Nicole and Patrick is another couple that I didn't meet before the wedding. I finally got the chance when we did the engagement portrait shoot in the spring. We had a great time right off the bat.
Before we went out they invited me into the house they are restoring to have a glass of great wine and showed me the work they are doing their selves. Patrick is quite the carpenter and the work is as impeccable as their tastes. The house is a very beautiful and classic brick home on Western ave in Aspinwall.
Their wedding was at one of my favorite places, Morning Glory Inn in the Pittsburgh South Side. The owners, Nancy and Dave, are great friends of Marty and I and it always is a pleasure to see them again. They are the perfectionists as hosts and always please their clients in one of the most cozy romantic places in Pittsburgh.
Nicole and Patrick told me before the wedding that the crowd was going to be a little loud and crazy and they where especially the girls. I guess they where Rugby players in school and they where a riot to watch and hear.
After a very stylish, and emotional ceremony, the guests where treated to the great food and drink offered at the Morning Glory.
One thing I really enjoyed was the "Boat Race", the girls where talking about this all day and I didn't know what they where talking about. I soon found out. It was a drinking contest where 2 lines where formed. You chug 2 glasses of beer, put the glasses on your head and relay back to your teammates. The girls where proud of their undefeated history and they won again against the guys. You can see in the pictures the girls where already in the lead. I went home stinking of beer that night!
We really enjoyed the time we have spent with Nicole and Patrick and they have told us they may be the first to take us up on a Honeymoon cruise on Carpe Vita this fall.
Thanks Nicole and Patrick!
