Amy & Jay’s Wedding

Oh man. I’m so behind. I’m JUST posting photos from Amy and Jay’s wedding in Vancouver. They married on June 11th at an old mansion up on the hill. Jes’ dad was the officiant and the back patio was decorated with the prettiest peonies and hydrangeas.  Amy does wedding flowers so she knew exactly what she wanted. The wedding was held in the morning and the weather cooperated.  There was a chance of rain that day and luckily it stayed overcast in the morning and the sun came out later in the afternoon.

Later that day, we met up with the bridal party at their hotel where they had a private dining room where they all hung out and had some drinks.

Once it was time to head out to the reception, we all piled into the limo bus that drove us a good 20 miles to the Chinese restaurant.  Champagne was flowing all the way there.

Amy did a lot of the set-up herself and made sure even the self-serve candy bar was perfect.

At dinner, we met Jesse’s oldest living relative who is supposedly 100 years old.  I still don’t actually know who she is exactly.

Here’s Jay and Amy having their first dance…very sweet.

They served the usual 10-course dinner but I think I only got through the first 6. The evening started out well until I decided to mix what I was drinking and then it all went downhill from there. Without going into a lot of detail, let’s just say that I spent some time hiding in a bathroom stall and when we had to leave early Jes forked over $50 for cab ride back to the hotel. *sigh* He was NOT happy.

Here’s the last photo taken of the night before I turned into a hot mess.

Here are photos from the wedding and reception.
