First up on the week of the wedding was picking up the guys suits!

We did that on Thursday evening.

My guys looked GOOD!!

Friday evening was the rehearsal at the venue!

Grant and Kamryn got married at the most beautiful venue called “Celebrations” in La Crosse!

It was SO amazing there in EVERY way!!

The rehearsal went smoothly and all of the “kinks” were worked out!

The anticipation for the next day was BUILDING!!!

Blake and I hosted the rehearsal dinner at The Charmant in downtown La Crosse.

It is such a beautiful place!

We had our own room – actually we had the entire downstairs area!

It was beautiful and the food was delicious!

I might be biased about the food because it was all gluten and dairy free!

We had a bride and her mother-in-law to keep safe – and The Charmant did an amazing job doing so.

SO thankful for the care they gave us!

The next morning, Addie, Eliza and I headed to the best salon in town to get our hair done!

Salon Kayla!!

I appreciate Kayla doing this for us SO much, especially when it was SO early, and she had a lot of people to get ready too!

Then us girls were off to the venue!

I was bursting with excitement!!!

Everything was BEAUTIFUL, including the WEATHER!!

We seriously could not have asked for better weather – it was UNBELIEVABLE!!!

We headed to the bridal suite where everyone was getting ready.

Such a special thing to be a part of!

Everyone looked SO special and wonderful – but our bride??

SHE WAS STUNNING.

Kamryn is the most beautiful woman, and even more so on the inside.

I LOVE HER TO PIECES!!!

Pretty soon it was time for Grant and Kamryn’s first look so we headed to the balcony to peek at them!!

I got to see my guys – and WOW!

Glad I am married to that handsome guy in the middle here!!

David and Kayla and the cutest grandchildren on the planet had arrived too.

They seriously were trying to steal the show they were so cute!!!

It was time for some photos before guests started arriving!

Look at this beautiful outdoor space for photos!!!

Just like that it was time to hide the wedding party while us parents greeted the guests as they arrived!!

It all seemed to be going SO FAST.

Goodness, I just want to do it ALL again!

And then it was time to line up for the ceremony!!

I am so thankful for all of these photos I have – my children and sons-in-law did a great job getting all of these for me!

I only took a few of the photos in this whole post!!

The ceremony was so very beautiful and God honoring.

Kamryn surprised EVERYONE, including her groom, when a song that she had recorded herself singing was playing as she walked down the aisle with her Dad.

Once everyone realized it was her beautiful voice, there was not a dry eye – one of my favorite memories was seeing Grant’s face as he realized who was singing.

Such a precious sweet memory!

Another favorite memory was listening to Grant and Kamryn’s hand written vows.

SO so precious!!

By this time I needed some tissues, but my clutch had not made it to my seat like it was supposed to!

Kayla to the rescue – she literally gave me the bow off of Saige’s head to use to wipe my runny nose – such a funny memory!!!

After the beautiful ceremony, there was a snack and mocktail hour while some more photos were taken, and then it was time for the reception.

What a BEAUTIFUL venue for it all!

It was seriously so incredibly lovely.

Every single thing.

Before dinner was served, they had what was called The Grand March!

The DJ was introducing the wedding party to the reception, and then the bride and groom, of course!

Kamryn had told everyone at the rehearsal dinner the night before that they needed to do something fun as they were introduced – so they all started planning their entrance.

Little did I know that someone had told my husband, the father of the groom, also the best man, to “just act old like you are!”

Well, then they came up with the idea to bring A WALKER to the wedding the next day to do just that – act old.

Just so you know there was a whole lot of “don’t tell Mom! don’t tell Mom!” going on – and I am SO glad no one told me!!

I probably would have said “Babe, do you think that is appropriate? Are you sure you should do that?” but instead I watched this all go down without knowing and I WAS DYING WITH LAUGHTER!!!

After Kamryn’s poor sister helped my old husband through the door and down some stairs with his walker they finished their entrance with a dance!

PERFECTION.

It was SO so funny!!

Grant and Kamryn’s entrance was epic too – Grant JUMPED OVER THE TOP OF KAMRYN and landed at the bottom of the stairs!!!

I kid you not!!!

Ok -this is the only (close up) photo I have of the bride and groom!

I am not ok with that!!

But thankful I asked them to smile while they were trying to eat so I at least have this!

One of my best friends made the trip to be with us, and my brother did too!!!

Meant so much to us to have them there!!

Truly unbelievable that my brother could make the trip, and we are SO thankful!!

The dinner was lovely.

After dinner was over, the FUN began!!

There was Grant and Kamryn’s first dance!

They are so very perfect together in every way!

Then there was the mother and son dance!

Grant had us dance to a song by Caleb Beachy called “I Love This Dance.”

Goodness, I listened to that song constantly the whole week before the wedding so I would not listen to it while we danced – the words made me sob every time!!

Well, that plan didn’t work – Grant and I didn’t hear the words, but chatted and cried the whole time we danced – and kind of remembered our twirls.

What a privilege to be this young man’s mama.

Such a GIFT.

A gift I am not worthy of.

There were many other fun things at the reception – one was called “Photo Rush” – where each table was called to the dance floor by number to get a photo with Grant and Kamryn!

It was fast and so so very neat!!!!

I wish I had a photo of it!!

There was a car decorating moment, dancing, walking tacos for snack late in the night, outdoor games on the lawn, and just SO many people who stayed and enjoyed every minute of it!!

Around 10:30 it was time to send Grant and Kamryn off with a sparkling exit.

I could not believe it was over!

My emotions were all over the place!!

SO so so happy, so so so bittersweet!!!

What a fun send off though for our bride and groom!

Grant and Kamryn have already been married almost three months!!

It is the sweetest thing to watch them start their lives together as one!!!

My goodness, the years upon years of prayers we have said for this very moment in time!

Mr. and Mrs. Grant Moschel, CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Your wedding was GORGEOUS and we could not be more happy for you!!!

WE LOVE YOU BOTH SO MUCH!!!
