Mr. & Mrs. Colella

This past weekend was Al and Steve's wedding weekend! It was so much fun and I wish we could do it again this weekend! Friday morning (9 am - yeah the country club changed it on them at the last minute - they were not pleased!) we rehearsed! Alyson said we could dress casually since we wouldn't be going to dinner for 8 hours after...haha...

So we arrived bright and early ready to practice (this was my second entrance, Kay did not have her camera ready so we did a do-over, my first entrance was not this enthused!)

Al and some of her bridesmaids

Lined up and ready to practice

That night we went to the rehearsal dinner, we ate and drank well and enjoyed everyone's company.

Looks like a staged conversation but it totally isn't!

The 'A' Team: Alyson, Annette and Amy

The Bride and Groom-to-be!!!!!

Saturday morning we got together at the hotel bright and early again for hair and makeup and a day of getting ready and having fun with the girls. Al's Matron of Honor Lindsay even brought "matching muffins", in the colors of the wedding. Cuteness.

Ta-da....the stunning bride!!!!

Trying to sneak a kiss from my date...he wasn't having it....

But later in the night I totally scored....

The rest of the pictures are kind of out of order, they are basically stolen from other people's cameras and facebooks. I didn't bring my camera because it is literally a family and bridal party full of photographers and I didn't want to be "will you take one with mine too" girl. So sorry for the mish mash of pictures...these are some of my faves and you get the idea.

Amy, another sweet bridesmaid, doing one of my favorite poses of the night...

Girls have too much fun posing with bouquets...

The M.O.B. - if you know Kay at all you know this is the perfect picture of her! ; )

All 10 bridesmaids

RINGS!!!

F.O.B., Brian and Al's oldest brother Rick

Really way too much fun...

Matron of Honor and the Bride

The Cake

Lookin' studly! One of the bridesmaids joked that he looked like he was in the secret service, tux + sunglasses + at the time the way he was standing totally looked like it - hilarious, but also kinda hot!

The first dance...

The maid of honor, Rachel, gave the most incredible speech...brought many, including me, to tears!

The next day we went to Al's parents for a taco bar brunch and going away party for the bride and groom. They left Sunday night for Colorado, to live, for keeps. Its totally surreal that Al is not down the street ready to meet me for coffee or a movie, or more accurately as of late ice teas at the park while Scott plays. I know its just a short flight away and that Al especially will be home often....but they are missed here!
Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Colella - we couldn't be happier for the two of you!!!
