Cal and Erin Tie the Knot

My little brother is now married to his beautiful bride Erin. The rehearsal dinner was at Bocca di Beppo's where we over-indulged in delicious Italian food. Mike and I headed from there to the Hilton with Uncle Joe and the boys and finally make it to a champagne evening with the girls. The next morning, we dusted off our dancing shoes for the wedding day! The nerves were in full effect that day and both Cal and Erin were ready for the ceremony to begin. After an afternoon of anticipation, the wedding began at an art gallery filled with gorgeous glass art. The art was put to shame when the bride walked out and I wasn't sure if Cal was going to make it. He was a bit speechless, but Cousin 'Rockin Reverend Ryan' (as Dad called him) helped him through his lines. The bride and groom could not have looked happier. The reception was great fun and got a little out of control when Dad and Mikey broke it down and the ladies were flashing gang signs. The next day, we reminisced about our 'favorite parts of the wedding' at Mike's favorite hole in the wall 'Tip Top'. Congrats to Cal and Erin!
