January 30th 2010 my sweet cousin Megan married her lifelong sweetheart Matthew Kohan. The rehearsal dinner was a Vegas themed party complete with a pit boss. Matt proposed in Vegas so they brought a bit of it to Dade City. Food was fantastic. Best mac n cheese I've had in a while! Michael was a sweetie pie to the max and took the boys back to the hotel so I could enjoy it boy free. Ashley had a stack of chips to be proud of and come raffle ticket time almost everyone at our table won a bottle of wine. It was great fun! Thanks to Matt's family for having us.
Shiny shoes: Dylan Michael got to be the ring bearer (or ring master as he calls himself) and of course got the tux and shoes to go with. He LOOOOOVED his shoes. He wore them at rehearsal, in the hotel room, to dinner, day of the wedding and all that night. He also was pretty fly in his tap number. :D
The wedding was beautiful. The Abbey itself is full of stained glass and exposed beam ceilings. The bridesmaids all wore black beaded dresses and carried red roses. Matt looked great (and super happy) in his tux. Megan. Oh, my God! Megan was breathtaking. She completely looked like a fairy tale princess in her strapless beaded gown. I wish both Megan and Matt as much happiness as anyone can pack into a shared lifetime! Love you both!!
We didn't get to stay all that long at the reception. Lucas was laying on my arm while I was trying to eat. He was up later than he's used to and I didn't want baby chaos to ruin the beautiful evening. The chicken cordon bleu and scalloped potatoes were very yum! The entire ceiling of the part of the country club we were in had red and black swirls all over if. It looked really cool and they had chocolate covered apples as favors.
The wedding was a great time and it was nice to see all the family that we only seem to see on special occasions. The best part of the entire trip was getting to sit with Megan and Ashley while they got their nails done and talking. We NEVER get to do that and it was really nice. We are thinking about a Cousin's Retreat sometime next year so we can all get together and catch up. Lots to look forward to. :)
