Weekend Wedding in New York

Last Thursday Charlie and I headed to NY for a quick three day weekend to go to a friend's wedding. We were being extreme procrastinators about tickets hoping we would stumble on some amazing deal of $300 roundtrip from San Diego.  Luckily we did only pay a little more then that but we ended up flying out of LAX.  Any who, while we were living in Long Island we had promised our friend Katie that we would go to her wedding no matter where we lived.  Charlie grew up playing with her brother Shawn, and then kind of rekindled their friendship like 3 years ago and we have all become good friends.  We wanted to be there to share the day with them but it was definitely a whirlwind sort of a trip! So quick.

We arrived late on Thursday night and had the wedding Friday afternoon.  It was a nice opportunity to just relax, especially for Charlie who has been working so much.  Kathy took us to lunch at Belagio's and then we just were hanging out and getting ready for the wedding.


Kathy got a kick out of Charlie ironing his clothes, I guess he was telling her no one ever taught him how to do it.  Looks to me he got the hang of it haha.

This guy definitely had a few more gray hairs but was very happy to give us hugs and kisses.


Johnson was not the only one happy to see us..

As usual Danny has so much love for his brother Charlie!


We tried to get cleaned up for the wedding.


The ceremony and reception were held at the Woodbury Country Club.  Originally it was suppose to be partially outside but on that day there were some crazy cold winds so it was changed to all inside.  I was pretty grateful for that because I realized that I didn't even really bring an appropriate jacket to wear to the wedding.  The San Diego sun already had me forgetting that in other parts of the country it is still cold.

The ceremony was beautiful! A little fancier then we were anticipating.  A ton of delicious appetizers at the cocktail hour.  So much so that Charlie asked me if it was the dinner because there was that much food.  

Charlie and I saw a lot of genuine looks of surprise to see us at the wedding!  I didn't realize until we were there but they had actually anticipated for us not to come (i think) so we got a lot of genuine thank you and hugs from everyone.

Congratulations to Katie and Steve Ferrigno!


I didn't get much pictures but luckily there was a Photo Booth for that.  Always so much fun to have these at weddings.




The following day we had no plans.  Just eat more pizza and hang out with the family as much as we could because we had a very early flight out the next morning.  It was actually a great day, almost as much fun as the wedding.

Kathy and Rich bought Hannah a basketball hoop to play and practice on so we spent a lot of time outside Saturday (I watching) setting that up.

But Danny and Johnson were both happy to sit outside with me and just hang out!



Hannah is getting so big its blowing me away.  Pretty sure she's just about as tall as me, if not taller.  Turning into a beautiful young lady!


Oh man was Danny a happy guy on Saturday!  We all took a ride to Grandma Psillos's house and then we all went and got some pizza at Gino's.  It was a great day, no wonder Danny was so content.




Saturday was definitely not as cold as Friday.  The wind had mellowed out a lot but there was still a chill.  Kathy was so funny coming outside in gloves and the hat.  I will say it was perfect hot chocolate/tea weather.


And we even got to see a pretty nice sunset.


Kathy and Hannah had to sneak out for a church event so while Rich was finishing up the hoop Charlie and I were hanging with Danny for a bit inside.  He was having a really hilarious giggle fit so we took some selfies of it..


I really love this picture of Danny below.  


It was a short but very sweet visit.  We were back out our place by 1pm on Sunday and Charlie also had Monday off so it was a good we had the recovery time.   We were really happy to share the celebration with the Ferrignos, Palmers and then have a great day with Charlie's family.

Until next time New York!
