The idea came about a few months ago by my cuzins Billy, Dan, and Jeff, and after
a few phone calls, some decorating, the party was ready to go. We had around 100 people waiting
at the Knights of Columbus hall in L'anse Michigan. Lisa and Bill had no idea the party was
happening, and even at the last moment they couldn't figure out what was going on. As Dan drove
the car up to the KC hall both Lisa and Bill were looking the other way, noticing little things
that usually would go unnoticed, but not seeing the big picture! Dan finally turned into the
parking lot and Bill could be quoted saying "What the hell are you doing" before realizing what
he was doing. Lisa quickly broke down in gleeful tears, and Bill had the uncanny smile on
his face that seemed to be permanatly stuck all night! After everyone settled in and congratulated
them, we had an excellent dinner of cheeseburgers, hot dogs, brats, and ALL the side orders you
could want, we got ready for the movie. The movie was hundreds of pictures of Bill, Lisa, Billy,
Jeff, Dan, and many group photos including an array of shots from there wedding! The video was
really cool, and most everyone was happy with it! The rest of the night was a blast, we got to
see our relatives we don't usually get the chance to see, along with the family friends that we
love so much. Danielle, Ken, Michelle, and Nyle all came up from Texas(or L.A., with old ppl :P).
They were much fun, as Danielle kept a good dance going all night, including people that don't
know how to dance, and teaching them the art of "Bouncing" ;). Michelle did some crazy dances
that worked the crowd well, while Nyle had to wait a while before starting, but once he did he
earned the center of attention on at least one occasion (YMCA!) Also visiting that we usually
don't see a whole lot of were my Uncle Daryls parents! They were in good spirits, and were fun to
have around all night. From Minnesota we had our family friends Michelle and Jim there! Michelle
was all over the dance floor, having a great time, while Jim kept good company with the guys in
the back room watching the Packer game. Now i don't know what else to say about the night, it was
a great time, cheers to Billy, Jeff, and Dan for working that out, and
CONGRATULATIONS to Lisa and Bill on 25 years!
