this weekend was my brother's wedding. it was in winconsin at a lodge on lake wandewega. the ceremony was outside, and it was such a beautiful day. it was a very short very simple, but so sweet. i cried. my dad forgot his suit (i have no idea how) so he had to borrow a shirt from my brother and a tie from joe (it had purple and blue snowflakes). katie had a beautiful very unique dress, it was kind of like a slip dress with a lace apron type thing over it, it sounds really weird but she looked so beautiful. i saw some of the most interesting looking/dressed people ever. all my brothers weird musician friends were there. people brought tents and camped out and family and close friends stayed in the lodge. three of the most beautiful baby girls i have ever laid my eyes on were being passed around throughout the evening. people took row boats and conoes out on the lake for drunen boat rides in the middle of the night. there was a bonfire afterwards complete with smores and a swing that went out over the lake and loud music and LOTS of free alcohol. there was pot smoking (by young and old) and tons of wine drinking. fireworks. attempts at karaoke. and joe even threw chris a 5 minute bachelor party (after the wedding) complete with nudy magazines a bottle of scotch and a penis hat(??). chris ended up totally wasted, but still in his suit with the pant legs rolled up and flip flops on. it was amazing. definately the best family gathering i remember going to. ill post some pictures once i get them.
