Ken's Wedding I

Ken got married in Duluth, MN yesterday at the Aquarium. He is one crazy mofo and I was very glad to meet his new wife and find out that she's just as much fun as him - but way cuter.

It was incredibly fun to get to surprise a few really good friends that either had no idea that I was going to be there (like my cousins Tom and Marcie Melvig in the pic below) or just didn't really believe me.



It was awesome, just awesome to see everyone, although the number of no-shows was suprising and disappointing. But I won't dwell on that cause the rest of it was so fun!

I got to be girlywear some giant heeled shoes so that I was at least 6' tall - I'm still way shorter than Tom - everyone had cracks about me being too tall and skinny.

I've never been to a wedding where everyone was laughing throughout the ceremony. It was awesome. The actual marrying only took about 10 minutes with giggling included. Then it was down the hugging line - where I got to deliver my leis!! I was so excited, I was sweating all over the place (ha! too bad it's true..) they were very excited too.


The reception was in the aquarium too - with all the sturgeon and trout in giant aquariums all around the tables. This guy (above) played bag pipes, the concertina, harmonica, banjo, guitar, and pretty much whatever else got put in front of him. It was incredile. I had a strip steak for dinner with super good rosemary potatoes and veggies.. yum.

Here's the happy couple!


Mike was jealous that I wore heels and had to stand on tip toes for pics.. silly shit.


Kristen!!! We had so much fun the next day at breakfast, it was difficult to stop talking and get into our cars! I'm still perma grin about it!

I didn't get sore from the squeezing. It was kind of disappointing - so many people didn't show up, so there were only a few people to squeeze.
