Wedding at The Ballroom at the Ben!

Shew!!  Where do I start with this fabulous wedding?  Basically it was all about the “Sauce” (aka The Groom’s Father).  I was told by many people that Sauce was a “blog stalker”.  I thought to myself….. “Oh, so, he’s the one?”.  😉  Anyway, it just wouldn’t be right to not mention him here… since he will probably be the first to see this post!

This photo is for you, Sauce.  Thanks for being a fan!

Okay, okay…. so, this wedding was really all about ERICA & ANTHONY!!!  These two are absolutely fantastic!  They are fun, laid back, energetic beautiful and cool all at the same time.  Below I am going to list just some of the things that made them and their wedding day so awesome:

– the bride described the wedding day as “My big fat Italian wedding”…. and didn’t disappoint

– the huge and very fun wedding party (I think I could say something about a taser gun here…. but won’t)

– the giant party bus that included drinks and mini soft pretzels (my favorite!!)

– they stopped at their local watering hole, McGillicuddy’s, after the ceremony for a shot of liquor

–  their wedding party was announced wearing costumes (including a man in an overweight nude woman suit!), holding signs, throwing candy canes, playing with noise makers, creating dance moves…. and the list goes on!

– there was an impromptu karaoke singing of “Love Shack” by the B52’s

– multiple people were picked up and put on shoulders on the dance floor

– nearly all 300 guests got up to dance

– Anthony & Erica are completely in love and know how to have fun… they also have great families and friends

This list most definitely could go on and on….. It was simply a fabulous wedding!  Danette  Pascarella (whose wonderful talent is also featured in the photos below) & I had a great time photographing this wedding.  It was the kind of wedding that when we left we just kept saying, “Man….I love this job!”.

Thanks, Erica & Anthony!  Many congrats and best wishes to you both!
