Kelsey Finally Tied the Knot

Kelsey is one of my closest girlfriends from nursing. During our four years of schooling we studied for every single test together, did every single group project together, ad ate lunch together every single day. She is the beautiful blonde who came to Ghana with me.

Erik and his brewing boyfriend Matt.

Kelsey and Josh were married this weekend in a beautiful ceremony in her parent's back yard. I naturally teared up throughout the ceremony. I couldn't help it! When fathers cry walking their daughters down the aisle I'm done for. And then when brothers are bawling their eyes out.... I jut can't help myself. Not to mention the fact that weddings are just absolutely beautiful and a constant reminder of my own wedding and the commitment Erik and I made to each other and to God.

The reception was also held in Kelsey's parent's backyard. It was an amazing setup! The backyard is basically a giant hill with various flat spots so tables were scattered throughout. It ended up looking awesome! Josh (the groom) even built a dance floor off of the house in a very hilly backyard - not an easy feat. 

I don't need to say it, but Kelsey looked stunning. The only downfall of an outdoor wedding is that it's hard to get photos when the sun goes down. Kelsey was pretty busy prior to the sunset so I didn't get many photos of her. She had the typical bridal glow -- she was breathtaking!

Between the ceremony and reception a couple of us helped out setting up the tables and benches for the reception while everyone else was invited to the front yard and the neighbours houses in the cul-de-sac to eat snacks, have some drinks, and play games at their leisure. It was an awesome set-up.

It was such a fun reception. We spent danced the night away. We spent a literal 5 hours dancing -- I think Erik may have left the dance floor for two short spurts. The photo below was from the beginning of the night... he got a whole lot sweatier. A whole lot sweatier.

Of course, at least one photo of me and the beautiful bride.

Congratulations K-Dizz. I love you!
