Here is the cute little salon where all the bridesmaids got their hair done. More impressive than the hair, I got the cutest pair of wool fleece lined mittens here! My only Minnesota purchase.
From the salon, we went straight to the chapel to get everyone dressed for the ceremony. It was held at the Fort Snelling Military Chapel just outside Minneapolis.
After Mommy and the other bridesmaids made sure that Courtney got hitched, it was off to the reception at a local golf course - like everything else - covered in snow. The high on the day of the wedding was -5, with a low of -18. Below are photos of Mommy posing outdoors (no frostbite!) and sledding in her bridesmaid dress just to show all her California friends and family. Yes, that is her breath in the first photo and she did actually wear long underwear and ugg boots under her bridesmaid dress.
Other than the wedding, Mommy spent most of her time participating in wedding related events (usually eating) or sleeping. She also got to visit the Mall of America, but spent most of the shopping time trying to find a wrap to wear with the bridesmaid dress (and didn't even wear it in the end).

Yeah... you're crazy!! Should have at least put on the wrap for the picture outside. I do have to say that sledding in a bridesmaid dress looked like fun (and may have been the best use of the dress!:-)
Mommy says it is the best use of the dress since it is now in a bag in the garage waiting to go to Salvation Army.
