A Celebration of Love

This weekend was one in which we celebrated the love of our good friend Josh and his fiance Michelle! The celebration started on Friday with a rehearsal at the church and then dinner at the Clarion hotel. The boys all headed to the church and the wives met up with them at the dinner. It has been awhile since all of us have been together at the same time, so we had a great time Friday night laughing and reminiscing!

Saturday was the BIG day! It was gloomy and cold, but the weather wasn't going to put a damper on the bride and grooms day! We met up with the bridal party right before the wedding started and got to say "hello!" to Josh, you could tell he was nervous, but very excited to see his bride!

Lookin' good!

The wedding went off without a hitch! Everyone looked great, especially Michelle, she was an absolutely beautiful bride! You couldn't help but smile every time you looked at Josh, he was giddy! The minister, Father Vu, was fun to watch and listen to, he razzed Michelle and Josh a little bit which had the whole congregation giggling with them through the ceremony.


"With this ring..."

After the wedding we headed to the reception at the Longbranch. After dinner the dance got underway, it is always moving to see the bride and groom dance their first dance together! After Josh and Michelle danced Josh shared a dance with his new step-daughter Melina, it was so precious to see them bonding on the dance floor!


After all the formal wedding dances it was time for the real fun to begin! The music got louder and the beats got stronger and as we boogied through the night we all thought we were professional dancers...the only one that probably deserves credit for being any good is Mike, but you couldn't tell the rest of us that!


"Oh the Red Strokes..."
Male bonding!

Cheers!

We really had a great time! Thank you to Josh and Michelle for including us in your special day! We wish you all the best as husband and wife!

Needless to say with all the partying going on, we didn't do much today other than sit around and read the paper!
