Annie and Len's wedding

Now, that was quite a weekend. There is no way to describe what is like to see your daughter walk down the aisle to marry her prince! Someone asked Len Saturday what it felt like to be married. He said, "the same, only better." That was the way I felt, too. Congratulations on your marriage Annie and Len!
It was a busy weekend.
Thursday evening our family and Len's family all arrived around 5 PM. Len's dad bbq'd hamburgers, hot dogs and tri-tip roast! We had some salads and extras. Was a fun time getting to know each other. We had invited Bud and Ruth Anderson. Buddy entertained us with his humor and musical talent! After that we all got down to business and rehearsed! So Annie's first several walks down the aisle were from our bedroom to the garage door!
Friday morning was a flurry of eating, getting dressed, picking up Annie's dress, forgetting the flowers, going to Arrowwood, going back downtown Alex for the flowers, getting dressed, pictures and suddenly it was time for line up. The wedding went with "only one hitch" and that was Len and Annie's! Their vows were so nice, the music was great! Very sweet wedding!
The reception was great too! Tyler and Heath had fun pumping the root beer, the meal was tasty, the castle was a hit with the little kids and everyone had a good time!
Saturday morning Vernon and Gwen came to pick up Mom and stayed for a while. Terry, Marleen and Jerry and Anita stopped too for a while. Around 1 Len's family came and we had leftovers from grooms supper and then Annie and Len opened gifts!
Sunday after meeting Melissa and Daryl and girls joined Len and Annie, his family and Vern and I at D Michael B's for lunch. I think there were 24 of us. We had asked 3 young friends from our meeting to join us also.
We came back to our place and they guys loaded our guest bed, frame and all, into our cargo trailer. we added a card table, some folding chairs, the clothes rack from the laundry room and a lamp. Then all of Len's family went with us up to Eagle Bend convention grounds where we dropped off the trailer.
Annie and Len are going to EBI and Vern and I to EBII. Since we went to all the work to load it we are planning to camp in in the weekend afterwards at Carlos State Park!
And so, Annie and Len are married. Joel and Alayna were her on a fast trip. All my siblings and some of their children and grandchildren were here also. It was a very busy but happy weekend!
