Wedding Photos

Well, here we are on a hot summer day for the first day of fall. We had 88 deg. F at 1:00 and just hit 90. Too hot, especially for this time of year. We were thinking of going to Papa's Pumpkin Patch today, but didn't because of the heat. Plus the wasps are bound to be thick on a warm day like this. Personally, give me a day with 60-70 deg. temps and sunshine and I'm happy. This is why fall is my favorite season with spring coming in second.

With that, here come a bunch of photos from the wedding of Loren and Kelly in Waunakee, WI - two weeks ago now. I apologize in advance to anyone on dial-up.

Here are the little men and ladies from our family. What's wrong, Samantha?

Loren with his best man, Kelly (previously K1 - now K2). Some explanation is needed. Loren first knew this Kelly from way back. He then dated two other Kellys (women) before meeting his bride Kelly H. Somewhere along the line, to avoid confusion, they started to be known as K1, K2, K3, and K4. Kelly H. was K4 but is now obviously K1.

For the final round of pictures, we headed to Madison's capital building. These and all the following were taken after the wedding.

This little boy enjoyed dancing/playing with Samantha on the dance floor.

Maybe TOO much.

Good day!

Wedding reception slideshow

Well, here it is - the infamous photo slideshow Nancy and I made to show at the reception of Loren and Kelly's wedding. Although it was well received at the reception, I've done some editing since it was shown. Kind of ran out of time and had to finish it quickly before we left for Wisconsin. The editing was mostly to reduce black space and adjust start/finish times of the music a bit. The length now is 9:59. I just watched it on YouTube and I'm not sure I'm happy with the quality. There is some jerkiness that isn't on the original. That's OK, I suppose. It is what it is, right?

Loren and Kelly picked the songs to play during the show. There are three parts - photos of Kelly, photos of Loren, and then of Kelly & Loren together. Everyone should know the first artist, Cyndi Lauper. The second song is "The Best Day" by George Strait and the third song is "1,000 Miles" by Mark Schultz.

Grab a tissue!


Yes, that really is Wayne Newton.
