Congratulations Steve and Jessica!


This weekend we travelled to Aberdeen, South Dakota to help Steve and Jessica celebrate their new life together! We took it as an opportunity to take a little mini-vacation ourselves, since we don't get away that often. The reception was held at the Best Western Ramkota in Aberdeen and it is a lovely facility. The staff there were so nice and welcoming, we really enjoyed ourselves and would love to do another reception there.

The wedding dance was a big success! It was a nice-sized crowd and they were a lot of fun. We did lots of participation dances and got silly, they were great sports about everything. Kelly spent most of the night on the mic and out with the crowd, but Kristen got to do some spinning, which she hasn't done in a while. As it got later, the crowd was requesting a lot of hip hop and R&B, which is right up her alley. Playing for an enthusiastic crowd is always so much fun! When it came time for the Cha Cha Slide, we had the largest crowd EVER! There almost wasn't room for people to even move, it was so awesome! I wish we had brought a camera to document it.

Steve and Jessica were a beautiful and fun couple, we really hope they enjoyed themselves. We definitely enjoyed being there. Afterwards, we packed up our stuff and headed to our room to relax, eat vending machine snacks, and rub each other's feet- it was a loooong day!

The next morning, after we loaded up and checked out, we couldn't help stopping inside Minerva's for their Sunday Brunch. It was wonderful and the food was delicious- the perfect end to our weekend. Neither or us had ever been to Aberdeen and it was much larger than I expected. Hopefully next time we can stay longer and maybe explore a little bit more.
