The Day My Mom Got Married

On Friday, August 6th 2010 my mom and (now) step-dad were married in a cute little church on a lake in Minneapolis. With only their children and parents in attendance the day was personal, heartfelt and emotional. After exchanging their vows and shedding some tears of joy Paula and Steve treated their family to a delicious dinner at renowned Twin Cities restaurant Capital Grille. To complete the night, the new family celebrated in a private area of downtown Minneapolis' best kept bar secret, Prohibition. The following pictures, courtesy of Katherine J. Photography, are a perfect recount of the beautiful day (oh, and there's a lot of them).
