Sean and Dani's Wedding

Another lovely weekend in Colorado Springs last weekend. This time, we went out for Chris's cousin Sean's wedding, which was held at the beautiful Shove Memorial Chapel.


And yes, the chapel did have an office. :-)


It was a very pretty rose-themed wedding, and we all had a fantastic time!




I uploaded lots more pictures of the weekend on my Picasa account, so feel free to browse.

But the fun didn't stop with the wedding. On Saturday, we threw an 80th birthday party for Chris's Great Aunt Mary. Since Uncle Ray graciously hosted, we were once again treated to barbecue from Rudy's. We demolished FIVE pounds of meat, which is not bad for eleven people!

On Sunday we were mostly on our own, so we toured the Celestial Seasonings factory in Boulder, as well as the Butterfly Pavilion in Broomfield. The tour of the fea factory was interesting; we learned that the top three bestsellers for Celestial Seasonings are actually not tea at all. They're "herbal infusions" since they contain no tea leaves. The weirdest flavor was probably the blueberry green tea; it actually tasted less like tea and more like weak blueberry juice, but it was kind of tasty.
