Ryan and I have known Matthew for many years and in our college years we spent many nights being entertained by Matthew and his brothers. Matthew is always the life of the party wherever he goes.
At the wedding and reception there was standing room only, until the elderly people decided they couldn't hang and left. There was all the booze you could drink, coozies for everyone, four different caterers serving a variety of food, dancing until one of my toes turned black and blue, and a very entertaining photo booth with props. I'm sure Matthew and Traci will greatly appreciate seeing my mug a dozen times in the photo booth album.

My BFF, Kelli, looking all prim and proper (this must have been before the 12 beers).
Just a sample of the booze, there were six bartenders that had trouble keeping up with all the drinkers.
My niece busted with a beer, or maybe she was just holding her Aunt Jen's beer. :)
Ryan deep in conversation with one of his long time CG buddies.
A home town tradition, dancing to Big Balls in Cow Town.
These two lovely ladies enjoyed using my camera when I wasn't around. (The one on the right is Ryan's long-time girlfriend from jr. high/high school.) She is a hoot!
The beautiful bride and groom dancing the last song of the night.
We had a great time, and partied like rockstars until they kicked us all out at midnight. It was so much fun catching up with "old" friends. It was like a CGHS reunion. Now we will just have to wait until Joshua Gant "Chachi" gets married for another big bash. But for now he is the reigning most eligible bachelor of Council Grove!
