Aimee & Nate's wedding weekend in Wisconsin

This post has been a long time coming. My beautiful cousin Aimee and her fiance, Nate were married in Wisconsin on April 2. Since we already know that I took a loooooong break from blogging, that sort of explains why this is so delayed. Also, we took a ton of pictures and it's hard to choose only a few! So I chose a bunch, and started to work on a slideshow as I usually do when I have a ton of pics. Only, I couldn't get my slideshow to cooperate so I decided to try some photo collages (click on collage to enlarge). Enough about that...
The entire weekend was perfect. We drove up (split the drive into 2 days) and Connell and Emma were great travelers. We stayed in a hotel suite and they shared a room for the first time. They really like that! We first stopped in Milwaukee to visit my Grandma and spent the night at my aunt and uncle's house.

On Friday, we drove to the resort where we would be staying for the weekend. It is a beautiful resort on Lake Michigan and has a HUGE indoor waterpark. Our kids were cRaZy excited as this was their first time to visit a waterpark.

This is Emma with my cousin Mark (who I haven't seen since the 80s!) We had such a fun time catching up with family and cousins that we haven't seen in far too long.
I wish I had some good pictures of Connell and Chandler "rehearsing", but I don't. They were a little "skiddish" about the whole thing and I didn't want to push my luck taking photos! ;) Here they are getting "briefed" my Tim and Chris. In the end, they both did their walk down the aisle perfectly during the wedding. They are without a doubt the two cutest ring bearers I have ever seen!

Their wedding took place at the prettiest little country church. It was cozy and Tim and I agreed, one of the sweetest and most beautiful weddings we have attended.

Mr. and Mrs. Charlton!!!

This is the best I could get...they weren't feeling cooperative!

The reception took place at the resort. Our kids had the BEST time! Emma finally passed
out at 1030!

Here are some pics from our time at the waterpark! We played Saturday morning since the wedding was in the afternoon. Connell and Emma still talk about the wedding, resort, and waterpark, and it's been months! What a wonderful weekend! We pray that Aimee and Nate are blessed with many many years of happiness and thank you for sharing your wedding weekend with us!
