Wedding Preparations

Much preparation had to be done to be ready for the wedding. It was a pleasure for our family to be able to help in this way!

:: Wedding Preparations ::

These first 2 photos show Zach K. and Mark cleaning algae off the pond! This became an awesome task, as more kept floating in.

Here Tiffany and Kara are decorating the wedding cakes. They used fake cakes; so they were able to decorate a week ahead of time!! Kara did the basket weave and Tiff did the roping around the edges; great teamwork!!!!

200+ straw bales were brought in for seating and decorating! This gave the boys a workout ;-)

The day before the wedding, more algae floated in; so the boys informed Phil (the groom), "if you want it out this time, you can help!" He willing did, and I think they considered it play rather than work!

:: Rehearsal ::

Here is Dad talking to the photographer who was from Leavenworth, KS. They came the day before so that they could be at the rehearsal. They did an amazing job, and Phil and Tiff ended up with 2,500 photos to choose from!!!

We covered the bales for seating. This was a big job as well, but many hands make easy (easier) work!!

It was a bit chilly toward the end of the rehearsal, and we were all ready for the hot pizza
