The Duvall clan spent the weekend in my old stomping grounds - Columbia, MO - to celebrate Marissa and Justin getting married. It was fabulous weekend of celebration, drinking, and reminiscing on my college days. Ben even let me go to the bookstore and buy a new sweatshirt - thanks, B! Here is a snapshot catalog of the weekend:
Friday night consisted of attending the rehearsal [B played his cello for their processional/recessional]. Following rehearsal we hit El Rancho for nachos, and then the Penguin to do a little pre-celebration with Marissa and Justin! I took my first tequila shot in about six years.
Saturday during the day we took Ben's mom around campus. We visited the bookstore, the quad, and I gave her a verbal tour as we drove around. I learned that I need to get more specific facts about things if I'm going to continue to give tours in the future... "That's Sig Nu, I hung out there when I was a freshman" just doesn't cut it, haha.
Of course, the most important event was the wedding itself! It was a beautiful, sweet service and everybody looked truly happy - here is proof in pictures!
The reception took place at the Tiger Hotel in downtown Columbia. The ballroom that they had it in was BEAUTIFUL and had a great vintage feel, making minimal decorations the perfect look for the affair. The hints of vintage, green, and candle light made for the perfect ambience.
