I'd say it was for one of my husband's cousins. It was a second wedding for both bride and groom so the couple opted to have a smaller ceremony. The wedding was held on July 6 at the Smokey the Bear park in International Falls, MN. The red, white and blue bunting and streamers that were left from the Independence Day celebrations were used as part of the decorations. After the ceremony we all trooped off to the local VFW hall for the reception. About thirty minutes into the reception we noticed that our young children were beginning to slip and slide while dancing. The floor was "sweating" so that dancing came to an end when my then four year old son crashed into his older sister and cousin. The buffet consisted of ham, canned corn and mashed potatoes. The bar consisted of kegs of beer and lemonade. The bride and groom were no where to be seen during the first two hours of the reception. We later found out that they were visiting every downtown bar for free drinks and no one knew when they might show up. The arrived about three hours after the ceremony ended, smashed cake into their kids' faces and then started fighting. Needless to say it was the a wedding that we'll never forget!
