Ron & Melissa's Wedding

Nick and I headed to Long Island this past weekend for my cousin Ron's wedding. My cousin Ron and I were born the same year, along with my cousin Amber, and as kids I think Ron and I were together a lot (Amber is in FL so we didn't get to see her). My Dad and brother Ronnie (Ron's Dad) also worked together for years.

First off- Nicholas was pretty unhappy driving down to NY (he didn't stay asleep) and I crawled in the back with him which helped. He wouldn't sleep in the pack and play and I ended up putting him in bed with us and he instantly fell asleep and was very happy. He did better the next night, but the night of the wedding my Mom watched him and he went to sleep no problem, but when we got home he was up and ready to party. All. Night. Long. It was rough. Nick is lucky I can still survive on little to no sleep, which I've been doing for about 4 days now :)

Anyway- back to the good stuff! The wedding was at Lombardi's on the Sound in Port Jefferson and the place was beautiful. Melissa looked beautiful and Ron looked so happy. The ceremony was short and sweet with great music- Journey if I recall correctly and that "I Believe in a Thing Called Love" song that cracked us all up. It was my first time meeting Melissa and she was very sweet and very happy. It was just really nice to see.

The food was amazing, too many things to list, and the cake was also delicious (I'm usually not a fan of cake).

My Dad wasn't feeling great so he wasn't going to go to the wedding, but I convinced him to go if only for a little while, to see family that had traveled a bit and I knew would be let down if they didn't get to see him. Well, he had a GREAT time as you'll see in pictures:
