The Wedding: The day before

Saturday morning I was supposed to go to the gym again with Matt but I was just way too tired to leave at 7am. Matt came back from the gym and got me up and left to go pick up our friend Sedge. Once Sedge got here we packed up and got into the car. Matt has a Garmin and we were on our way! We accidentally got on the turnpike but I think it ended up for the better. It was a fun trip up. We listened to good music, laughed and it definitely didn't feel like a two hour drive. We left at about 9:30 and got there just before 11:30.

We met Adam and Nicole at the wedding location, Stroudsmoor Country Inn, before we headed out for lunch. The Stroudsmoor Country Inn is beautiful and was rated number 3 for wedding locations in Pennsylvania. Definitely very pretty! Matt parked and Nicole was already walking up the hill so of course I jumped out of it to run and hug her. Not sure if the car was even stopped...oh well! After seeing Nicole we walked down to see Phil and Adam. It was awesome! Just like old times. Hannah and her mom were also there and it was great getting to know them better.

Nicole had arranged us for to eat at a Thai Restaurant. It was bit pricier then I expected but it was very good. It was just us though...no one else in the restaurant. They did mess up splitting the checks so I owe Matt for lunch

Then we checked out the Bridal Suite where we would hang out a lot. Quite large, Quite nice though I do not agree with the placement of the bathroom. There was a step going into the landing where their suite (pronounced su-weet no su-t, sorry pet peeve people don't know how to properly pronounce that word and call the hotel rooms men's work clothing ALL the time!) is and Nicole didn't see it and tripped and fell. When we were leaving I proceeded to try and help Hannah by warning her about to watch her step but instead of saying "watch your step" I said "no step" which stuck the rest of the weekend.

Another tv???

Supposed to be peach

Ended up working okay

Nicole and Hannah being silly

We had the rehearsal dinner at a place called Willow Tree Inn. It was a few miles from the wedding spot which worked great. There was 20 of us all together and the food was great. The service was a little slow even for a party of 20 but it was a lot of fun. The coolest part? It was fully decorated for Halloween!

 After the reception the boys went to go gambling. We expected them to be gone until 3am but they came back at about 1am. Matt had one $195, Adam had lost the money the guys gave him, Phil lost all but .5 cents, Sedge didnt play and I think Jim one $10 dollars. Something like that. While the guys gambled, Nicole, Hannah and I chatted in her room to keep her company. SO much fun and just what we needed. Adam dropped the boys minus Sedge off at their hotel and drove Sedge to us. Sedge was our roommate for the weekend and Sedge was put in charge of Bills Garmin to get us girls to our hotel.

Sunday was the wedding so that post will have to come tomorrow :)
