oh sorry everyone. sometimes we forget that not everyone speaks Minnesotan. Here, let's let wikipedia help us here on this one...
Uff da (can also be spelled huffda, uff-da, uffda, uff-dah, oofda, ufda, ufdah, oofta, uf daa, or ufta) is an expression of Norwegian origin adopted byScandinavian-Americans in the 19th century. It is an exclamation that is relatively common in the Upper Midwestern states of the United States.
.... Within Midwestern culture, Uff da frequently translates into: I am overwhelmed. It has become a mark of Scandinavian roots, particularly for people from North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin, northern Illinois, Iowa,Minnesota, and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.[2][3] Uff da can often be used as an alternative for many common day swear words.
Ok, so now when we say Uff da, y'all know that we mean 'oh man are we ever overwhelmed.'
And really we have good reason. See, we just got back to MN after a 3 day wedding extravaganza in Ohio. For our crazy family, that means packing up our motorhome (RV) and hitting the road for a 13 hour drive to Delphos, Ohio for an afternoon celebration of love.
Overall, we had an amazing time. The wedding was a beautiful and simple BARN WEDDING that literally could not have been at a nicer barn. Talk about well-maintaned. This place made Playmobil look like amateurs. Here's a little taste of the scene. Enjoy
Cute vases that were later filled with pastel-colored flowers
The area for the ceremony- small and intimate yet really elegant.
The flower arrangements
The maid of honor. Oh yeah, best part is that flower is not even a real flower. It's the most spectacular paper flower I've ever seen. Made by the bride herself.
