Frosting

On Saturday, Naomi and I whipped up frosting for Betsy's wedding cakes. We used 16 pounds of powdered sugar, 8 cups of shortening and 8 cups of butter. There is nothing healthy about frosting!

Registering

I went with Betsy to Target to register for wedding gifts and forgot to take any pictures of the fairy godmother wand that we used to zap household items onto her wish list. Instead, I took a picture of Betsy as she unloaded our cart to find the bag of chocolate that we rewarded ourselves with.

The menu included beef tips and noodles, chicken, mashed potatoes,  dinner rolls, tossed salad, coleslaw and a marshmallow-fruit salad. One of the perks of being in the bridal party or one of the immediate family is leading the food line.

Aaron and Lauren were eager to pose for photos of them kissing.

Several girls vied for the bouquet. Any unmarried girls old enough to gain her dad's permission were invited to participate.
