Falls, the rain turned to sleet, although it was only a little bit. Then it cleared up for the rest of the way to Fargo.
Once in Fargo we stopped to pick up Keaton's tux. The jacket was a little tight so they were going to order a bigger size. Good thing the rest of Jamie's family was at Knights because they realized we had the wrong color of tie/vest. But, they were able to fix it all by Saturday morning.
Friday night the rehearsal was in Hillsboro and everyone did great. Amy and Jamie showered our family with wonderful gifts that we all love (thank you, again for letting us be a part of your special day). When we left the dinner, it was starting to snow...yes people it is the end of APRIL. The 40 mile trip back to Fargo took longer than anticipated due to the snow drifts and icy roads. We were going about 40 mph for a while as we got closer to Fargo...the electronic sign at that time said that I-29 at the SD border was closed. Good grief. No, I did not pack winter jackets or clothes. *sigh*
Saturday morning the girls went to have their hair done. Kelsey ended up with 20 bobby pins in her curled hair, which turned out so cute. Kayleigh had french braids put in her hair and with all of the faces she made during that procedure I was sure she would never want to have her hair done again.
Saturday was just beautiful. We are happy to have Jamie join our family and the ceremony was beautiful. A bonus was that the kids did what they were supposed to do. Although Keaton did do something rather embarrassing once he was up in front. Umm...you just went potty you can't possibly have to go again. Yes, he said "I have to pee". Again *sigh*. But he stayed up there for most of the ceremony. Dan did a great job singing and the service was beautiful. Amy was a lovely bride and we are so happy for her.
Kelsey was in her element all day. Whenever I would go and look for her, she was either in front of the mirror posing or chatting with the bridesmaids. They did say she slept a little bit in the fun bus on the way back to Fargo. She loves to dress up and I know she will never forget this day. Thank you Amy and Jamie for letting her be there with you.
The dance was a blast. We were some of the last to leave at midnight. Keaton and Kelsey made it to the very end. Keaton refused to take off any piece of his tux and we had to bribe him when we got back to the hotel room because he wanted to sleep in it. The kids had fun and Kayleigh decided to go and stay with Connie after being there for part of the dance.
Well, I think that is enough detail for now.
