It's finally time for me to post some of the awesome pictures I took at the party last weekend!

To give you a little bit of a backgrownd informations about what the party was for, I will start by saying that Eric has been working on this for almost a year! He had this idea about getting all his friends, from different parts of his life, together in one place, to celebrate the fact they were all turning 50. The event was splitted in two evenings.

The first one was at Victor's, this awesome pub that ages ago was a church... The place is awesome and the food is super good! We had dinner there and then Tom, Dick and Howie played their guitars for the rest of the evening. Tom is the guy who married Eric and I, and Howard and David (Dick) are two of Eric's closest friends, thet met in Tampa in the 80es when Howard invited Eric to spend some time with he and his flatmates down there. Eric quit his job and started a new chapter of his life there and they became very close friends! Their playlist was 95% Grateful Dead and 5% Hits from the 80es! They were amazing! They haven't played together for a while since Tom (the Rev) lives in North Carolina and Howard and David are here in Pennsylvania but they live quite far from eachother...

It wasn't easy to take pictures in that space unfortunately so I don't have a lot of good shoots about that evening:( Pics from the First Evening )

The second evening was at the Studio, this big space Eric rented from 3 pm to midnight. 5 bands were playing that evening! All of them are Eric's friends and most of them didin't knew each other... the evening was such a success. At some point the band mixed up, and they all played together and created great music! That was fantastic!

It was so much fun! And Eric (and all his friends) had the time of his life! He worked so hard on this project and I couldn't be happier about the result! He's going to remember this evening forever!!!

Good Old Britney Spears used to sing “I'm not a girl, not yet a woman” these days for me are over now that I am married. I am officially a grown up. I have been welcomed to the Real World... So far it's pretty similar to my LaLa Land World though... I wonder...

Eric and I got married a month ago in St Simons Island, Georgia and we spent the Honeymoon on the Island, playing home in a nice apartment close by everything that matters (Beach and Starbucks).


We had a very small ceremony, the party was composed of: The Groom, The Bride, The Good Reverend, The Brother and the Sister-in-Law of the Groom (Witnesses), The Photographer (as essential as the Reverend) and 200 uninvited kids. Yep... 200 kids crashed our wedding... Well – if you want me to be honest – it was the Wedding Party that crashed their Summer School Camp.

We decided to get married in Neptune Park, a public park, on a tuesday morning, thinking that we would only meet the random dog walkers... but as soon as the Bride stepped out of the Nuptial Jeep, the Groom received a Phone Call from the Photographer: “Ahem... I know it's none of my business, but... did you guys invite a flock of screaming kids?”

The Groom had a moment of panic and the letters W.T.F. Appeared in his thoughts. Poor guy... Not the best day of his life so far... not only did he have to wear a suit on a friggin' hot day, he also had to tell the bride that the park, which SHE chose as location for HER wedding, was experiencing a major invasion.

Can you imagine his surprise when she shrugged her shoulders and started walking into the park like 'no big deal'? I am still surprised... and I was the bride.

You know how things at weddings (and when you have to take a flight) always get super complicated and tend to go totally wrong? Well... let me tell you a secret from the hight of my marital status: you should always opt for a very small wedding... Because, when your wedding throw you a curve ball (and it will) you will have no reason to freak out...

Enough with the wisdom now.

We had a beautiful wedding under the shadow of a majestic tree in the most beautiful park ever. The words the reverend used to describe the adventure Eric and I are embarking upon were wise and enlightening. We exchanged our own vows and everyone was moved by our words... Even the reverend who started getting all choked up toward the end of my vows, that made us all to burst into laughter.

It was a memorable day, how it should always be. A very good place from which to start our life together as husband and wife.
