Denise and Mike – November 29, 2008

Click here to receive the $10 gift certificate for Denise and Mike’s Wedding! This is going to be a blast – many surprises in store… I think my food coma is over from Thanksgiving, so I should be good to go. 🙂
I’ll post some shots soon, just up at 5am Sunday morning here with one of the kids and had to blog about this wedding…
Just when I thought I’d seen it all we get whips and daggers at the reception! To quote Mike, “Denise said no to an Indiana Jones-themed wedding, but not an Indiana Jones-themed reception! Cue the Indy outfit (hat, jacket, whip), Indy ice sculpture, Indy groom’s cake with cake topper, entertainer Johnny Pheonix doing a bit with Denise “mind reading” and snapping a blue feather out of evil twin (best man / cousin) Al’s hand with an Australian bullwhip. Oh, I almost forgot: they cut the cake with a familiy heirloom authentic German dagger taken from a World War II battlefield, complete with nazi insignia – creepy cool. Truth is stranger than fiction; Mike and Denise get the award for “most uniquely themed wedding reception – ever.” Joe is showing off the “Grizzly Adams” caricature of us; just a slight resemblance I hope. The artist lives in a country shack near Red Wing – cool. Denise and Mike, thanks for the memories and stores; I’m pretty sure I won’t see another Indiana Jones ice sculpture, home-made ball and chain, or WWII dagger for cake cutting! -Judd and Joe
