Yesterday we attended the beautiful wedding of Kerry and Todd. Their wedding ceremony was held outside their church in Fridley. Their reception was at the Crown Plaza's top floor reception hall in downtown St. Paul. The best men gave a speech that included giving his house key back to him, and how special he thought it was that Todd would trust him with the key. THEN, about 50% of the guests formed a line and walked up to the front to give him back their keys. The groom had no idea that those guys set it up, and it was extremely funny! It was a wonderful wedding and I was happy to be part of it!

Several of the guests lived in the same dorms as I did freshmen year of college at the University of Minnesota, including Jared. A few of them were even in the School of Journalism with me and shared classes. Small world, I guess. They had a gorgeous wedding with one of the most extravagant receptions to date.

Here are some of my favorites from their wedding day.
