wedding weekend

Today was the official “I’m getting too old for this shit” day.

I cannot believe that this weekend came and went as fast as it did. Last week was the big build up to Dani’s wedding on Friday. Wednesday we had the rehearsal dinner which was held at Ciao in Eastchester. It was really great and we had an unbelievable amount of food. Thursday everyone woke up and hit the gym for the last time before the big day.

Friday morning came and the girls headed to Evangelista to get all of our hair done. I loved the way mine came out. I haven’t gotten my hair done for something since prom and I was a little nervous because my hair is not easily tamed. But it lasted pretty much the whole night which is a lot to say because I definitely did my fair share of dancing and sweating. Hair was followed by makeup which was done my an artist from the Laura Mercier counter. Her name was Val and she was great.

After that, our day officially began. The ceremony at the church was great. It felt like it went by quicker than normal. The priest that did the mass was someone that me and Dani worked with at Westchester Country Club. He really made the mass original and his homily was so funny. He used a bunch of Dani’s facebook statuses as points in his homily. It was awesome. Then came pictures at Untermeyer park followed by the reception at the Fountainhead…

I don’t think I have ever danced so much in one night. As soon as they started playing music the bride was out on the dance floor along with everyone else. It was so great to see everyone and I really felt like everyone had a great time. I know I did. After the Fountainhead we headed back to the hotel where everyone was staying. We continued our dance party and when the cops showed up because they got a report of a “riot” outside the hotel, they just joined in. That’s probably one of the top 3 moments of the night.

Saturday was the post wedding BBQ which I slept through half of and Sunday was the Yankee game and Memorial Day bbqs rounded off with a trip to Nugents. Needless to say my Monday was spent mostly in the pool recovering. I told my sister that after that weekend I would be okay with dying on Monday.

Today at work has been a real challenge. It has been a real struggle to get through anything and since I was out half of last week, everything is testing my patience. I need a weekend to recover from my weekend…
