Love in Grey and Yellow : A little Mingling and A Few Last Details

Aren’t my cousin pretty and handsome?  They are so cool and I’m so glad they get along with Mr. Joey.  We’re all pretty close.

I LOVE these girls!  They came all the way from DC to be here on my big day.  We’ve been through some tough times together and some happy times.

Our beautiful flower girl was pooped after a long day of dancing!

My EMP girls!  I LOVES them too

  Mr. Joey, one of his favorite (former) students and one of our favorite English teachers.

Band Boys looking on.

  Lots of laughing

A few beauties and a few studs :)

He gives this wedding 2 thumbs up!

These are some of my favorite pictures from the wedding.  I love seeing everyone having a great time.  It makes all the work worth it!

A few last details before the afternoon was over.

We had a great time but we were happy to be done, get some rest, let our hair down and head down under!

Love in Grey and Yellow : I Said There Were Kids

There wasn’t just a few kids at out wedding, their were A LOT of kids at our wedding.  And with a lot of kids come A LOT of really disgustingly cute kid pictures.  There are so many pictures that the kids deserved their own post. 

OK, get ready to want kids!

Mrs. Gummy Bear’s coloring page was a hit!

  We are going to have some heartbreakers in my family…soon!

Too cute right?

Some needed more than something to color to keep them entertained.

We had a few babies too!

 

See?  SOOO cute!!!

Love in Grey and Yellow : Dancing, Dancing, Dancing Machines

Even though we didn’t have a full on dance ‘til you drop reception, we did have dancing and we did have some dancing machines.  

  

See?  Dancing machines.  Look at Mr. Joey doing the robot.  I didn’t even know he could. :) And my friend Dani braking it down?  Hot Mama!

Speaking of Mamas, my Mama was looking on with her best friend Chris. 

 

Love is in the air!

At all ages!

Love in Grey and Yellow : Shakin’ Our Money Makers

I know that this is controversial, but we had a money dance.  We were on the fence about it for a while but then everyone started asking us if we were going to do it.  I don’t mean just my family where the money dance is tradition, I mean Mr. Joey’s family and our friends.  When I realized that Mr. Joey’s family had done the money dance before, I was OK with us doing it because I knew we wouldn’t have to explain it to people.

I have to say, the money dance was actually one of the funnest things we did.  I didn’t think Mr. Joey would enjoy it, but he did.  And we were both surprised by the people who came forward to dance with us.

 

For some reason, the men really like to dance with Mr. Joey and the women like to dance with me.  A little odd?

  This is what your high school teachers did on the weekend

  The weird thing about the money dance is that I thought we’d make maybe $100 during the dance.  In reality, we made A LOT more than that.  We used some of the money on our honeymoon and some on something really special I’ll tell you about later.  And yes, someone pinned a Subway card on Mr. Joey.

Anyone else going to do the money dance?

Love in Grey and Yellow : So Don’t Just Stand There, Bust A Move

I loved seeing the cast of Glee do Young MC’s Bust A Move. 

Anyway, before I got distracted by Glee, I was talking about busting a move.  With who?  Papa Joey.

Instead of doing the traditional slow dance with my Dad, we decided to do the twist and Mr. Joey and MIL Joey joined us. 

OK Dad, break IT down!

Seriously, look at him dancing!

Papa Joey wasn’t the only person getting down!  Mr. Joey’s had a few moves saved up.

Oh, it’s so hot in here!

The Ring Boy and Flower Girl wanted in on the action

Mama Joey and FIL Joey also got into the act.

Are you doing anything special for the Father/Daughter – Mother/Son dance?
