Cousin Bree got married at the Van Dusen Mansion in Minneapolis yesterday afternoon. We were pre-warned that it was going to be a very short ceremony and to arrive early. That was our game plan as we traveled up 35W until we reached Crosstown where the flashing road signs all said, "Major accident ahead." Sure enough, brake lights were beginning to appear so we hit "Re-Center" on Google Maps and took the first exit we could.
We sent a text to Bree's mom said, "See you at the reception!" knowing that there was no way we were ever going to make it on time. I'm thankful to say that we arrived twelve minutes before the bride was going to walk down the aisle. We were both quite thankful to be able to use the bathroom before the ceremony!
Equally thankful was Jeanette, the bride's mother. Her brother Don and his wife were stuck in the same traffic jam we were! We pulled into the parking lot and walked up to the wedding site together, laughing and comparing our stories.
It was such a joy to us to be able to see Sam's family again as we hadn't been together since Christmas Eve 2019, thanks to Covid. We were able to spend time with Sam's aunt and uncle, cousin David and family and cousin Phyllis and family on a lovely day in a beautiful setting.
If you look close, there's a squirrel above the bride and groom!
