Our First Friday Wedding

This weekend we went to our first Friday wedding in Sterling Heights, Michigan.  It was quite a drive (4.5 hours) but we had an excellent time.  Plus because it was on Friday, we still had our whole weekend ahead of us when we got home.  

It was a beautiful wedding at a gorgeous country club.  You could tell the families of the bride and groom loved to spend time together and loved to party.  And that's what we did. 

 Beautiful cake! It was also very tasty.

 There were peacock feathers in the centerpieces.  Loved it!

 They sat our table full of Theta Chis (and their wives) right by the dance floor (behind the middle school table)(right where we belonged). Isn't that dance floor area amazing?

 Can you guess which guy we referred to as Hot Damn all night?

I included this picture because you can see the bridesmaids in their dresses.  I've never really seen a bridesmaid dress like this.  It's the teal dresses on the left in case you couldn't tell and thought 3 people showed up in the same exact dress. :) It was really cute and really flattering.  Two of the bridesmaids were pregnant and they all looked fantastic.

 As a group, we spent a lot of time watching the people on the dance floor and I was reminded, yet again, that white people can't dance.  Except for these ladies in the purple jackets.  They could cut a rug!

 Grant, Jeremy and Andrew...

 Morgan, Ashley, Diane and Leah...

 Andrew accidentally took this picture.  I wonder what he was focusing on. :)

 Here are the fellas with the bride.  She looked lovely.

 The obligatory Theta Chi picture.

 The ladies with the groom

 I believe it was a christian based ceremony so I'm not really sure why they did the chair lift tradition.  But hey, why not?

 Just don't drop them!

 Ashley and Andrew did some major fist pumping as seen on Jersey Shore.

 But I'm not really sure what they are doing in this next picture.

 Trying to grasp the laser pointer stars from the DJ?

Maybe.

 The Cherry Creek was quite the place.

 Here we are waiting on our shuttle at the end of the night.

 I'll let you fill in the caption for this picture. :)

This one too.  Sheesh, long night, eh?

Great wedding! Congrats to the Drainvilles! Beautiful night for a beautiful couple!
