Minneapolis has gone three for three this year with beautiful weddings. It started with Sunny and Darren and wrapped up perfectly with Jenna and Adam. The weather was giving everyone pause for concern leading up to the big day, but once again, it magically cleared and we experienced a lovely fall evening.
The service brought tears to everyone’s eyes with its substance, splendor and significance. The bride and groom were quite stunning too…..
From there, there we took an old fashion trolley downtown for the reception. After some of the best toasts I’ve ever heard (and a unique way to make the newlyweds kiss), the place turned into a nightclub dance party that would make even Vegas envious. The floor stayed packed all evening. Ray and Cecky were even getting down…..and they won the recognition for the longest married couple at 65 years! It’s our hope that Adam and Jenna win that award at their grand-kids weddings!
I did mention we danced the night away, didn’t I? Yes, it got a little crazy….which is why you will only see one wedding picture here. Once we all got home, there was an incident with Amy, Sarah, a cinnamon roll and two cups of water. Let’s just say we all ended up on the floor laughing uncontrollably…..and I was the only one that went down due to the laughter! Rock on Maiser girls....rock on!
On Sunday, we were treated to awesome tickets for the Vikings / Dolphins game, courtesy of Gene and Carol. Megan had gotten these tickets for me, knowing that the Fins have been my favorite team since I was three. Since becoming part of the family, I’ve been “expected” to cheer for any team from Minnesota, as they are all die hard fans. I was even told that I could only go to the game if I promised to root for the Vikings. Whenever the Dolphins had the ball I would joyfully shout, “Let’s go D!” and then in a quiet voice whisper to Megan, “oplhins.” Although it came down to the wire, we didn’t get to see the “Favre magic” from the last year, and the Fins go to 2-0 on the season. Great game all around!
It’s getting close now……only three days until we leave for Rome. There are still a lot of last minute items to check off the list, so we’ll probably be a little hectic over the next 72 hours. If we don’t get to tell everyone “bye,” please know that we love you and will miss you all.
We feel so blessed to have the opportunity to do an adventure like this and hope that you will follow along as we take the years of dreaming and months of planning, and finally make them all a reality.
Ciao everyone!
