Montana Weddin'

Peter and I made a WHIRLWIND 36 hour trip to Montana last weekend for Ken & Liesl's wedding! After some serious difficulty at the airport, being told that we would miss our connecting flight due to runway work, and that they would be able to get us to our destination by 5pm the next day (the wedding was set for 10am) I was QUITE frazzled. However, Liesl worked her magic and we ended up in Helena about 2am Saturday morning! Just in time to grab a few zzz's and try to look purty for the weddin'!
The wedding was at a bed and breakfast in Helena... Neither Peter or myself had stayed at a B&B prior to this trip, but I must say, it was quite nice! Here's our room:
I discovered that I LOVE robes!
Another angle of the room.
FLOWERS! Liesl had the most gorgeous bouquets all over the house!!
Sooooo pretty!
B&B from the outside - The Carolina.
Usn's. We were having a hard time hiding the fact that we got about 4.5 hours of sleep...
:-)
Mrs. Beautiful
Mr. Snazzy
Liesl and her nephew, Emerick. He has the most CHARMING smile & BIG blue eyes!
Ben & Anna - Liesl's cousin and his wife. You might remember them from this post?
Goin' to the chapel and we're.... gonna get marrrrrried... :-)
Liesl's niece Hannah, Emerick's sister.
Another one of the charmer!
Delicious buffet brunch prepared by the B&B Hostess - SOOO good!
This one is my favorite!
Mother/Daughter :)
Toes!
Mom and her girls! - (L-R) Lindi, Liesl, Dixie & Susi
Cute! Liesl with her friend's daughter
Robert - another cutie there!
The Bride's bouquet
Boys! :-)
I loved seeing the sprawling blue skies there... something we don't see so much here with all the high-rises in the way!
After the wedding, K&L hosted a Halloween party at the B&B.
Liesl's niece, Hannah, as a fairy.
Ben the SCARE-crow. He was QUITE believable and scared many an unsuspecting visitor!
Peter and I made a last-minute run to Goodwill... we came up with golfer outfits & got the clubs for a dollar a piece! :)
Liesl's friends Chris & Dana. (Parents of Robert & the cute blonde little girl 8 photos above this one)
The Bride and Groom... they say you gain weight after marriage! :-) Their costumes were perfect!
Us, again. :) I love Peter's hat! Can't wait to wear it this winter!
Anna, the sweet witch!
Sunday morning we had an early, early morning meeting (8:30am) & then Ben & Anna took off for their LONG (12+) hour drive back up to Canada. They're with Liesl's gramma in this picture - a sweet, sweet lady.
Lizzy was there too!! She flew with Liesl all the way from DC!
Helena, Montana - the State Capitol.
We had a great time, and I'm SO glad that we were able to go! We arrived home around 12:30 a.m. on Monday morning - just in time to catch a few zzz's before heading off to work. (Hmm, that sounds a lot like the way this post started!)
