I went to Brooke and John's wedding in St. Louis last weekend. The weather was fabulous and so were ALL the festivities!! Phil came in on Friday and came to Noni and Papa Shorts for dinner. It was great how he and Noni discussed recipes and ingredients! : }
Christopher stopped over after dinner to pick Phil up. They had an evening planned to be with all the cousins. Rob stayed with his best friend since 1st grade, Louie.
Rehearsal Dinner on Thursday evening. This is John Zingrich, Brooke's soon to be husband! He was thanking everyone for coming and for all the planning that had been done. Papa was getting ready to say the prayer before dinner.

So the wedding was at 1:00pm and the reception didn't begin until 6. The reception was simply elegant and wonderful. John is a manager at Butler's Pantry Catering Co. and they provided the food and hall.
They had a DJ, open bar, 330 guest showed up, a sit down steak dinner for everyone and a candy bar set up as you left that evening. Fun had by ALL!!! : }
