Danielle and Ryan Tied the Knot

Saturday we celebrated Danielle's big day! She became Mrs. Bouwhuis. It was a gorgeous wedding and the reception was an absolute blast. I will tell the stories through the MANY pictures we took that night :) Warning: there is a lot! :)

Us girlies before the ceremony...

The start of the boys "bro-mance" :)

Danielle and her dad walking down the aisle...

The church was gorgeous...

In between the ceremony and reception we came back to my house for snacks and games...

Thought this was a cute party favor. Inside they even had a penny to scratch it :)

Waiting on Dee...

Kari started double fistin' :)

This centerpiece came in handy at the end of the night... stay tuned....

Dustin and Kari...

Our holder-outer was a little too close...

Not much better...

This is cute...

Dee made it, we were so glad to see her...

 SO glad to have the 5 of us together. It's been 3 years...

Me with the BEAUTIFUL bride...

Hubby and I...

LOVE how hard she is laughing...

So glad Grand Valley brought us together...

I spilled a glass of wine down my dress as I was trying to take a drink, so they made me drink the next one through a straw...

Jonny, Me, Dustin and Kari...

Kari was not a fan of the "birds" in Dee's hair. I LOVE them and plan on getting some "birds" myself :)

We danced... YES, even I danced :)

Enjoy the next few pics of our drinking competition :) Notice who won ;)

Our new BFF :) Danielle's sister Nicole...

Dee was really enjoying the mouthwash in the bathroom, gotta have fresh breath :)

Then we had to take a bathroom pic... Oh man, what a night...

She comes with a story ;) Long one short... She is friends with my sister-in-law. Somehow we figured that out and she thought that was so cool. Love her...

With Dee...

Remember when I told you the centerpieces came in handy... yup that's right we played "pennies."  We did not have quarters so we used the pennies that came with the lottery tickets. Cheap fun!

This was obviously late into the evening...

Dee, Melissa and Me :)

Oh stars, even later into the evening... Can you tell we has a BLAST!

Best. Night. Ever. I am so happy for Danielle and Ryan. Their wedding day was perfect and I feel so honored to have been a part of their special day. Girls, we CANNOT wait 3 more years again before all 5 of us are together. Love you  ladies...
