A Hootenanny of a Good Time!

We woke up Saturday and Carter was ready for fun! So he and mom took a drive around Lyons and then came back to meet dad for lunch.

Then it was time to get dressed up for the festivities. The invitation said shoes and teeth optional so Carter donned his Western gear, threw on a few teeth, left the shoes at home and classed up the ensemble with a tie.

Here is a close up.

The tie was almost as long as Carter.

The whole family.

Soon the wedding began. It started with the running of the children, literally, to the William Tell Overture.

Then the team precession began, complete with traditional high-fives and butt slaps.

The ceremony was very touching.

After the wedding, everyone headed to the reception tent to partake in the 15 different varieties of home brew, all supplied by the bride and groom.

Carter and dad had fun hanging out.

Soon the first band began. Kevin surprised his bride by hiring one of her favorite bluegrass bands, Chatham County Line to perform. They were excellent!

After the first band, the Sigma Chi's showed off their singing skills with the traditional Sweetheart song.

Then everyone enjoyed a good BBQ dinner and homemade whoopie pies and rice krispie wedding cake.

Then the second band started (yes this was an all day a fare). Mom and dad took a walk around the pond to give Carter some entertainment. It was a beautiful location with the mountains in the background.

All smiles while listening to Bluegrass and discussing how nice it would be to live in Colorado!

Megan's homemade dress was complete with glow sticks that when turned on, really got the party started.

Carter was pooped from all the fun so mom took him off to bed.

While the fun continued all night long.

Congrats Kevin/Megan! It was an amazing wedding and we're so thrilled for both of you!
