Patty and Noah Get Married

The weekend after Jenny and Tommy’s wedding our friends Patty and Noah got married back in Michigan. This time both dave and I were standing up in the wedding. (As a result I have very few photos of the big event.) Patty and I have been friends for over ten years. As I said in my matron of honor speech, we met through our ex boyfriends but we ditched them and kept each other.

Patty and Noah’s event was very different then Jenny and Tommy’s. They got married in a church and had the reception in a nearby banquet hall. There were a lot of people standing up in their wedding including seven bridesmaids, six groomsmen, two junior bridesmaids, a flower girl and a ring bearer. In order to transport all of these people between the church, all the different photo stops and the reception hall Patty and Noah rented a huge bus with leather seats and a dance pole in the back. We had a blast on the bus drinking cocktails, chatting with the bridal party and having an overall great time. Unlike other weddings we were able to spend quite a bit of time with the bride and groom without the distractions of the other guests. We were having such a good time nobody noticed when we were over an hour late getting to the reception hall.

Patty and Noah rented a cabin near the Smokey Mountains for their honeymoon the week after the wedding. I spent the week at their house watching their two dogs, Yager and Otis. dave spent the week at his folk’s place building them a new shed.

My sister and Tommy’s Michigan reception was the weekend after Patty and Noah’s wedding. Once that was done it wrapped up the month of September and the wedding marathon was now officially over!
