Thornburgs!

This weekend was a whirlwind of wedding.... We headed to Evansville Friday afternoon to pick up Mike's tux and get settled in at the Holiday Inn Express. We went through the rehearsal and then enjoyed a delicious Italian dinner downtown Evansville. To be followed by a little partying and celebrating with the groom-to-be, Brandon Thornburg! Between skeeball, basketball, racing arcade cars and buying Brandon all the cheap crap we could with our tickets, the night was a blast.

Saturday, the guys spent the day together at the church while I spent our money at the mall. :) The wedding was beautiful at a quaint church surrounded by stained glass windows. Brandon, if you remember, was the groomsman who passed out at our ceremony. We're happy to report there was no passing out at this wedding!

The reception was, of course, the best part of the weekend. It was at Mike's old stompin' grounds, Cambridge golf course in their Country Club. We were so excited to see all the FIJIs who came and the FIJI women, too! With three FIJI weddings in the next two months, it's tough for those world travelers to make it, but we loved seeing everyone who did.

After a few hours of kickin it on the dance floor, I headed to the bar for a refill. While I was there I commented to an older gentleman, probably about 65, about his dance moves. He and his wife were rockin! Turns out, she's an Alpha Chi alum from IU! No WONDER she was such a good dancer. So I made a new friend that night, too.

CONGRATULATIONS, Brandon & Kelly!

Stay tuned for a few good photos from the wedding........
