Paul's brother Patrick got married a few weekends ago (Aug 21st). Friday was a pretty
chillaxin' day. There was a few things for the guys to do in the morning and then not much till Rehearsal at 5:00.
Practicing for Saturday
Me and Catherine hanging out
Preparing for speeches at the Rehearsal Dinner
Brittney and Dana giving their duo speech
Paul, his dad, and Mark. Paul's speech--- being a biased wife he did an AWESOME job and
at the end of his speech there were not many dry eyes in the room.
SATURDAY WEDDING DAY!
It was a VERY EARLY morning!!! There was lots of running around to before the guys had
to be at church and the wedding actually starting.

The Electric Slide
Yes there is a picture of Rita's... When we showed up to the Reception I was STARVED! Starvation and pregnancy don't go together. As we walked towards the courthouse I let put a LOUD gasp... like I saw a snake. Only it was better that a snake it was Rita's!! I told Paul, "You go ahead of me I'll meet you in there!" So I ran (literally) over to Rita's and was so wanting my usual Cherry Gelati, but settled for a Swedish Fish Misto Shake. MAN WAS IT GOOD! I enjoyed my shake very quickly and then headed into the reception. (For those of you thinking man that is terrible I did make it into the reception with plenty of time to spare before the Bride and Groom even arrived at the courthouse. And honestly I don't think that I was actually even missed at all.)

Preparing to leave
The wedding turned out great! All of the hard work that was put into the reception was
worth it. Patrick and Elizabeth spent their honeymoon in Disney.
After the Reception as we were walking to the car Paul asked "Do you want Rita's again?" I'm thinking to myself, Really DO I want Rita's again....
S:"I don't know? DO you want some?
P: Yes I do!
So we enjoyed our Rita's as we drove back to the hotel to drop off some stuff that we forgot to hand over. It ended up working out that Paul's friend Alan (who is a pilot) was off Saturday and Sunday and we ended up spending the night at his house. It was so nice to see him but missed his wife Claire. She was in LA at some event hanging out with Ryan Seacrest. Yeah that would be better than hanging out with us for sure. We have not seen Alan and Claire for over a year.
It was a great weekend and very exhausting at the same time.
CONGRATS PAT-RAT AND ELIZABETH!
