Thursday morning after getting everyone as settled as possible, I headed out to make the 6 hour trek to Virginia to see Matt after 10 days and partake in the wedding festivities. I made it to the Hoppenjans' house in Chesapeake, Virginia around 6 in the evening and met all of Amy's family and reunited with Matt. After pizza we met the Rossello family for some drinks (Matt and I just pretend we are part of their fam!).

The hotel we stayed in the following 2 nights was in Portsmouth, which is an adorable town and perfect for the wedding guests to go out and enjoy the weekend together. On Friday Matt and I went into Norfolk and shopped ( I forgot my shoes!) and had lunch. Most of all it was nice to just spend some quality time together. The guys headed to the rehearsal and I hung out with the non wedding party crew before heading over to the rehearsal dinner. We were staying in Portsmouth but the festivities were in Norfolk, a short ferry trip, which made it extra fun!

The reception was gorgeous! Floor to ceiling windows overlooking the water and so beautifully decorated! Rossello even brewed his own beer for the party, which was such a hit.

The wonderful couple!!! Mr & Mrs Rossello:) |
Matt's toast was a hit. He was anxious to give it and purposefully didn't share it with me (which turned outto be a good move). He did a fantastic job!

Matt has some amazing friends and it was so fun to spend the weekend with them and celebrate Matt and Amy!
You and Matt look gorgeous. Glad you got some quality time together!
ReplyDeleteAmazing post! Wedding weekends and vacations are the best. I remember attending my cousin’s wedding in one of the Chicago event venues. It was a long vacation for my family. After the wedding, we explored the city and had a good time. Before the wedding, we enjoyed the party and meeting people after a very long time.
