We had a fabulous several days back in Michigan at the end of August. We were coming home for the weekend to go to my cousin, Melissa's wedding, but extended the trip a little bit to do a little planning for our own wedding and hang out with more friends and family. We got in Wednesday afternoon and spend the evening hanging out with the parents and little brother and relaxing. Thursday we started some wedding planning by meeting with the caterer to go over potential food selections. It went really well and she was able to come up with an amazing menu of different food stations as well as hor'dourves for a cocktail hour between the ceremony and the receptions. It all made me so excited!! After that we all headed over to the theater again so Ryan could see it and we could get a few more ideas. The caterer came with us too and Aunt Elaine met us out there as well. We all walked around the place throwing out fun ideas as we went along!
Thursday night we had the Dougherty side of the family over for a little dinner party and Kristen's family all stopped by as well. It was so good to see everyone and let everyone meet Ryan finally!
Friday we spent most of the day with Jordan and Kristen doing a little engagement photo shoot for them. It was so much fun and the pic turned out really great! My lovely fiancee is such a great photographer! We started out downtown Rochester at Knapps with some milkshakes, then headed out to the park for a little more naturey pics. Later in the afternoon we went out to Yates Cider Mill...mostly to get some cider and donuts, but took a few more pics there! What a fun day!
Lots more pictures here!
By Friday night Jason was in town, and Dipti came over as well, so we all headed over to Buffalo Wild Wings for a little drinky drink and some hot wings!
Saturday was the big wedding day! We wedding was supposed to be on the waterfront in downtown detroit, but it ended up being a little bit of a rainy day so it was moved into a little tent next to the Omni. It still ended up being an awesome wedding and a great party. Melissa looked amazing!! It was great to see all the Raetz Family too while we were home!
Great times were had by all! After a relaxing rest of the weekend in Michigan, I was off again, this time to DC!
