Another weekend, another wedding, at least that is how it feels at this house! This time we got to travel to beautiful Madison, WI for my cousin Ben's wedding. It was great in many ways. First, we got to see family that we haven't seen in way too long; second, I got to see Madison again after even longer; and last, as with any wedding, we had plenty of cake, dancing, and booze.
Since most of the weddings I attended in my childhood were in Wisconsin, I feel like a Wisconsin wedding is the "original". There were many classic elements at Ben and Dawn's wedding, from the traditional church ceremony, to the 50's and 60's rock songs, and even cameras on the tables for guests to capture the behind-the-scenes moments. I got to see all my relatives cutting a rug, and enjoyed catching up in between dances.
Some of my favorite details included a touch of Colorado! The guest book was purchased in Crested Butte, where we just traveled in October, and the card box was covered with a collage of photos from the region (my cousins have family there from the my aunt's side). Here are some pictures of additional details:

Erica! You and your family look great : ) Wish we could have been in Madison at the same time... would have been wonderful to see you again. I cannot look at the house at the top of Timber Land Circle without thinking of you. I believe my Dad STILL has the picture your Dad gave to us that he took of me during one of our many play dates hanging up in his office. Best of luck with everything, and please pass along a warm hello to your family from my own. Xx Lisa.
