She also now has to clean up the mess at her house. Some rude people managed to get hold of a key (as the property manager and owner of the house, I don't have any idea how it happened) and stuffed their pantry with 170 balloons. (Yes, we counted them). They also rearranged some of the furniture, and hid a few hundred mayo packets throughout the house.
Of course, it wouldn't be proper to leave out the Peterson family chicken, and these unnamed persons very cleverly rigged up the chicken so that when the bedroom door was opened, the chicken would begin it's song-and-dance routine. Wish I would have had a video of that!
Anyway, here are a few pics of the wedding prep and other random shots. I was busy during the wedding so I didn't take any then, but will get some posted later. Complete wedding pics are now on the website here: http://www.weddingwire.com/weddings/3943431/wedding_new_website#!/website/3512910#website-page-3512910

Sylvia still refusing to go to bed.
Cousins refusing to go to sleep.
Nancy digging deep for the 16th gallon of ice cream. (Sorry I haven't figured out how to make these photos come out straight.)
Wedding orchestra.
C4, the ring-bearer.
Rosemary, the flower girl.

Rehearsal vows.
They didn't have a cake at the wedding, so Mrs. Phillips had them cut the red jello at the rehearsal dinner.
Food prep for the non-reception.
Leif sampling the food. He did this a lot.
Cousin Ethan doing the grapes.
Knut and Thor not sampling the brownies.
Cousin Sloan carrying some of the Oreos.
Unfortunately, John got dehydrated, and had to throw up after the wedding, but before photos and reception. He recovered enough to get through it all, and even did their First Dance, which was some lively swing dancing set to Piano Guys music.
Uncle Travis with his much better-looking brother, the Father of the Bride. (Me).
Cousin Camryn (right) with a good look-alike friend, Sarah. (And a random photobomber).
