The wedding of the century

We have been calling my friends wedding an extravaganza. That was before I actually went to it. I was basing my prejudices on the shower, things I had heard about the reception hall, the amount of bridesmaids, and stuff like that. Is there anything bigger than an extravaganza? Because that's what we should have been calling it. It was amazing! For starters it was in historic Philadelphia. The cocktail hour had every type of food you could imagine. Then they let us into the room. It was unreal. We were in the center of a 10 story building with windows as a roof so you could see the sky at the top. There was a water fountain and personalized lighting. There were flowers everywhere, a chocolate fountain, and a Phillies ice sculpture. The food and the dancing never stopped. Even on our way out the parting gifts were cheesesteaks and philly pretzels. Everything was way beyond anything I could imagine for a wedding. For how classy it was though, it did not feel stuffy because the families were very welcoming. Thank goodness I listened to my mom and did my hair. The only thing that would have made it better was if I had a date. I can't summarize the evening in one picture so here are 2. One is the venue view looking straight up. The other is the happy bride and groom.
