It was so much fun to spend a few days with the Metcalfe Family before the wedding helping get ready for the big day! As there is for any wedding, there were so many last minute details to accomplish and everyone pitched in. Kristine, cousin Niki, Aunt Alida, and her granddaughter Riley were all up in Canada as well - the Metcalfe's had quite the household!
Paul helping Benjamin put chinking material in his log house "bedroom".
Here are Michaela, Katherine, and Meghan doing dishes and helping with food. Suzannah and Abigail were the main meal people bless their hearts - they had so many people to ccok for! They also ended up with most of the dishes.
Rachel putting the greenery on the archway.
Crystal putting the program together (Mandy is in the background). Crystal is getting married on November 29th! She and Phil got engaged while we were there. She's going to live in Manitoba - a bit closer to us.
Paul and I goofing around as we helped make "helper" gifts - chocolate covered pretzels YUM!
Paul and "the crew" washing the vehicles (dirt roads sure make them dusty).
The happy couple with the beautiful quilt Krissy made for them.
Abigail, Niki, and I "arranging" their honeymoon trailer:) Paul also decorated the outside of the trailer (with nice decorations + some cans).
Paul and I ended up getting "pranked" back as we ended up camping in the same campground as the newlyweds (granted it had 700+ sites). We came back one day from hiking and found our pranking reciprocated!
THE BIG DAY!
