Drew and Kallie Mae Wedding

  4/15/17 Kallie Mae Burn’s wedding was Friday April 14^th . It has been the hot topic among the relatives for the past 6+ months. The planning, the details, the everything.
Jayden and I took a whole day to go dress shopping on a Saturday a couple weeks ago. Neither of us found anything and went home very discouraged. While in Rochester earlier in the week, we found a store with many dress options. Jayden tried on a cute little black dress. She looked amazing in the dress. When I saw her it took my breath away and I realized my baby girl is all grown up. She looked older, mature, and like someone who walked off a model runway with long blonde hair, beautiful eyes and smile, long legs, and perfect little shape. She has it going on. The dress is what I would call fancy, sexy, but classy. It wasn’t too short, or too low cut, but not modest either. I liked it and got Dad’s approval before she could officially wear it. He was pretty speechless when he saw it, looked at me, then to Jayden several times, then gave it the ok. He recommended a big shawl to go with it. Now, to keep the boys away. The shoes she went shopping and picked out all on her own. They were so fun with straps that went around and tied up the ankle. As for me, I will once again wear my teal blue dress that I have always liked. This will be the 3^rd wedding I wore it too. I wanted a cute new dress, but settled for what I know will work. Luke was all about wearing a suit and had outgrown his previous one, so he got a new gray one. Jake, I can basically pick out what he wears, he just likes to wear a vest for his look. Mark is the easy one, blue shirt and a tie, same as last wedding. I thought we all coordinated very well and I didn’t plan the colors at all.

Friday we drove down south for the big wedding. The wedding was held in a large barn turned ballroom. The wedding and reception were held in the same barn. It was amazing and the decorating beautiful. It made for a lovely place for a wedding. The weather was great, warm but not hot. The wedding was short and simple all in 30 minutes. Kallie wore a long fitted dress with tool mid calf and down. It was off white with gold bling and accents. The bridesmaids wore long yellow gowns. Libby and Abby Anderlik were among the bridesmaids. The groom, Drew Wilfawn, has a 7 year old daughter Hannah that looked like a little princess and read Corinthians chapter 13. Many relatives were there and it is always fun visiting and seeing everyone. The food for the reception was great and then it was time for the dance. I got to enjoy some baby holding with new baby Reece Alexander, who feel asleep in my arms. An hour into the reception, the beer was flowing and the dancing was getting wild. There were two guys in their late teens/early twenties that could really dance.  They were the kind of dancers that people make a circle around and just watch. They danced every song for the rest of the night with so much energy and sang every word. After awhile, Luke got to dancing with the guys showing off his moves. He became their buddy with high fives and fist bumps. They had the moves Luke was keeping up. He could really bust the moves with his feet and keeping the beat.
The girls got asked to dance several times. One of the groomsmen liked to drag the girls across the dance floor in trying to two step. Jayden, Jaynie, Maggie, and Carly stuck together and had fun. We stayed until midnight when the party ended.
On Saturday morning, we met for breakfast with the families. They ran out of food, so the boys and I headed to the indoor waterpark to enjoy the amenities before heading home.
