Something special along Lake Superior

Lyndsay's and Bud's wedding was held at the Lutsen Resort along Lake Superior. It was incredibly beautiful! After a couple of drinks to unwind from the long drive from the airport, followed by a nap in the car, I woke up just in time to meet up with the girls who were headed down to the lake. There was a bonfire on the shore of the lake and I had the chance to meet Lyndsay's friends and family. Everyone was so nice and so much fun to be around.

I was fortunate enough to be able to stay at the last minute with 3 super awesome women! Jack, (who was the only one there I already knew), Mel, and Karen. Lyndsay stayed overnight in the room with us and we had a little jacuzzi party, drank margaritas, and had some good quality girl talk. It had been years since I had seen Jack and about 2 since I had seen Lyndsay. Some of my most memorable single days include my adventures with Lyndsay and Jack. It felt so great to be there with them.

The day of the wedding I didn't know what to expect. I thought I would end up being in the way, but instead I was fortunate enough to be able to help out a bit. Curling hair may not seem that exciting, and it may seem silly, but I was as happy as a pig in poop to be curling my friend's hair on her wedding day.

The wedding itself was very simple and very special which reflects Lyndsay all the way. I was so incredibly fortunate to be present. Lyndsay is just an awesome person, and there's no other way I could ever make anyone who doesn't already know her see that about her, aside from just stating it. I don't know Bud except from what I've heard about him from Lyndsay, but I have to believe that he's a very good man in order for him to have Lyndsay as his wife. I'm so very happy for them both, and I wish them all the very best that marriage has to offer.

And to my friend and partner in life: Darius, there's no way I can adequately express how extremely grateful I am to you for graciously handling up on the boys and giving me the opportunity to be there at my friend's wedding. I have some very special memories now that I'll have with me forever, and you're at the root of them. I love you, thank you!
