Wedding fun

It's been a while since we've been to a wedding

(it may have been Aunt Mandy and Uncle Kurt's!).

Throw in a hotel stay

and we can't imagine much more excitement

than that!

A hotel stay needs some swimming

We got all gussied up

and settled in for the wedding.

To say Aaron was excited

would be an understatement.

Cousin Matt performed the ceremony.

It was amazing.

Mom says she's hoping he'll do one of ours

some day.

They sealed it with a kiss

and we headed to the party!

I had to look the part...

Everyone came in for this!

All the siblings

 Cousin Vince sang

(he's amazing!)

Me and Dad shared some drinks

Aunt Mandy and Uncle Kurt

had a night out

(Coop stayed with his Grandma)

and everyone had some food and fun

There was, of course,

dancing

Even Dad danced!

There was frivolity too...

At the end of the night,

us single men were called to the dance floor

for the traditional throwing of the garter.

We weren't really sure what was going on

but were relived when Cousin Matt caught it

after we learned he'd be the next to get married

Sadly,

like all good things,

it eventually came to an end

or did it...???

Back at the hotel,

my parents decided to continue 

to borrow happiness from tomorrow

and let us stay up in the lobby

for a bit more family time.

We were really excited about that!

We chatted up Aunt Patty

and got to emoji with our cousins

Oliver and Lauren back in California

It was a nice way to unwind

But, for real this time,

all good things must come to an end

and we headed to bed.

At 1am.

Shocking we're still smiling...
