Before the party, Tim and I worked a lot around the house on all of our projects. I spread a record 55 bags of mulch, Tim worked hard on our bannister, the outside of our house, the upstairs kids bath and much much more! An added bonus, we also had a painter come in and paint our stairwell and ceiling. There is only one 1/2 bath in our entire house that hasn’t been painted in the last 3 years, ever other wall has been repainted.
Then the party prep – Stephanie and I were very busy the Saturday before the party getting things ready. We made about 100 fruit kabobs. Andrew blew up nearly 25 balloons, Stephanie put up lots of decorations and made a collage of her and Ryan’s wedding party. I made 48 cupcakes, and a 3 layered “wedding” cake.
Sunday we had most of everything done, but there was still a bit to do with making sure the rest of the food was ready and finalizing decorations. We had a good turn out. We had planned on people using both the inside of the house along with the back deck, but since it rained that day, people were all stuck inside and crammed in. It was ok in the end! Tim made a short but simple speech about his “Pooky” growing up and getting married, then he had the happy couple cut their cake. They had fun. Steph wanted pictures with her entire bridal party, and she was lucky, 6 out of 7 bridesmaids made it to the party. Check out a few photos!

Overall, we had a good time, but we were glad when it was over and we got to finally relax!
