Over a month ago (I'm a little behind) Chip and I made the trip up to Fort Wayne to attend my college roommate's sister's wedding (I went to high school with both of them...and was in Charisma...which is seriously another entire blog...) They had a few kinks in the day. Their wedding was supposed to be outside, but the weatherman called for storms. And their 2nd choice location didn't seem to pan out so they had to make a quick decision and move the wedding to the same location as the reception (The new Grand Wayne Center in downtown Fort Wayne). I went to lend a hand as much as I could. They were in the midst of calling all the guests, when I arrived to tell them the new location. Here's a few highlights....
We're Marriott rewards people so it was interesting to stay in a Hilton for a change. I think we agreed....Marriott is still our fave :)

The wedding party.
The gorgeous setup in the ballroom. Her colors were pink and green. It was so pretty!!
She did something I don't know if I've ever seen before which was to have a huge table for the entire wedding party and their guests that didn't have them all on one side. I think it's actually a pretty cool idea because then the wedding party can enjoy themselves and not feel like they're on display. You can kind of see in this picture that she also had pink flip-flops set out on each of her bridesmaids chairs with a little note that said "Kick off your heals and dance the night away!" or something like that. Such a cute idea! She thought of everything!
She had an incredible spread of candy in the colors of the wedding. Every guest had a candy bag at their place setting and they could go up and fill their bag throughout the night. Such a cute idea!!
Kona spent the weekend with Emma at the farm and I think she was exhausted! On the drive home it was as if she couldn't get close enough to us, but was just sooo tired. She nestled herself up against Chip's seat in the car and passed out. Too cute!!
