Dave left my house at about 7:30 to do pictures with the groomsmen. I met him at the church at 9:30 - where I did my duty of handing out programs with Lisa. The ceremony was really nice, and I read my passages without any issues (yey!) The reception location was gorgeous. I took pictures with the family during the cocktail hour and ate really yummy food.
Michelle's husband is from Germany, so there were relatives there from Germany. I "hooked up" Martine, a 20 year old from Germany with Dave's cousin. Dave saw Martine dancing alone, and told me to go dance with him - he said "he wants to go back to Germany and say that a hot American girl danced with him." I should also add the Martine was absolutely gorgeous, haha. So, I went up to him and said hi and danced. I told him there were girls there his age, and he got all excited, and after we danced, I introduced him to Ginny. The two of them then danced together for the rest of the wedding, and it was so cute!
After the wedding, I went to the after party at Dave's cousin's house. I was getting a bit tired by that point, but stayed while Dave smoked a cigar with the guys and we all just hung out a bit more. I left my shoes in the car by this point since I got two terrible blisters, even though my shoes are flat and I've worn them many times before. They are also well made shoes, not from a cheap store or anything, so I was really annoyed that they hurt that badly! Yikes.

She had a really nice wedding day - the weather was beautiful, the ceremony was nice, the reception location was gorgeous, and there were about 175 people there. Fun day!!
As I was walking from the church to my car, someone stopped me on the street and told me how much they loved my dress which made me feel good - I don't always love wearing black to weddings, but I do like this dress. It's the dress I bought this day for the Surflight reunion gala. At the reception, a lot of people asked Dave and I "when were we going to be next".....

you and dave both have such attractive families, i couldn't help thinking how wonderful everyone looked in every single picture!
Also, I don't remember which entry, but there was one pre-wedding where Michelle had on a white dress that I just looooved! Although, I'm a sucker for silky/satiny fabrics. ;) And suede.. and cashmere.. and yea, just basically anything that feels really good under the hand. But, I just really liked the look of the dress.
