It will be hard to top this wedding - Elizabeth & Drew Urbanski!

On a chilly Saturday morning, I woke up and prepared for what was to be one of the most stellar weddings I have ever been to - Drew & Elizabeth's day had finally come. I was ecstatic to say the least - this wedding had definitely been a long time coming! Who could have asked for a better pair of people to join in holy matrimony?

Our first stop was the beautiful St. Vincent's church in Elmont, NY. Of course, in true Holloway style - my crew and I (which also included Kat, Soberman, and Jason) - ran a teensy weensy bit late. We just barely missed Elizabeth walking down the aisle (boooo). As we snuck into the church like the stealthy ninjas we are, we saw a nice row that was calling our names - full of PSK brothers. We were finally home free!

So after the typical Roman Catholic wedding ceremony - full of its stand ups, sit downs, kneel and pray, hug your neighbors, pray agains, lighting the candles, vows, and kiss the brides, the ceremony was over, and as the newlyweds left the church, my crew and I headed to the local liquor store to get the supplies for the perfect reception after party (bud light, some random fruity drink for me, and Jason's terrible bud light lime).

We waved good-bye to Elmont, and headed to the next destination - our check in at the Marriott LaGuardia. Unfortunately I decided to make our trip into an adventure by putting in the wrong address into my GPS. Needless to say, after getting a little lost, driving the wrong direction, and at one point arriving at the wrong hotel - we finally made it to the right hotel for our check in. We speedily changed and freshened up, and made our way to the Douglaston Manner in Queens, NY for the reception.
The night officially started after the first Up All Night Martini was poured. The next question - who was going to be the mess? All I knew was that it wasn't going to be me!

The typical wedding events took place - entry of the wedding party, food, speeches by the father of the bride, father of the groom, best man, maid of honor, cake, etc. We danced, we sang, and of course in honor the happily married couple, we enjoyed some celebratory shots.

Life was good, the food was great (especially Soberman's entire meal since he thought I poisoned it - I got to eat the entire piece of prime rib - woohoo), and the couple looked gorgeous together. New friends were made, old friends were reunited, and of course the parents of the happy couple got a glimpse into just why Elizabeth and Drew love their friends so much.
Overall this wedding made me realize a couple of things about weddings in general - they can be super fun when you are with the right mix of people. With the fantastic crew I had traveling with me, in conjunction with the best bride and groom ever and the PSK brothers and friends that joined us, I had a magnificent time. This wedding gave me so much hope for the future weddings I have coming in the future (Michelle & Rob, Kwit & Steve, Jenna & Mike, Brad & Ashley).

One successful wedding gave me a new lease on the whole marriage thing, and I now know it is something I can handle with good friends in tow and a marriage I can seriously put Vegas-style money on. Congrats you two - you deserved it! To end this posting enjoy below a video of the mess of the night (Soberman) and of the bride getting her groove on!
