Linden & I

After the rehearsal we had a humongo party for everyone that was in the wedding but also everyone that had come from out of town for the wedding so we had about 150ish people. It was so great. One goal Linden and my brother set out in the beginning is that they didn’t want us to work. It was wonderful. This allowed us to enjoy EVERY moment of the entire weekend without having to worry about getting whatever needed to be done next.

kudos to my Mama....she came up with all of the decoration ideas, etc....she thought of EVERYthing!!

All the nieces and nephews were there. There was music. The food was amazing. There was an open bar and my mom ordered stuff in from Montana to make Huckleberry Margaritas! Even now I wish that night was three times longer. I actually danced and danced and danced with Jesse and Linden and their friends. I had decided to try to keep up with these young ‘uns and it was very very fun.

 But. I will say that at about 4am when I arose to use the ladies room for some reason my knees were killing me. It was then that I realized that maybe dancing barefoot for hours might do that when you are not a young ‘un??

At any rate, the rehearsal dinner was truly wonderful. Jesse and Linden are a classy couple and I love them both dearly. Adam loved his groomsman gift….of course baby brother being who he is, gave all of his guys a share of Berkshire Hathaway stock (Warren Buffet). The guys were all pretty stoked!

....a little stock anyone?

One final thing…remember when I said my Mom thought of everything? Well, check out the inside of the port-a-pot at the rehearsal party: wedding TP and candles!!!
