Congrats to the Newly Weds, Mr. & Mrs. Shepert!

We couragously attended Mike and Jolene's wedding this weekend.  I say 'couragously' being that the weather consisted of one major blizzard lasting a whole two days, beginning Friday and finally wrapping up sometime early Sunday morning.  The roads were pretty shady as we headed out bright and squirrely (actually, not very bright at all.  Dark, very dark.) Saturday morning, but, I had an agenda as make-up extraordinaire for the bridal party and I wasn't about to let them down.  Slowly but surely we made the trip safely and arrived right on time at Andre and Amy's lovely home (my first time seeing their new house!).  The whole morning went smoothly and the bridal party looked fabulous.  I've always enjoyed taking part in the bridal party's morning activities, of the few weddings I've been put to the task of make-up.  There's an excitement in the air with the hair, make-up and gathering of sisters, moms and best friends.  It's a great thing to be a part of.  Jolene looked exceptionally beautiful and Mike, extremely dashing.  The ceremony was touching, the dinner, tasty, and the highlight of the night summed-up in two words: Dance Party.  Naturally, we all let our hair down, cut loose and ripped-up the dance floor like we were born to shake what our mother's gave us.  Definitely one of the most fun weddings we've ever attended!  And the accomodations were nothing short of accomodating.  When one stays at Chateau Noel, upon waking to the smell of freshly brewed coffee, you can expect to be greeted with a 'Good Morning Sunshine!', sausage McMuffins and good-hearted laughter between all, reminicing about the past night's events.  Andre is the host with the most and, of course, Amy, the hostess with the most-ess.

I have to add, as you've probably noticed, the photos telling the tale of this magical weekend are missing.  Thanks to my dumbfounding forgetfulness, the only thing I managed to leave behind this weekend was, of course, the camera.  Thankfully, it should be arriving here today via none other than the happy couple themselves, Mike and Jolene!  So stay tuned friends!
