Matt and Brittney Olsen= Coolest wedding EVER!

I had the honor of being my good friend Matt Olsen's Best man in his wedding which was monday August 13th and knew this was going to be one to remember. Carl and Deb are my South Dakota Mom and Dad, and this is the best family ever, so much Love Joy and true spirit of all that's good! We left minneapolis on Saturday my wife and I on our 1947 Knuck, and good friend Jason and Jess on there 1948 pan. Well of course the weather didn't cooperate so Sat night we made it about half way to Aberdeen and then found a hotel to hide out from the storm that was coming. Sunday morning we woke up to pouring rain and a forecast of it being in the path we were traveling. We wrapped up in plastic garbage bags and off we went. After riding for another 100 miles in the rain and getting soaked to the bone we stopped at a fleet farm, bought some rain gear and dry clothes and off we went again. Luckily the weather started to clear as we rolled into Aberdeen and the skies were going to be sunny for the wedding. Shortly before we got to Aberdeen Jay's pan blew up and was out for the count. Luckily Greg Lew and Dave Monohan wer close behind with a truck and trailer to rescue him.
