Celebrating the Future Mr. & Mrs. Deterding!

On Sunday afternoon, we had a great time celebrating John and Becky and meeting all of Becky's family!
Becky's parents made it all the way from Waldo, KS; one of her brothers and his family came from Plainville; and his other brother and family live much closer in Gardner.
We all enjoyed our Sunday dinner, with the future bride/groom and their parents sitting together around the table.
After dinner, John and Becky surprised us by handing out gifts.
These gifts served as an extra-special way of asking us to be a part of their special day.  Violet and Evelyn (as well as Kyla and Becky's niece Callie) were asked to be flower girls!  Their bags had flowers for their hair, bubbles, tattoos and a ring pop.
Calvin and Oliver were asked to be ushers!  Their bags included a KU basketball and a ring pop, as well as a clever basketball-themed card created by Uncle John (timely as the Final 4 was played this weekend).
Here's the wedding crew!
Joy and I were excited to be asked to be bridesmaids!  And we were excited to finally meet Becky's mom, who John says is pretty much exactly like our mom :)
We're so happy for you, John & Becky!  And can't wait for the big day coming up in October!!
