...and then I found $5.

Saturday marked the last wedding of 2012 for us. A lot of traveling and money spent, but was well worth it to help some of our closest friends and family celebrate.

The last wedding was in NJ for my neighbor, Andrea. None of the parents have moved from our road so everyone remains great friends. It’s pretty awesome, actually. We share a ton of memories together, so it was really nice to get together once again in celebration.

Here are a few pictures taken from the wedding and the reception, which was held at The Newark Club in Newark, NJ—the 22nd floor overlooking New York.

A closer-up, higher-detail photo of my DIY updo. For all who were interested, I followed Kate’s awesome tutorial at The Small Things Blog! I absolutely loved the way it turned out. Next time I do it, I have a few things I’d change (like leaving curly pieces down around the front) but overall I think it was awesome.

Father/daughter dance was so sweet.

A combined 110 years of marriage. Our road knows how to do it right! (Not even including the bride’s parents!)

A mish mosh of outside lights and inside lights.
