Congratulations to Whitney and Jason, a.k.a. Whizzle and Jeeson!
Matty + Snake ready for the ceremony
Whitney was gorgeous and looked just like a movie star!
We realized during the ceremony that we have been married for 2.6 years!! Here’s our wedding video in case you missed it when it first aired: K + M Get Married.
After the ceremony we had the hardest time hailing a cab!!! It was freezing, raining and windy and no cabs seemed to want to pick us up. My poor frozen feet! But we eventually found one and went to the reception site downtown. We arrived a half hour early, so the gentlemen headed to a bar – conveniently a microbrewery – for a drink.
MY OTHER RECIPES
I was starving and had a sip of the amber ale – it was pretty tasty!
Onward to celebrate!
The reception was gorgeous and began with a beautiful appetizer spread of veggies, pita chips and breadsticks with hummus, olive spread, eggplant dip, cheeses, dried fruits, pistachios.
I piled my plate with veggies + hummus and tastes of breadstick, apricot and cheese
Enjoyed some passed apps
I could have EASILY eaten 5 more plates but I held off because I knew dinner was coming up soon. After a while my hunger did go away. The 20 minute rule is so true!
My beverage of choice was club soda + lime. I’ve learned how easy it is to mindlessly drink at events where alcohol is provided and these days I’m pretty happy with just one – or maybe two – drinks.
At 7 we made our way into the ballroom, which was stunning!
J + W danced their first!
Toasts were given and champagne was passed. It was delicious, so I drank my glass 🙂
My groom was wearing his full wedding ensemble from our own big day
Including the cuff links I gave him!
After the toasts, dinner was served. They had 3 buffet stations of amazing foods. The first was four different pastas, the second bite-sized gourmet treats and the third vegetables, salmon + prime rib.
The staff served us the food, so it was a bit hard to get the right portion. We ended up with plates piled high! There was a lot of sharing and tasting. It made seem like I ate a ton tonight, but I don’t really feel like I did.
I didn’t finish this – like I said we did lots of tasting – but I made a substantial dent!
With dinner I sipped on a bit of red
Dancing consumed a good portion of the evening – the band was fabulous!!!
We finally got a photo with the bride and groom! Whit + Jason are both Davidson classmates. Whizzle lived across the hall from me freshman year and we had such fun doing crazy things. Jeeson ("Jeeson" is Jason pronounced in a long island accent 🙂 ) lived next to Matt sophomore year!
[I had the hardest time taking photos tonight because the room was so dark!! We couldn’t get any to turn out, especially the people. I have a new respect for wedding photographers!]
After a while a plate of raspberry jam cookies was set down in front of us!!
I had two 🙂
And then all of these treats started coming out of the woodwork!!!
I didn’t eat all of these – I had a taste of each and then passed them on to Snake + Matt to each try. So we split them all at least 3 ways. But it was fun to taste so much variety!
Then it was cake time!!!
Cake on the plate. Plus 3 more bite-sized desserts! I didn’t quite finish this all (more sharing!!) but it was delish.
We ended the night with an hour of dancing (they played "I Got A Feelin’!!!") and then a horrid walk back to the hotel in tired heels and horizontal rain.
So excited that 1) I’m sober and 2) I’m not stuffed. It will make for a fun morning!
Goodnight love birds

What a gorgeous wedding!! All of that food looks absolutely delicious! and you are so much stronger than I would have been in terms of restraining yourself from eating tons of the food…I would have failed there…it all looks so good!!
You guys both look great! And that looks like a great wedding. I especially love the centrepieces at each table and the spread of appetizers!
The bride looked so gorgeous! I’m a sucker for weddings right now because mine is coming up in 4 months.. I cry everytime I see a beautiful wedding !
Looks like such a beautiful wedding! And so much yummy food 🙂
I was just commenting to some friends yesterday that it seems I know how to photo food in different lights, but not people. Maybe the healthy living summit could have a small seminar on using your slr camera. I would love that.
The wedding food looks fantastic!! Great food at a wedding is such a nice and important touch I think 🙂
So fun! I love weddings, and that one looks like it had some amazing details. I love the linzer cookies, and her dress is GORGEOUS. Looks like a fun evening!
gorgeous wedding! i love all the little treats and cake, yum!
What kind of cake was that?? Looks AMAZING!!
Cappuccino I think!
Looks like a fun wedding! The food and desserts look amazing as well. Plus, your dress was super cute! Have fun with the rest of your time in NY!
I love the geometric print on your dress…where did you get it?
Weddings are always like college reunions and so much fun. Looks like you had a blast and the bride was gorgeous….especially her veil.
Loehmann’s – where all my clothes are from!
Your dress is gorgeous and your wedding looks like it was amazing! My biggest regret is not having a videographer for my own. I didn’t realize what a blur it would be later! I’m going to have to buy a flipcam when all my friends start getting married to help them out 🙂
LOVELY wedding and venue! God, that view made me miss NY more than anything… so much I could cry.
The bride is beautiful and so is the dress, but long trains are just terrible.
Beautiful Wedding. It looks like you guys had a lot of fun 🙂
That wedding looks amazing!!! My roommate is getting married in the city, and this makes me all the more excited to rock it as MOH!!!!
What a beautiful looking wedding! It is amazing HOW MUCH food they serve at some weddings. You did the right thing by taking small bites, rather then stuffing yourself.
Gosh, I love that long train and veil.
Wow. Looks like a beautiful wedding and a great time!
amazing wedding
i like the wedding cake its simple and marvelous
generally every thing is colorful and full of life
Wow what a gorgeous wedding!! Looks like a fantastic night. 🙂
what a beautiful wedding! All of the food looked yummy!
That venue looks beautiful! And what a delicious assortment of food! Looks like a wonderful and successful trip to NYC. 🙂
WOW – what a beautiful and extravagant wedding! And the food looked *delicious* – unlike most weddings I’ve been to :/
Great photos. I love wedding pics!
Your trip to NYC seemed very fun and eventful. It’s a bummer I couldn’t make it to the meet up.
I live across the river in NJ, but the husband and I are always in the city. Maybe next time! 🙂
Oh wedding cake is so delicious and dangerous! Yum! Good job staying sober and not eating too much.
That cake is beautiful! So classic and elegant!
Where was the reception? I live in the city but cant place it.
