Last weekend my best friend, Taylor, got married to the love of her life. Taylor and Jeff have been dating since they were sophomores in high school, so we were all super-excited for the day. I was very honored and excited to stand by Taylor on her big day. I have been best friends with Taylor since middle school and have become close friends with Jeff throughout high school and the years after.
The wedding took place at the Lambertville Inn and Station in Lambertville, New Jersey; it was such a beautiful wedding venue.
We kicked the weekend off with the rehearsal on Thursday night at the venue. We ran through the wedding and found out where we were going to stand and everything, then we headed to a restaurant called UVA for dinner and fun. Friday night we went out to dinner in New Hope, which was right down the street from the venue.
Then Saturday was the big day! The girls all got to the hotel around 9:45 to start getting ready. We had the salon we all get our hair done at come to the hotel to do our hair, makeup and glam. They did such a great job, everyone looked beautiful. The rest of the day we continued getting ready and taking some pictures with the photographer.
The ceremony was short but very beautiful and nice; some tears were shed. Taylor and Jeff both looked amazing and so happy.
We took most of our pictures before the ceremony, so we were all able to enjoy the cocktail hour. After that, we all made our entrances doing our own little dances as the DJ announced our names and then welcomed the new Mr. and Mrs. Frese as they made their entrance into the ballroom.
The rest of the night was amazing. Everyone had a great time, was up out of their seats, dancing and enjoying themselves. Taylor and Jeff looked like they were having the best night of their lives and so happy.
I had so much fun celebrating my close friends’ special day and am glad it was such a nice night for them!
