Debauchery in Des Moines
October 4th and 5th, 2008. The day after the wedding, Sara’s parents (mostly Georgia) entertained guests at their beautiful home in Ankeny with a nice brunch. While Sara and I spent the afternoon opening gifts and packing our bags for Asia, many of our friends decided to go to the Hessen Haus in Des Moines and get ripped. Unbelievable.
Many, but not all, of these people tried to burn down a portion of Des Moines shortly after these photos were taken.
While I won’t bore you with photos of people drinking big boots full of liquor, or doing there best Sarah Palin impression, or pawing each other like drunken high school kids, I will say that all of these things happened (or so I’ve been told). If only we had been around to see more of it…good times.
Our wedding weekend was a load of fun. Thank you all for making the days so special.
Here are some of my favorite post-wedding quotes (that I can remember):
- “Let’s go to the barn dance!”
- “Four boots?!”
- “Take the damn picture all ready!”
- “I’ve been putting Asgrow in my coffee for years.”
- “Who was trading clothes?”
Our friends are awesome.











Hello Mr and Mrs Jason Musfeldt. I mean Lancaster.
Hope all is going well!
I must ask, who tried to burn down Des Moines?
I think everyone pictured here…but like Jason said, we weren’t there.
Sara is correct. Everyone pictured there tried to burn down Des Moines. While only a few of us actually held the lighters, everyone played an active roll. Some people did much more damage to themselves then they did to Des Moines.
I am happy to say I made it through the entire evening intact. I did get some type of flu when I arrived home after the wedding.
All in all, a great wedding a great weekend after the wedding. Thank you so much to Jason and Sara for hanging out with me all day Sunday.
Yikes – the flu?! Thanks for coming out man – we had a great time hanging out with you too.
