Wedding Recap

The wedding has come and gone...... What a great day!!!

Brian and I at the reception

We left Will with friends for Friday and Saturday night at our house. We knew he'd have a blast, and he did! Friday was the rehearsal--it went very well, despite one of the readers and the mother of the bride getting stuck in a elevator. We then headed for a fabulous dinner for twenty at Restaurant 45. I'd never been there and it was great! Then we all turned in for the big day ahead.

It was raining in the morning, but the sun was out an hour or so before the ceremony, allowing us to take outdoor pictures. One of Kim's parents neighbors graciously allowed us to use their backyard, which bordered on a pretty little pond. A limo whisked the bridal party (and one groomswoman) to the ceremony, which was gorgeous. I teared up a little when Brian and Kim said their vows. Then we headed to the Cumberland Monastery for some more outdoor pictures in their public gardens.

Then it was off to the reception! The ride was really hard and bumpy....but we arrived in one piece. Kim's cousins had taken pictures of every person entering the ceremony, and they printed them out while we were taking pictures and created a personal guestbook where you signed under your picture. My husband's Best Man speech was funny and short, poking just enough fun at the bride and groom for humor, and ending sincerely. Good food, cake table and dancing....it was a great night!

Congrats, Brian and Kim!!
