The Wedding

Well, Mike and Rachel finally got married. F and I went up on Friday afternoonish, just in time to make it to the rehearsal dinner and then a night of boozing at the local Superior watering holes. This was my first trip to the Duluth/Superior metropolitan area. It was freaking cold. It snowed and snowed, but it was beautiful. We also got he hummer limo. I'm not one for hummers in general, but this limo was fantabulous - plus, it was stocked with champagne and Pabst Blue Ribbon - a local (and personal) favorite. We drove around for an hour stopping off at random locales to take pictures (oh yeah, we had our own photographer). Cool!

The church was beautiful, but the reception was like heaven. It looked like there were about 500 people there - it was huge. F and I got a room at the Sheraton across the street for the reception - so nice. The next morning we stopped over at the Burkholder's suite to pick up the wedding dress for transport back to the Score house before we left town. I know Rachel's sad that it's over. I'm sad that it's over. I don't get to see good friends very often anymore these days and with the economy the way it is, I don't see a lot of travel in my future, so it was so, so nice just to hang out with the people that I love and miss all the time.

Maybe that will be my New Year's resolution. :)
