Ryan Gets Hitched!

As you may remember, back in April, I went to visit Ellen, my sister-in-law-to-be. I'm happy to report that Ellen is now my sister-in-law! Ellen and Ryan got married in Minneapolis on December 27. It was a beautiful wedding and we were so happy to be a part of such a special weekend.


Proud parents, waiting for the ceremony to begin (doesn't the last hour before the wedding seem to take forever??).


Finally, it's time! The very handsome Marty boys waiting for their beautiful bridesmaids (and bride!).



Isn't black such an elegant choice for a winter wedding? All the girls looked beautiful!



Saying their "I Dos"



The Kiss!


A great looking group!




Finally Mr. & Mrs.!



The "80's Babies"
Travis, Jocelyn and Branden were all born in 1980 (they're cousins).



Sorry, had to show these off, since they're the work of Soiree Papier (ie, Branden and I)! You can't really see them in the photo, but each place card and menu was embellished with a tiny crystal to coordinate with Ellen's "winter sparkle" motif.



I love this picture! They're both laughing and the expression is pure joy.



Aren't they cute?! By the way, ladies, Colin is still available...



Grandpa's rule: each new Marty wife must give Grandpa the pleasure of at least one dance at her wedding!



The Rowe clan dancing to "Roll Out the Barrel". If you're new to Wisconsin, like I was, every Wisconsin wedding has at least one polka dance. "Roll Out the Barrel" is a favorite!



Proud Mommas!



What a fun night! Taking a load off with Kayla and her beau, David.



Yea, the happy couple! Congrats!


Sunday gift opening with the Martys and Victors. It was fun to enjoy an intimate brunch with the families and discuss our favorite moments from the big night.



One last shot before heading to the airport...on to part two!
