We just got back from Luke's cousin's John's wedding. The couple live in Madison, WI, but the wedding was held in Northfield, MN, where most of Luke's (and John's) MN family live. We had a wonderful time staying with Luke's grandparents. The cermony was held in the Carleton chapel and the pig roast/reception in a nearby park. Having been to several weddings now, I'm really glad Luke and I decided to take the do-it-yourself approach rather than going with a specific format. Especially because neither of us are religious I liked having a very personal ceremony. The religious standard just doesn't hold a lot of meaning for me (not that it doesn't for other people, just not my thing).
Luke and Jack had the honor of carving the 200 lb roasted pig for the reception. I met a number of Johnson friends and family, and helped the bride by sewing a bustle into the back of her wedding gown (the seamstress forgot to add one).
Cannon Falls, where Luke's grandparents live, was beautiful. Although it ws warm and humid, it didn't ever seem to get too bad. We took a lot of walks and went on a 2 hour cannoe trip our last day there. going down the river was a blast and has made we want to try kayaking here.
