Montana Wedding

The wedding in Montana was a nice Fairbanks family reunion as well as a time for widening our family ties with new family that were so beautifully warm and welcoming. Jeremiah and Tara are a really nice fit for each other and really wanted to make it a fun weekend for everyone. Thursday afternoon we arrived at Snowbowl Lodge and Dad and I went to set up the Grand tent for the cousins to sleep in. (It reminds me of a tent off of Harry Potter) 

The weather was beautiful. They had their wedding rehearsal that afternoon and then a family dinner. After dinner that night they had a variety show in which they sang together as Jeremiah played his guitar. So Becky, Lori, Steve and I got up and sang a little “the hills are alive”…Steve got the audience participation in singing “ahahah”…”with Jeremiah and Tara” “ahahaha” and then we broke into the Jeremy bat song and danced around. Uncle Jason told the story of Rindercella, Amy sang, Brett gave good advice we all participated in a rain song…what a fun way for people to get to know each other.

 On Friday we all had time for a little shopping, early in the afternoon there was a brief water fight activity planned, Family pictures were taken at 4:30, The Wedding was at 7:00pm with a dinner and dance to follow. Jeremiah and Tara had taken some dance lessons together and performed a dance for everyone. They cut the cake together and dished to all their guests instead of having a receiving line. The dancing was crazy and the weekend was a great success. 

Many thanks to all those who made the weekend amazing.
