Stock the Bar

Michael and Emily's "Stock the Bar" engagement party was a great time last weekend. I think they received enough alcohol to last quite awhile. I know I'd be happy to help take some of it off their hands! :-) Family and friends from all over attended, and we had a great time celebrating the upcoming wedding.

Soon to be sister-in-laws!


Can't wait for the big day on May 1, 2010!

Suprise, It's Elvis!

The morning after the wedding my mom planned for Elvis to make an appearance and sing Happy 60th Birthday to her friend, Ann. He surprised her as we were eating breakfast that morning. First, the loud music came on the speakers and then Elvis came strolling in! Ann was shocked and wanted to crawl under the table. We got a good laugh!

As you can see from the pictures, this man didn't look exactly like Elvis, and he sure didn't sound like Elvis. Boy was it hilarious!!






I don't understand what people of that generation saw in him!

October Wedding

October weddings are the best (maybe I'm a little biased)!!

On Saturday night we attended the wedding of a long time family friend. He got married in Ohio on the campus of Xavier University. The ceremony was wonderful, and the 80-year priest was quite hilarious!

The new Mr. and Mrs. O'Brien!

Following the ceremony, we celebrated all night long at the reception!


Way too many drinks on our table. Note the lovely place cards using the cork of a wine bottle. Cute! I will say that is alot of bottles of wine though, considering there were 275 guests!


It was cold before the dancing started (I don't generally wear Justin's jacket).

The next wedding will be Michael and Emily's!


Congrats!
