It turned out to be the perfect weekend to have Logan stay with Eiselt's because we had a wedding on Saturday evening. So, after a great day running errands all together and working on some projects, we headed out to rural Eau Claire for this beautiful farm wedding.
This was a special wedding because it was one of our good friends, and former Young Lifer, Molly. She was in my campaigner group (small group bible study) when we first moved to Eau Claire. Wow - that makes me feel old! Molly is young, but she has always been wise beyond her years and its no surprise that Molly is getting married to such a wonderful man, Blake. They met while attending the U of Hawaii last year and will begin their life together in China, doing mission work - exactly what Molly has always wanted to do. We had such a great time at the wedding, seeing so many YL friends and other friends from around Eau Claire. The best part of the wedding was learning more about this couple, who are truly so focused on living for and serving Christ. What a blessing!

The amazing view from the ceremony site.
This was the biggest wedding party I've ever seen - 11 attendants each! Most of the girls were in our campaigner group while they were in high school (they are now going to be juniors in college).
We had to take advantage of the view and get a photo together.
Poor Bennett wasn't very happy with a smelly diaper after the ceremony, but we had to include him in one quick photo.
Beautiful couple (with matching hair!)

The newlyweds
Bennett was so good! We couldn't believe it! After doing the rounds with him, seeing so many friends, he sat in his seat while we ate dinner and just smiled away.
The huge tent was lit with lanterns once it got dark - so pretty!
Bennett fell alseep after he and I went in to the house for a bit to change into pjs and have a snack. All bundled up for the cool August night. John and I even got to dance while friends watched over our sleeping baby. What fun!
Congrats to Molly and Blake on the start of their life together!
