Kelly & Ross in Milford

Two weekends ago my Aussie friend, Kelly, got married in hands down one of THE best wedding weekends I've ever been to. I say Aussie friend, b/c that's where Kelly, Crissy, Heather and I met, but we are all from the US (or Canada for Heather B.). Anyways, Kell's folks live in Milford, CT and the entire wedding festivities were held in their and their neighbors backyards. It was amazing! The ceremony was in this cute little garden nook with beautiful flowers
The reception was held one yard over and they had a huge tent set up for the dinning and dancing. Let me tell you there was certainly some dancing going on!
The farthest yard over at Hotchkiss point was where the Friday night BBQ throwdown was held.

Oh and rehearsal luncheon was on the water at the Milford Yacht Club


It's always so amazing with the 4 of us reunite and get to spend time together but this was truly magical and it was so special that Kelly included us in her wedding as fairy flower girls no less! Everything was coordinated beautifully (thanks to Kelly's Momma) and the weather was perfect. Low humidity, mid 80's and the ran held off till Sunday morning.

Highlights of the weekend, dancing to the rock band Friday night and Kevin, Kelly's brother got to rock out with the band. I was dancing so hard it didn't dawn on me to take a video until after his kickass solo. The video clip doesn't do justice to how awesome Kevin played, but I thought I'd include it anyways..


On the way to the ceremony site we had to drive around the block. Kell was in the back of the jag her parents in the front. Kelly looked beautiful and was waving to all the neighbors as they came outside to wish her good luck. It was the cutest thing.


Quite possibly my favorite (and most magical moment...if you haven't noticed with us things are always magical) moment was during the ceremony. It was pretty breezy and Kelly's veil was blowing around only slightly attacking her. Another breeze came through and Kelly's veil blew straight up into the air and then flew off. It floated way up over the shed and over the trees into several yards over. All the guests first gasped then laughed and ooh'd and Ahh'd. See magic!
Up up up and away!
