Matt & Dria's Wedding

On Saturday, we went to see Matt and Dria (two of our friends from UE) get married at Crossroads Christian Church. It was a beautiful wedding and they used the same brass quintet we used with special preludes and all - it was really neat. Dria looked absolutely gorgeous.

The reception was at the Auditorium at the Vanderburgh 4-H Center. The Dollar Dance went on forever (I'm sure they got some good cash) - Kenton and I danced with the Bride and Groom which was really fun. A lot of people danced way longer than $1 worth! Matt told me they got the wedding music idea from us, which I thought was pretty cool. One day, maybe I'll be a wedding planner like Jennifer Lopez.

The most impressive part of the evening was their array of wedding cakes! The wedding cake had a bunch of tiers topped with fresh roses, all set-up over a water fountain. Then... after Matt and Dria cut the wedding cake, we found out there were five flavors to choose from: peach, raspberry, white, german chocolate (IU groom's cake), and one more that I can't remember. I had the white, the german chocolate, and about 8 chocolate covered strawberries.


The incredible wedding cake!



No cake smashing involved, but Matt just said Dria wouldn't want to try the chocolate cake his mom made for the reception... "it's not any good"

After the wedding we were going to go to Mesker Amphitheatre to see Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, but it started pouring during the reception. So we stayed and danced on!

They played American Pie and the FIJIs threw BOTH Matt and Dria in the air. It was great to see a bunch of people again - it was like a college reunion!
