Our Family Blog: Ane & Ashok's Wedding

Here are photos from the wedding rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, wedding preparations, wedding, and reception for Jon's sister, Ane, to Ashok.

A note: I have far fewer photos from Ane & Ashok's wedding simply because I had to spend so much time chasing after Andy. It was just as beautiful and lovely as Karina & Joey's, and we were lucky to be a part of both. (Luckily both of them had great photographers to capture their days for them!)

The Rehearsal

The rehearsal was at a local park.

Here comes the bride!

The Rehearsal Dinner
The reception was at a popular restaurant and bar with its own bowling alley

Andy was disappointed he wasn't allowed to play with all of the balls (or the cabinet full of shoes).

Matt's first time bowling
(Andy wasn't too thrilled about being confined to a spectator role on the couch, but he was just too eager to get into trouble otherwise!)

The Wedding Preparations
The wedding was held at a farm in the Minnesota countryside, about an hour from the Twin Cities. The "girls" got ready in the farmhouse.

The Wedding Ceremony
I'll share my photos first, then add those others shared with us.

My favorite photo of Matt after the ceremony (thanks, Uncle Vic!)

The Reception
The reception was in the barn, renovated for holding events like this.
