The Great Des Moines Black-Out of 2010

Last weekend we celebrated Tyler and Meaghan's wedding in Des Moines. For those of you that don't know, Tyler is Ben's first cousin. Tyler was the best man in our wedding and Ben was able to return the favor by being the best man in Tyler's wedding. It's one of those weddings that you just knew would be a fantastic time. And guess what!? It was! Here's why:

• The wedding was on Friday night. Let's face it. Some of us needed that extra day to recover!
• No kids! We all left our kids at home and it was such a great idea!
• Groom karoke! Yes, that's right! The DJ was actually a DJ/live performer. He brought a keyboard and a guitar and so there was a great mix of live music and ipod music. It created a "piano bar-ish environment". The greatest part was when the groom grabbed the microphone and sang "Come Sail Away" by Styx. Every single person in attendance was listening and signing along. It was great. Tyler - you should start touring!! 
• Great crowd! Everyone was there for one reason and one reason only! To have a good time!
• Vodka...and Red Bull...and 7-up...and Lemonade...and Cranberry Juice...and more vodka!
• 5 Hour Energy (necessary for some folks)
• A DD! (Thanks Gina!)
