I met Artie in the 7th grade at Brier Terrace Middle School. From the beginning of our friendship, I knew without any doubt that he would be in my life forever. Artie is one of the kindest, most loyal, genuine people that I have ever met. His smile will light up a room and you can always count on him to cheer you up with one of his hugs.
The wedding was a BTMS/Brier Elementary reunion of sorts - it was such a blast for the group to get back together in one room and dance the night away. It makes me feel old to think that many of these people I have known for more than half of my life.....but it's a great feeling to have been able to watch my classmates/friends grow up into adulthood.
The ceremony was SO touching - both Artie and Stacy wrote their own vows. A lot of thought went into it and the personal touches were beautiful. The reception was full of throwback jams, which was hilarious and appropriate considering I have known the groom since these songs were popular. Everyone had so much fun and I really didn't want to leave!
Congrats, Artie and Stacy! Happy Honey-mooning!
The happy couple! (Snagged this one from Facebook).

The bartender was having some trouble with the kegs, so after a few minutes of waiting and watching the drink line get longer and longer, Greg hopped behind the bar to help get things moving :)

My mom was awesome and came up to watch Ben for the evening. She brought with her new books and homemade cookies. To show his appreciation, Ben was a snuggling "delight". I'm not sure where this new behavior has come from (out of the blue!) but I will TAKE IT. Here he is giving me a snuggle before we left.
And side note: The man is ALL ABOUT his binky these days.
