Ahhh….the wedding:)  What we all traveled so far to see! As you may know, I first met Matt and Nicola at Colgate.  Matt was in my freshman seminar, and Nicola and I lived together senior year.  Both were fellow Molecular Biology majors so we all spent alot of time together taking those extra nerdy classes.  They are two of the nicest people I know, and they couldn’t be cuter together.  I was so happy to share the day with them.  It was an AMAZING wedding, and I had an incredible time.  There was laughter, there was tears, but most of all, there was alot of love (and wine).

The happy couple

Two of my favorite people in this world and also members of the bridal party, Richard and Carolyn.  Love this picture.

The wedding favors.  They actually hand stamped the wax on every favor.

All the Colgate kids toasting Matt and Nicola.  Counting the bride and groom there were 17 of us.  Guess who is making the next issue of the Colgate Scene

Cutting the cake.  I was too busy dancing and never got a piece of the “lemon chiffon cake layered with berry compote and lemon curd.”  Oh well.  I did hear it was super tasty.

Dinner was amazing.  We started off with a salad with “sweet gem lettuce, poached pear, gorgonzola and fig pate with a champagne vinaigrette.”  Holy YUM!

The main course.  I ordered the vegetarian option so I’m not entirely sure what it was.  I do know it was tasty and I think there were mushroom ravioli in a carrot pure, spinach and LOTS of cheese.

Dessert was a “vanilla bean creme brulee with honey roasted cashew cookies.”  There was also berries and a white chocolate straw. It just may have been the best creme brulee I’ve ever had.

After the amazing meal, it was off to the dance floor.  There are many many pictures, but lets just say not too many were blog worthy/safe   Below is a pic of Tara, Carolyn, Me, Kyle and Becky and I think it’s a pretty good representation of how the remainder of the evening went.
