Caleb & Lindsey's Wedding

This weekend we made a quick journey back to Carroll County, Indiana: Shawn's hometown. One of his best friends from high school, Caleb Stevens, was getting married! Caleb and his family are basically a second family to Shawn so he was really looking forward to this wedding. Caleb's Mom, Cecilia did a reading at our wedding and his dad, Mark, was our DJ. The ceremony was beautiful (and looooong) and the reception was a great time! During the ceremony Caleb's sister Savanah sang "The Prayer". It was so beautiful! Once Shawn gets the video uploaded I will put the video up of h er singing. It brought her parents as well as Caleb and his brothers to tears. A lot of Shawn's old friends from Carroll County High School were there as well as some friends that he and Caleb made at Vincennes University. As is typical when you get the CC crew together there is a lot of drinking and even more craziness, so it is no surprise that things got a little crazy! We'll get to that though...

Introducing Mr. & Mrs. Stevens!
Time for the reception. We have been married two months now! How much longer are we considered newlyweds?
The groom, Caleb, in the middle, taking shots with his brother (and best man) Jonah and his dad. Yes, I said shots. Tequila. I told you things were going to get wild!
The newlyweds! They are heading to a cabin in Gaitlinburg, TN for their honeymoon.
Friends! Friends for Life! So...the night ends with Caleb, Jonah and Jordan wrestling in the street in their tuxes after they left the post-wedding bar trip. Mark, the groom's dad, drank more than he usually does and Shawn and I ended up helping him back to his hotel room after the reception. Then...Shawn had to help Lindsey get Caleb back to his hotel room too after the bar. What a wedding. What a wedding. Boys. What can you do?
Shawn and I will be spending Thanksgiving with his family this year back in Carroll County. Caleb is quite a musician and he'll be performing at a bar in Burlington the night before Thanksgiving so I'll finally get to hear him perform! I'm looking forward to that!
