Sallie's wedding

My best friend/college roommate got married October 1st and Ty and I were blessed to be a part of her big day! Sallie moved to New York after college and has worked there for the past 11 years. She now teaches the visually impaired in the Bronx but actually lives in Connecticut where the wedding took place. She and her fiance (now husband Clark) are super involved at the church in Stamford where they go so the wedding was outside on the church grounds and was absolutely gorgeous!

Ty and I got into town late Thursday night after a three hour delay at the airport and stayed with Sal. Friday our other girlfriends from Harding and I took Sallie out for a bridesmaid luncheon with her family after manis/pedis at her favorite salon. It was so wonderful to see her family again! She brought me home with her at least 10 times in college and I LOVE her parents and brothers :) After the luncheon, we helped Sallie frost the 250 cupcakes she had made the day before for the wedding! She's our resident Martha Stewart and they were delicious! The rehearsal was that evening and dinner afterwards. I was the matron of honor and gave a rambling speech but the gist of it was that I wish Sallie and Clark all of the happiness in the world! I definitely teared up...I love my Sallie-gal :)

Sal and me...this was the cutest little town ever in Connecticut! It's where Sallie and Clark's new house is :)

On the day of the wedding, there was a 70% chance of rain, but the skies were clear and beautiful! They had a very symbolic, beautiful ceremony and a super fun reception afterwards :) After all of the festivities, Sal had requested that we all go apple picking with she and Clark at their favorite orchard--she even wore her gown and got some great pictures! I have to say that New England is just gorgeous and we loved the apple festival!

We took advantage of being close to NYC and Sunday spent the day in the city with our Harding friends. I can't say enough how much my friends mean to both Ty and me. He and the boys get along so well that you would think he went to school with us, too. I soaked up all of the quality time I could get with the gang and enjoyed just hanging out in Central Park! Ty and the boys also took advantage of the fact that there was a Yankees play-off game and went to that. My friend Randi and I found a great restaurant on the upper east side and just enjoyed a rainy New York day...so very magical.

Monday, Ty and I visited his college up at Kings Point and then flew home. It was a wonderful trip for sure!
