Our Wedding

<p>Jesse called me on his way down from the farm and said his new combine just arrived and told me he wanted to show me it. He came home ate, showered, and we took off for the farm. We went and looked at the combine and then he said he wanted to go check on "large marge" (I name all of Jesse's fields so I can remember where they are at...this field is HUGE hence the name large marge!) We get to large marge and the sunset was absolutely beautiful. I told him I wanted to take a picture of Riley. Rileys new thing is if I take a picture of her, she wants to then take a picture of me. So...I took a picture of her then somehow Jesse gave her his phone and had it recording. Riley thought she was taking a picture--the video she took is absolutely hilarious! Her commentary in the background is so funny, she is taping the gravel road, telling us to kiss, telling us to hurry up, counting down from 3......miraculously she actually videotaped the proposal absolutely perfectly. The proposal was authentic and involved Riley--exactly how I wanted it to be. I thought Jesse was joking around until he started crying then I knew he meant business! July 17th was one of the best days!</p>

Since Jesse will not write anything about his "people" I will give it a shot!Jordan is Jesse's twin brother--if you think they look a like, you should hear how they talk. I still don't know if I can tell them apart on the phone. Jordan is definetly  Jesse's "bestie for the restie" and will be a great brother-in-law! Riley loves Jordan, Savanna, the bunny, and Nash; we are lucky to live close to them!

Jordan Braathen

Kelsey is my older sister who lives the dream! She travels the world and works only 3 days a week! She is currently living near Washington D.C. Luckily Jesse proposed just a few days before Kelsey came home this summer to visit. It meant the world to me to have her there when I said "yes" to the dress. Kelsey is already rocking at being maid of honor. She has my bach party planned and working on my bridal shower! Thank you for being YOU, Kels!

Kelsey Peterson

Dalton is Jesse's best friend! I can only handle these two in small doses (they are crazy!) Dalton has a one of a kind personality and can make anyone laugh. Dalton definitely brings out the child in Jesse.

Dalton Weber

In 4th grade, my parents told me the worst news ever......That we would be moving to Devils Lake, ND. I was so sad to leave my friends in Minnesota. The first day of school, my desk was next to a cute little blondie aka Jessica :) We quickly became friends and have been besties since. Jessica is hands down the funniest person I know and is always the life of the party. Everyone needs a "Jessica" in their life.

Jessica Lilleberg

I met Brettlee 3 and half years ago when she moved to Devils Lake from Wisconsin. We instantly became best friends. Everyone has that one friend that is their "person"...Brettlee is definitely "my person". Brettlee is hands down the prettiest, sweetest, and funniest person--ever. If you don't know Brettlee....you should!  

Brettlee Brigham

Jordan is one of Jesse's high school buddies. Jesse has stories upon stories about him and Seiler in high school. Jesse was pumped that Seiler said he would be a part of our special day! 

Jordan Seiler

Tanner and Jesse met in college (I believe....I could have totally just made that up!) Tanner is always a good time to be around and one of Jesse's snowmobiling buddies!

Tanner Hambek

Jamie has been my childhood bestie since we were in diapers. Jamie and I grew up in Farmington together; she lived right across the street from me. We were inseparable. When my parents told me that we were moving to North Dakota I was SO sad to leave Jamie. We always promised that we would be in each others wedding, move to Coloardo, and live on a ranch together with a bunch of farm animals. At least we are fullfilling one promise :)

Jamie Kenealy

Craig is my younger brother--if you don't know Craig...you should. He is in hockey and is quite the cowboy. He is the best uncle!! Craig and Jesse are two peas in a pod; although they can drive my mom and I nuts at times, I am happy that they will officially be "brothers"!

Craig Peterson

Sarah is my "go-to" gal. Sarah is a momma to TWINS! Jax and Miles arrived a few weeks ago! Sarah sadly lives almost 4 hours away but we talk every single day. We can vent to each other, make fun of each other, and snap each other 24/7 yet never run out of things to say. Sarah is the most thoughtful and giving person I know. Everyone needs a Sarah.

Sarah Skarda

Savanna and I went to high school together &amp; graduated in the same year. Luckily she started dating Jesse's twin brother and will (hopefully) be my future sister-in-law one day!! :) I have always hoped and wanted a sister-in-law that I could be super close with; so Jordan better seal the deal. Savanna helps keep me sane during farming, always down for a good time, and the most laid back person!

Savanna Geske

I met Brady through Jesse and he is one the nicest guys I know (and an extremely hard worker!) Jesse talks so highly of Brady and I am happy that he can be apart of our wedding!

Brady Pesek

I met Mylee in high school and ever since I met her she has been the same bubbly, happy go lucky girl! She always has a smile on her face and can make any bad day turn into a good one. Mylee will be the best personal attendant--she will help keep me sane throughout the day, which may be a challenging task ;) Kidding!

Mylee Kenner

Bobby dates my sister, Kelsey. Bobby is a one of a kind dude! He is hilarious and always a good time to be around. Bobby and Jesse have quite the bromance when they are together.

Bobby Krywalski

I met Dylan through Jesse and anytime he is with us, he has us laughing. The stories he tells are hilarious. If you are having a bad day, go talk to Dylan.

Dylan Torgerson

First off, it was very weird to type out "Meaghan". SO...this is my friend Tweed aka Tweeder. Everyone needs a friend like Tweed--she is hilarious, stylish, outgoing, and literally up for a good time 24/7. Tweed will be the best personal attendant--I needed someone who can help me look semi presentable in my wedding pictures, someone to give Jesse a hard time throughout the day, and someone who has a beer waiting for me right after I say "I do"!

Meaghan Tweed

Riley will be thee cutest flower girl, ever. She is taking her job very seriously. Recently, Jesse, Riley, and I were at the church getting our pictures taken for the new directory. Riley said she would take nice pictures if she could practice being a flower girl. Riley has a heart of gold and makes me SO proud!

Riley Lynn

David is Jesse's childhood friend. David, and his family, are some of the nicest people you will meet. Fingers crossed he is able to make it to the wedding and be apart of our special day.
