Congratulations Tony and Lizzie

A few weeks ago we celebrated the marriage of our friend Tony to his bride, Lizzie. Tony was the best man at our wedding, and it was an honor to be included in his nuptials.

Dave and Tony have been friends since grade school. Actually, it's a long-standing joke between the two of them recalling when Tony beat Dave out for the role of George Washington in the second grade play. Dave was left to play some founding father whom no one can remember.

This wedding had the largest wedding party I've ever seen! 12 groomsmen, 12 bridesmaids, 3 junior groomsmen, 3 junior bridesmaids, 1 man of honor, 2 flower girls, 2 ring bearers, and a few other people in the processional that I really didn't recognize. Tony has a large Italian family and everyone was in on the fun. Lizzie is from Mexico and the wedding ceremony included several of her traditions that I'd never seen before.


Jack was, once again, an angel baby at this wedding. He slept through the entire hour and a half mass! He woke up just in time for the recessional and a few pictures with Dad before going to spend the night with his grandparents. Jack didn't quite know what to think about his Dad's friend Johnny.

The wedding reception was a fun affair. After a very nice cocktail hour, we had an extensive dinner with several courses. When Dave and I left at midnight, the mariachi band was about to kick off and play. It certainly wasn't slowing down!












Tony and Lizzie live outside of Washington, DC. They are planning a honeymoon next year, and we wish them the very best in their new life together.
