#3 Mr. and Mrs. Battjes

#3
There is now a new Mr. and Mrs. Battjes. I partook in Dan and Mags wedding and funfilled weekend. It started with us boys getting tuxes and grabbing a lunch followed by a rehearsal at the church where I was threatened by the two youngsters who sat in front of us; they told me they could tackle their dad and so they could tackle me too. They also pointed out that out of the 5 guys there I was #1 on their death list. I did manage to survive it though and headed off to the rehearsal dinner put on by dan's parents at the rooster tail. We ate well, drank plenty, watched a video of pictures showing the coming up of young dan and maggie to the point we are at now. Mags sister Mollie (sp) put that on; great choice of songs by the way. We ended that night with a bonfire sort of circle telling stories about the two main attractions of the night (D&M). The following day was the wedding which was beautiful. Like any other day I had a tux on with a little gel in the hair; no big deal. After the 40 minute wedding we spent the next 3 hours taking pictures outside the church (maybe a little exageration). Then the wedding party headed away in a trolley with a cooler filled of champagne and beer. (The trolley driver or bus driver's name was Otto for all you simpson fans) The reception put on by the Katchmark's was at the DYC and just great. Scenery, food, and the music which was a full band that played mostly motown. There was plenty of dancing; I personally felt like I had jumped in a pool of sweat, no seriously drenched. When it all faded off and everyone had their late night coney dogs some of us headed to a bar to close off the night. Following morning was a brunch at the K's. I decided to walk to their house since I didn't feel it would be safe to drive and on arriving at the house spent a good portion of my time there in the lazy boy with the feet up. It was a fantastic weekend which I will always remember and if not I'll have this blog to help me.
