Wedding Weekend

The wedding weekend is over and we all survived! Rachel and Kevin were happily married, the weather was perfect, the park looked lovely, and we had lots of time with family. 

Baby Sarah was a trooper!
Friday after the rehearsal and dinner we had an after party. Laying in bed that night, Bryan and I tallied 39 people who had been over. That includes 7 overnight guests in the house and an RV out back. Suffice to say, it was busy! We very much enjoyed getting time to visit.
Saturday we had lots of work to do to set up, feed the masses, and the bridal party got ready at our place. The kids were all flower girls and ring bearers. They posed for lots of pictures looking dapper!
Our two
Here come the Cotters! It was a pretty ceremony and the reception involved good food and dancing into the night. Afterward, we had a "fight party" at our place to watch a much-hyped boxing match. Another two dozen + folks crowded into the living room - it was quite an experience!
When a wedding gives you lemons, these Johnson-Pakulski women make lemonade (without the help of a juicer!)! We enjoyed the Sunday crew's help picking up the park, as well as some swimming, a BBQ lunch and some kayak and lake time.
Grandma Dianne is always a helper! Bryan's sweet aunts re-made the guest beds for us because they wanted to be busy. Wonderful ladies! 
We loved the chance to see family and are eager for another boda in October in Arizona!
