10 years…that is how long Michael and Brenna dated before getting hitched!  

Michael had his “dream wedding” according to Caroline. 

It started with welcome drinks and apps Thursday night. 

Saturday afternoon’s ceremony was a full mass.  

Introducing Michael and Brenna Friedman!

There was time between the ceremony and the reception so some family pictures were in order.

The gardens at Hamilton Farm Golf Club were gorgeous.  It was the most beautiful setting with an open bar, a seafood station of lobster rolls, shrimp, oysters, and muscles, a charcuterie station, as well as passed hor de oeuvres.  It was spacious and watching people spread out enjoying the food, drinks, conversation, and gardens was true perfection. 

We ate more…the most delicious burrata with prosciutto and arugula first course followed by a second course of sea bass or NY strip.  I ordered the sea bass, but also tasted the NY Strip that Avery and Harper ordered as it was huge, and they were full as their first course was a massive plate of chicken tenders and fries.  They literally were served two huge meals!  

We talked…..with family, extended family, and neighbors. 

We had the most fun at the photo booth and since it was located near our table, took a ton of photos. 

We danced!  

While no Biggie Smalls played, Justin and I still pulled out our college dance moves and apparently it was those dance moves of ours that Caroline remembers so vividly about our wedding, which she claims was the most amazing wedding ever!  I don’t disagree!

While we missed the cake cutting (they must have done it quietly so as not to interrupt the dancing), the cake!  The cake was the moistest delicious almond cake with vanilla buttercream and berry center.  It was so delicious that I had a second piece and maybe a little bit of a third.  SO good.

When the wedding was over, a candy truck was waiting outside!  

Such a fun idea!

The bus ride home was rowdier than the way there, but calmer and quieter than I would have expected for a bunch of late twenty-year-old’s. 

The after party continued into well into the morning at the hotel; however, Justin and I opted to stay in our hotel rooms with the girls and get a decent night’s sleep. 

It’s now been a few days since the wedding and I’m still on a high.  It was fabulous, fantastic, fun, family and friend filled…truly perfection in every way!  This is going to be a wedding that warms our hearts for a long time.
