Everyone was full and tired by the time we got back to the hotel. After a siesta, we rallied again in Sandra and Phil’s room. Some of the group were determined to hit the hot tub, but were only able to enjoy it for about 10 minutes. Afterwards, we spent the rest of the evening in the bar reminiscing. Grace and Ana (understandably) needed a little more time to recover, but eventually both of them rallied, too. A great and very special wedding!

I had the distinct honor of being Bobby’s best man. With this came some responsibilities. Bachelor party – check. Slideshow – check. Getting Bobby to the ceremony on time – check. It wasn’t until my toast was delivered that I could finally relax and enjoy the occasion. I managed to slip in a Long Duck Dong reference and no one threw anything at me – check.

I should mention that all of the food was spectacular and that it was great celebrating the couple with many old friends. I should also mention that due to my duties, Grace manned the camera during the ceremony and reception and did an exceptional job taking pictures.

The wedding was held at the Rockleigh Country Club. Ana really wanted an ourdoor wedding, and for mid-November in Northern New Jersey, that’s a tall order. It turned out to be the most glorious day – even a bit warm. Under sunny skies and surrounded by family and friends, Ana and Bobby were married. Ana was a very beautiful bride and Bobby had the biggest smile all day long. Grace and I are so happy for them.

Ana and Bobby’s rehearsal dinner was in Fort Lee. It was nice to see Bobby’s parents after so many years – they looked so happy. It was also nice to see and meet Ana’s family and the rest of the bridal party. Afterwards, several of us, including other friends who showed up, stayed for some karaoke. Surprisingly, it was Grace who threw down the gauntlet and required everyone to sing. Grace ended the evening with guns blazing and I went with my new go-to, “9 to 5.” 98%!
