Wedding Weekend

Boyfriend and I had a great time on our weekend trip back to Ohio. We just moved out of Ohio about 3 weeks ago, but two of our very good friends were getting married!!! So we flew back to Ohio to be there for them. We got into Cleveland around midnight, Friday night and stayed with some friends Boyfriend met through his old teaching job. They truly rocked. They picked us up from the airport, gave us an extremely cozy bed for the night and they went all out the next morning to make a delicious breakfast for us. They also lent us a car to use for the remainder of the weekend. What more could you ask for? They were terrific and we appreciate everything they did for us!

Our host and hostess for the night!

Saturday was the big day! The groom was the first friend Boyfriend made when he moved to Akron and they have become very good friends. They also met through Boyfiend's old teaching job. The bride has also become a good friend of ours. I got to know her better while running in the park training to run a half marathon together. They are great together! The wedding was in a church in Fairlawn and the reception was at the Fairlawn Country Club. Everything was beautiful and elegant. Oh, and the best part was the sweet photo booth they rented! I will be having one of these at my wedding... someday. The guests could go in the photo booth as often as they wanted and keep their pictures, so it doubled at the wedding favors. Also, the bride and groom will get a CD of all the pictures taken in the end to serve as their souvenir for the night. We finished our short weekend trip with lunch at Rockne's on Sunday before heading back where we got to meet up with another work friend (who is also getting married in Ohio in a couple weeks). Unfortunately, his fiance (another awesome girl) couldn't make it.

You may now kiss the bride!

Was it worth it to pay a ridiculous amount of money to fly back for 2 days? YES!!! We had a great time with the newlyweds the Imagine School crew and the Mingo Junction crew!

Can we afford to do it again in a couple of weeks? Not so sure right now. Keep your fingers crossed that the price of tickets comes down.
