Introducing......

....Mr. and Mrs. Joe Labuda!

Ahhh...the happy couple. Not all of you know Brandi and Joe, but Brandi is a very old friend of mine and is super fun to be around. Also, Joe, a very smart, fun, and perfect match for Brandi. They were married in Florida on 12-16 and had the reception last night. It was the 4th, 5th (?) snowstorm of the past two weeks, and we have about three to six more inches to show for it. Brandi looked lovely in her lacy dress, and Joe was very handsome in his tux. These two look beautiful together.

The wedding, in true Brandi style, labeled the tables by types of dog breeds. We sat at the herding breeds table. The place cards were in the shape/design of a dog house and ceramic dogs were decorating the lodge. Yes, the reception was at a lodge, with fireplaces and wood ceiling beams. It was very beautiful, especially with the fresh snow. The presents were placed on a dog sled, pulled by a blow up scooby-doo. Also, the cake had collars. And in a tribute to Brandi and her eating habits, the wedding cake made a sweet and delicious breakfast this morning.

Here are pictures from this fun event....

Here are Brandi and Joe enjoying Sam singing "The Way You Look Tonight."

Allie and Olivia dancing. Yes, Olivia is wearing snow boots with her dress. Brandi and Sam dancing.I know that the picture is blurry, but this is Brandi dancing with Olivia and Allie. Somehow, the girls go the idea that it would be fun to lift Brandi's dress and crawl under it. It was rather amusing watching the girls chase Brandi around the dance floor, and, as you can see below, Brandi fighting them off of her dress.

Again, the girls trying to get into Brandi's dress.

Brandi and Sam requesting that I come dance with them, which, of course, I did. And they both put their heads on my shoulder. So, once again, congratulations to Brandi and Joe! We wish you all the best and think that you guys make a great couple!
