Even more fun when we realized a distinguished looking gentleman was driving it....even more fun when he turned around to reveal his priest collar! What a day we had ahead of us.
The Cathedral in Peoria was the location of an incredible wedding on the perfect AUgust day.
The ceremony was amazing and the priest was awesome. He gave a very heartfelt homily.
Mr and Mrs. Glomp!!!!!!!!!
We wait outside for the new couple to be announced. Look at my cute dress I borrowed from my girlfriend, Lisa! Thanks Lisa- big hit! We even found a tie for Bri to coordinate.
The Glomps escape on their horse drawn carriage.
The reception was at the Paradice Casino in Peoria. After some rest time and then hanging out in the rooms with friends, we headed to the boat to see what it was all about. We even ran into Brian's barber, Barber Bruce, from Monticello on the boat!Here are some of the girls before we head into the reception.
The cocktail hour was wonderful and Lena was so excited to be with her friends.
Too cute!
You were a stunning bride, Lena!
The room was draped in white with light green accents.
After the speeches and the dinner things got crazy fast. Sam is known for his "cherry bombs" Cherry bombs are marachino cherries that have been soaked in Everclear. So- the bride and groom were kind enough to make one for each table at the wedding to share. Our two tables are usually roudy and have some history with these "cherry bombs". Here, Dr. Kruse is given the honor of adminstering the bombs to the bride and groom.
Todd, Bill, and Brian actually get in a picture without their wives asking them to take one of a girls group!
Lena is Lebonese so the night was filled with Lebonese dancing and traditions too!
My BF Alicia and I catch up- Love her!
Lots of dancing
and picture taking-thanks husbands for doing such a great job!
Last song of the night- Themesong from Cheers with a big circle of friends.
Love you, Baby!
As the group gathered to discuss what to do next, we broke out into song to sing Happy Birthday to our dear friend, Mira!
Happy Birthday, Mira- we all love you!
It was an incredible night! Lena and Sam are so in love and so head over heals for each other! It was great to be part of this day for them!
