Update: I updated the 101 Challenge Page – go check it out! 😀
We had such a nice time last night! Although we almost missed the ceremony! We had printed directions as well as the GPS, and both failed us miserably! We got there about 10 minutes late, but saw most of the ceremony.
While it was at the Groom’s church, the pastor that married the brides grandparents and parents came out of retirement to help officiate. He joked and said that since he was 72, if they wanted him to marry their child’s wedding, they better get busy right away!
We stopped for lunch, this place was right in front of our hotel:
Somehow I always feel like I am on “vacation” even if only an hour from our house, hence the decision to get a big ass beer!
And sliders, which were really good!
The country club was nice too – I loved the table settings:
I had a pinot grigio and some apps – the beef wellingtons had mushrooms on the inside and the pizza was cold – its really hard to keep appetizers hot in a big room!
We had a potato soup, but it had a weird taste to it – I think it was cinnamon?
Then salad:
But the best was the dinner – best wedding dinner I’ve ever had – stuffed bone in chicken breast with green beans and a side of some sort of potato. The chicken was seasoned perfectly, it was hot, and so moist!
There were so many people at this wedding – I think around 250? I don’t even think I know 250 people!
I got a picture of the bride dancing with her Dad. Mike is Tony’s oldest friend – I think they met freshman year in high school, and Tony was their best man when they got married.
The hotel bed was so comfortable, we slept in until 10:15! We hit up McDonald’s on the way home – I ordered the hamburger happy meal with apples. Don’t get this – it was the worst hamburger ever, I don’t know what I was thinking!
Thanks to everyone who emailed me their week 3 status of 101 Days of Summer – I’ll be updating the 101 page later on this afternoon.
Tony still doesn’t know what he wants for his papa day!
Did you have a big or small wedding, and if you aren’t married yet, which one would you prefer?
I loved our wedding – Hannah was my maid of honor, my step-son Joe was the best man, my mom and Tony’s parents – that was it! Although my twin sister still gives me shit that she wasn’t there!
I miss my Dad on holiday’s like this – if your papa is still around, give him an extra hug for me! Happy Father’s Day Tony!
Our 1st wedding was planned in under 24 hours. Long story but mom and dad didn’t want me to move in with Kev before getting married and ultimately would not help with a big wedding down the road. But we knew we wanted to get married no matter what so within 24 hrs. we had planned out something special. We had a church, dad married us, friend provided a quick reception meal at her restaurant, we got rings a dress and friends. It was great! Then a year later we planned out a big wedding and it was nice. BUT our 10th anniversary was a vow renewal on the beach in Jamaica and if I had to do it over I would totally choose a beach wedding. So much more special! We’ll celebrate 14 years this New Year’s Eve. Oh and I guess I didn’t mention that Kev and I only dated 3 months before getting married. Love him!
Great story Angie! 😀
i had about 125 people at our wedding, but it still felt very small b/c it was in a movie theater and we had a simple cocktail reception afterwards that didn’t last longer than 2 hours.
AWEEE! i love looking at wedding photos so much! u cant help but smile 🙂
mmmm and the food isnt too bad either;)
xoxo <3
We had a medium sized wedding–about 140 people, we got married in the park by our house, and then had a cocktail reception at our friend’s bar/restaurant in Fells Point. Perfect for us!
I love weddings. We had a semi-traditional wedding. About 100 guests, no church. My husbands friend’s mother is a pastor, so she officiated. We got married and had the reception at a Botanical Gardens near where we lived at the time. Good food, flowing wine, music, dancing, outdoor ceremony, it was really perfect in my eyes.
Wow!! How great the wedding is! How delicious the food are! I LOVE all.
i sorta updated on my last blog post ; )
there will only be three people at our wedding in august .. i really dont want to have a big wedding – too stressful and really its only about the two of us.. forget everyone else!!!! lol, i’ll have the family over for a party after : )
happy fathers day to tony!!!!!
Big wedding! Glad you had fun and the food was good. Sorry, but I LOVE McD’s hamburgers even though they don’t actually resemble hamburgers at all. I think it’s the onions that I love. Clearly we could never have dinner together. I believe that everything needs onions. 🙂
Gotta love food at weddings! And about your last pizza post – can I just say I’m glad I have finally met someone who can eat pizza for almost every meal like me? Love it!!!
What a lovely wedding….The food looked awesome.
But where is the picture of you and Tony?
Pretty bride – love her hair! And how cool that the minister has carried on the tradition…makes for a sweet story.
We had about 125 at our wedding – lots of family, friends, and high school and college buddies. It was fun!
I used to love McDonald’s hamburgers…but then again, I love onions. (I know you just gagged at that, lol!).
For only having a week to plan, we had between 100 and 150 people. We knew we were going to get married, the question was just when. For such short notice we got married in the church we both grew up in and covered all the bases that needed to be covered. It was a simple and sweet wedding and I wouldn’t change it for ANYTHING! If I had longer to plan I’m sure I would have been a Bridezilla and the hubs would have changed his mind about tying the knot!
We had a very small wedding; just my hubby, my mom, and me at city hall in Manhattan!! 😀

This is a perfect time to talk about weddings. I just watched Princess Victoria of Sweden to get married to an ordinary Swedish guy (her ex personal trainer). The bride was beautiful, her dress was perfect and the couple looked very happy. I guess I would like my wedding to be like that, except at a smaller scale. 🙂
I doubt I’m never going to get married though, I’m 42 already..
I watched part of the wedding on t.v. – love that she married a “commoner!”
I met my husband online – you never know and since I am 42 – we are still young!
Looked like a very elegant wedding! Ours was a small wedding of only 30 people. Perfect size for me to be able to see everyone and kept the cost way down.
LOL…I get in “vacation” mode whenever I’m out of routine.
I love the picture of the bride and her dad!
I miss our dad too! :0(
Happy Father’s Day Tony!
Ugh…I can’t stand burgers from McDonald’s! I think they are horrible…and all those onions…yuck! I do however eat chicken nuggets every once in a while!
What a pretty bride! And that meal at the wedding looks delish! We had a fairly good sized wedding…our wedding party had 14 people including us. 🙂 It was super fun and I’d do it all over again (with my husband, of course!!) if we could because it was such a blast!!
