While studying my NASM materials the past two days, I have been seriously distracted by something shiny.
It’s just so sparkly!
Ok, onwards with some wedding specifics.
The wedding festivities started last Wednesday after work when I zipped across town to pick up Rob so we could catch our flight to New York.
No rings yet. Yes, my hand is mini next to Rob. In all fairness, he is 6’5”.
When we arrived just after 1 am, we were greeted with dinner and champagne my parents had set out for us. It was exactly what we needed and was a cute way to start off the weekend.
Thursday morning had everyone in my family running various errands. Rob and I had our last pre-cana session, picked up the wedding wine, got our marriage license (woot!), and visited with Rob’s family who had just arrived off their 4 am wake up call from Minnesota.
After dropping Rob at the hotel, where he stayed the next three nights, my mom, sisters, and I headed off for mani/pedis. It was a blast to have some girly time with my family!
Me, Jackie, Mom, Kate, Margot
We rushed home after our nails dried to change and head to Bertucci’s, an Italian restaurant right next to the hotel where all the out of town guests were staying.
Rob and I treated everyone to some pizza and pasta comfort food after their long days of travel. It was great way for everyone to meet for the first time, casual and relaxed before the more formal events.
Rob and I welcoming everyone to the wedding weekend.
Once the feast was over, and the carafes of wine were empty, Rob headed off with his family to the hotel and I headed off with mine. Back at my parents’ house, Margot practiced taking all of our blood pressures. She is a month in to her NYU nursing program and was thrilled to have so many willing victims, I mean patients, to practice on.

Awe. I love the ring and the fact that you got to hang out with your mom and sisters 🙂
I am in love with my ring. It’s so weird to wear though.
I can NOT wait to hear about your wedding!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you!!!
I love that your family left you the champagne and note about letting the party begin – that is the kind of parent I want to be as my boys get older!
Sounds like y’all had a super start o the weekend – can’t wait for the next installation!!!
It was so sweet of them! The dinner they left in the fridge for us was quite tasty as well.
What a sweet gesture to leave you a little gift about letting the party begin! Love it! 🙂
This is totally off topic, but your recent pics of you with your sisters is making me wish desperately that I had sisters or that I could have my sisters-in-law all in one place. Hm. Maybe a getaway?
Getting everyone together is always so much fun. It usually only happens for my sisters and I twice a year. You should absolutely organize something. It’s such a good time!
