-THE TROGES-: Wallick Wedding Weekend!!!

I will give a warning now that this blog post is LONG, but there were so many pics/stories to choose from it was hard to narrow down!!

This past weekend a friend of ours from Boston got married,these are the weekend activities...

Boston BBQ/Washers-

The guys got in some washers while firing up the bbq. Our friend Dan came over as well since he knows most of the Boston crew.

Paul (who flew in from Scotland) and Ashley

Rachel, Jill, me (cheering on the washers until we were too cold)

Dance Practice-

Word was that the reception was going to be all swing dancing...which none of us can do...so we decided to create our own dance (I will tell you now the dance sadly never made it to the floor at the wedding)

but alas...the practice goes on!

Jill and I are also practicing in case New Kids on the Block "Right Stuff" somehow gets fired up at the reception.

Sox Ticket Purchase- Rachel is somehow the luckiest person when it comes to the Red Sox lottery...she had to jump online to buy tix for her next set she got in on. Her and Jill are just chillin' in my office.

Rehersal Dinner-

Dan's parents sang a song to kick off the night

Then our Boston Boys gave some toasts- this is Sam Montgomery (the one who introduced Sam and I)

And Dan Card... And finally Kevin...who was working on his toast at Old Chicago with us during lunch, however I didn't hear many of our suggestions in the actual toast??!!

Bachelor Party Night Out-

Prior to heading out the guys handed over a little gift to Dan...

we spend a LOT of time hanging out in our hotel rooms

Ashley, Sam, Paully getting ready for the night out!

And then the boys return from their night out and decide it is a good time to try on their tuxes for the wedding. Yes folks...they are CREAM colored tuxes!! So they call us (across the hall) to come check them out. Sam's pants are TIGHT while Kevin has a good extra foot of material at the bottom of his, Paul's actually fit quite well and then you look at the jacket...

Paul's jacket/vest were so large that Rachel could fit in them WITH him! I guess that is what you get for doing your own measurements in your flat with your teeth and a measuring tape!

We think this may be Paul's first album cover

Sam LOVES his tux...don't let him fool you! Meanwhile the gals had just rolled out of bed!

The Wedding-

The day didn't start off so well for many of us...

1. Paul gets a bloody nose in the cream colored tux!

2. The gals have the, get ready as fast as you can because we were decorating tables at the reception up until 45 minutes before the wedding, issue.

3. And Kevin popped not one but TWO buttons off of his coat that broke so they could not be re-attached thus that would be a safety pin holding his tux closed as he walked down the isle!

But the wedding went well and Dan and Danita are now officially husband and wife!

Off to the reception-

Ashley taking care of my "duty" of bringing the whhhhhhhheat to the reception. (Not sure we'll ever get all of the wheat out of our car!)

Heading Out-

The guys obviously hit the car during the reception

The view was awesome!

One last goodbye from Sam...the rest cannot be shown on the blog!

Garden of the Gods-

We are pretty sure we are the first to ever take this photo!

PAULLLLY!!!

We had a BLAST all hanging out together again. The night of the wedding our friends Brooks and Andy had us all over for some food, drinks, and games so it was a good end to a weekend together!
