The reason we made the roadtrip- my cousin Bridget's wedding to Pat Smith! It was a fabulous affair! They know how to throw a party up North!
The colors were yellow and blue- lots of sunflowers and hydrangea- so pretty!
Mr and Mrs SmithThe groom and groomsmen all wore yellow Brooks Brothers pants, Navy blazers and shamrock ties from Vineyard Vines.
"You may now kiss the bride!"
There was a break in between the wedding and the reception. We went back to the hotel to hang out with the kids. My aunt arranged for a friend of my cousin's to bbsit the kids so Clay and I could have the night out. It was so nice!
Me and my brother, Ryan. We missed Julia, Shannon and Cory!
The Butt Family. Yes, my mom's maiden name is Butt. This pic is of her siblings, spouses, kids and their spouses.
Clay and I with the bride and groom
Mom and her siblings- Kevin, mom, Maureen, John, Eileen and Tricia
Cousins! I am the oldest (32) and the youngest is 18.
We arrived at the country club at 6 and there was a cocktail hour and half. The weather cooperated miraculously b/c Hurricane Dan was supposed to dump a lot of rain. This is the lobster and shrimp bar during the cocktail hour. There was also a sushi bar, pasta station and waiters walking around with leg of lamb, soft shell crab sandwhiches, hamburgers, chicken skewers, bacon wrapped scallops and other yummy things. We had to pace ourselves b/c we still had dinner to come!
The cake!
About 7:30 we were called into the ballroom for dinner. We had a caprice salad waiting at our seat and this menu. Each table had its own waiter for the night and we placed our order for the main entree- fish, chicken or beef.

My cousins Mike, Chris and Patrick with Clay and Ryan
This was the dance floor BEFORE dinner was served!! After each course, the band played and we danced for 30 minutes. Then we ate again! It was awesome!
There was a photo booth for guests to take pics- here is my fave of us!

Clay and I loved celebrating with Bridget and Pat and all of our family. I am so thankful to have these wonderful people in my life and to be able to introduce them to Jack and Madeline. While it was an effort to roadtrip with two little ones, we are so glad we did it. We are blessed to have so many people to love and that love us!
