When: Saturday, January 10, 2009
Where: Fargo Radisson
1st Dance Song: "Bless the Broken Road" by Rascal Flatts

Mother/Son Dance: "My Wish" by Rascal Flatts
Wedding Party song: "Amazed" by Lonestar

I'm posting this a bit later than usual, in part because I slept for what feels like 15 minutes after getting back from this wedding, but also today we moved a whole mess of furniture in our home. That before heading out for family pictures with photographer Shawna Noel (oh, boy was I ever tired by that time).
I hadn't met or even talked with Josh prior to the day because they live in Georgia. It doesn't take long to learn a lot about someone at a wedding. Tera's dad started us off with a welcoming toast before dinner ("I've taken Josh hunting twice and he's still here so you know I think he's a keeper."). During the meal we learn of Josh and best man Casey's passion for green beans (left) and his favorite color is camouflage and favorite holiday is deer hunting opener (is that a holiday now?)

Tera sent me enough pictures for a video clocking in under 5 minutes. No music preferences from her so I picked 3 ("Ain't No Mountain High Enough"; "Days Like This"; "Eight Days Week"). Unfortunately there was an issue so I couldn't use the DVD quality version of the video and had to use the (lower quality) backup though no one seemed to notice.

Rather than have all four of the songs listed above string out the beginning of our dance, I shortened both Butterfly Kisses and My Wish so that guests were joining after a total of 8 minutes - had the songs been left in their original length it would have been about 17 minutes.
