August 25th 2018 was magical!
Honestly it couldn’t have been a more perfect day.
Saturday morning I woke up at 5.30a & shot out of bed! I jumped in the shower, packed my bag & flew over to my mom’s to pick up my sister & niece. Lin wasn’t there so Liv & I had another stop to make & still made it to Alison’s mother-in-laws by 7am. Right on time!
There were bagels & mimosas & even a yogurt parfait station set up! The girls started getting hair & makeup & we were all ready with plenty of time to spare.
I helped Al into her dress once everyone was ready & waiting. Alison cam down the stairs in her dress looking like a princess!
Well, my friends, that was the last moment of calm…after that everything was go go go!
Fun, obviously, but go go go!
The ceremony was beautiful. The limo rides were so much fun, getting to all the destinations for all the pictures Al & Zach wanted went very well. We took pictures all around Buffalo & it sprinkled for about 10 minutes, then nothing…the pictures turned out perfect. Happy hour was the best way to unwind after all the pictures, the entrances went by too fast, the first dance was so cute…then it was time for speeches…I’m not joking, I think I blacked out the entire time. I’m not a public speaker so this was the most nerve rattling thing the entire day, & let me tell you how hard it was to bustle her dress…WAY harder to give this speech!
The worst part was over & I finally had a nice, well deserved in-my opinion, glass of champagne!
The food was delicious, everyone was raving about the food, I got the vegetarian option & wanted seconds!
Definitely recommend the Hotel Lafayette for everything! Especially weddings. The perfect size venue, the perfect size dance floor, the perfect everything…the set up for everything was perfect…the bathrooms were right outside the dance floor, which is crucial & the employees were so competent!
I’m so happy for my cousins & so happy everything went well above expectations!
I don’t think two people could be more perfect for each other. They deserve everything & more. They just got back from their honeymoon in Thailand & I’m so excited to hear all about it at our next girl’s night!
Congratulations Alison & Zach!
That’s all…xxTay!
