Friday we went straight to Mary and Soren's wedding rehearsal. Mary was Penny's prayer partner while they both ventured out into the world during their time with Youth Encounter. Mary went to Denmark and Penny Africa. While Mary was on team she fell in love with her teammate and Danish gentleman, Soren Madsen. Penny was asked to sing in their wedding and that made us lucky enough to see them married and it was beautiful. They incorporated many American and Danish traditions into their reception. For example: When either the bride or groom leaves the room (ie: to use the bathroom) all of the men or woman, depending on who leaves, gets up and kisses said bride or groom on the cheek. Another, when everyone beats their feet on the ground (opposed to clinking glasses) the bride and groom must go under the table and kiss.
We had a blast at the Madsen wedding meeting up with old friends (Kriby and Nick, Josh, Tara and Dan) and hope for a life of the Lord's love, not to mention each other's.




the next photo is of our "mates" Kirby and Nick (Kirby is an Aussie!)

While in town for the wedding we also had the great privilege to meet up with our good friends Tara and Dan Schmidt, they were kind enough to pull out their futon for us for the entire weekend ( and we would love to return the favor anytime)! They also threw Kyle a batman themed birthday party (we are all big kids) on Friday because it was his birthday!
After we ate cake, we saw the midnight showing of the Dark Night. I am surprised Kyle has feeling in his arm after I clung to it all night!
The Schmidt's also treated us to John Piper, a Twins Game and ice cream on Sunday! waa hoo.

and last but not least! Birthday cake!

I really like the shot the two dancing with the clock in the background, also the cake shot. I glad Kyle is OK
