One of my favorite memories with them was Valentines Day 2009. The theta chi guys that lived in Morning Wood (each house had a name in college that everybody referred to it as) decided to cook dinner for all their girlfriends. I think there were 4 couples and the guys made bruschetta, pasta carbonara and had 14 bottles of wine. Yes, 14 bottles of wine for 8 people. This was college. John, Sara, Matt and I ended up staying up very late consuming all of the wine once the rest of the couples left.
Anyway, we flew to Charlotte on a 6am flight through O'hare. Matt had the rehearsal shortly after we landed so I hung out at the hotel and took my time getting ready for the rehearsal dinner. We met the whole group at the Carolina Ale House for drinks beforehand. Dinner was at Bentleys on 27 which was on the 27th floor of one of the skyscrapers downtown. It was so nice that everything was within a few blocks of the hotel. It was a beautiful view of the city!
The next day Matt had some groomsmen events so I met up with my uncle who lives in Charlotte. We got a late lunch and then I headed back to the hotel to get ready for the wedding. Matt had to be there before the guests so I met his friends in the hotel bar and had a quick whiskey shot (can you tell it was the first college wedding of our group of friends...) and took a cab to the venue. The ceremony was outside at the venue and was done by Sara's little brother. He recently got ordained and he did an amazing job! Best ceremony ever! It was so sweet to have a family member be part of it.
Dinner was delicious! Can't turn down some fillet! The rest of the night was full of dancing and followed by a Irish bar and late night pita pit.
It was such a fun wedding!! But I need to remember I'm not in college anymore... Three days later I'm still feeling tired and a bit hungover. Is that possible?!
Next months wedding is my brother in NYC!
