Congratulations to the bride and groom! My cousin Jamie and his bride tied the knot yesterday in a beautiful ceremony overlooking the ocean. We all had a blast, and below are my top 10 notable events from the wedding:
10. Various guests brushing off their best dance moves and entering “the circle” to entertain us all.
Mike busts a move
9. Juan, the overzealous bartender who got his mixer/alcohol ratios mixed up all night long.
8. The food, which would have sent us all into food comas if it weren’t for Juan’s drink mixing skills.
My brother and I enjoying a delicious meal
7. Some of us guests hijacking the band’s equipment and playing our own rendition (I was probably playing in the wrong key)
Move over, wedding singer, there's a new band in town!
6. Instinctively catching the bouquet and upon realizing it, immediately chucking it as far away as possible (better talk to my therapist about that one).
Not too thrilled to have caught the bouquet
5. The ability to take a breather in a hammock and try to recover from Juan’s drinks.

4. The after-party, which took place at the pool (no pictures allowed- some events should not be made public!)
3. Monkeys make an appearance just before the ceremony, and a howler monkey decides to test his lung capacity during the ceremony.
Even the monkeys want to see this glorious occasion!
2. 42 people travelling from afar to be a part of this monumental occasion.

Gorgeous bride!
