John & Trisha's Wedding

In honor of their recent one month anniversary, I thought I'd post some of my favorite pictures from the Barntsen/Deutsch wedding festivities. Starting with....

Trisha's bachelorette party back at the end of July!

Erin and I hosted and planned a dinner and wine tasting at a Stillwater winery. It was hot, but the view overlooking the river and company was fab.

Then it was back to our place for drinks, gifts, games and an ice cream sundae bar. Gwendolyn joined us outside for some "girl time" and got quite a bit hit out of wearing everyone's bracelets. (She was entertained and just sat on people's laps for at least an hour.) 

She'd lift her arm up to get them to slide down. Such a pro.

Ice cream anyone?

Rehearsal time!

My girlfriend, Kyrkja. Remember her?! She's all grown up now and ONE. (Gwendolyn is very jealous of her hair, but who wouldn't be.)

The kids...

My adorable and handsome hubby.

WEDDING DAY!

Tom with his cousins he hadn't seen in 4+ years. So awesome that they all came!

The one and only pic of the four cousins!

Gwendolyn and Kyrkja = best friends.

Could NOT have done the weekend without my parents! They were life savers. Staying home with G so she could nap or get to bed, bringing her to pics, taking her home again then to return for the wedding, make sure her headband was on straight and dress didn't get wrinkled, running here and there, making their own meals, chasing her around at the wedding and reception and making sure she didn't eat too much candy. Or...wait. Actually, I'm pretty sure Dad was giving her candy to keep her happy *smile. They were amazing and we love them so much!!

Brothers and babies...

They danced like this together for an entire song. Gwendolyn thinks the world of big cousin, Brookie!

That's my MIL!

If all that partying wasn't enough, we enjoyed a family brunch the next morning sans the newlyweds who left on a jet plane for Maui.

Cousins!

Oh man, what a weekend and what a gorgeous, beautiful, God-honoring wedding for two lovebirds! It was fabulous and I don't think anyone would have changed a thing.

Here's to love and bliss and many, many September 1st anniversaries to come!
