East Coast Trip 2012 - Photo Diary 3

Gosh I love weddings. Celebration of love, friendship and public declarations of forever...food, drinks and dancing. What's not to love? This morning we headed out to Long Island for the wedding and quite frankly (despite my planning) were running a little late. It seemed that everyone was on the roads Memorial Day weekend, headed toward the water. Thank goodness for pre-ceremony cocktail hour!

@nerdygay @seanheslin congratulations!
This guy just married the love of his life.

The reception took place in the most beautiful glass ceiling room.

The stormy weather had cleared just in time for the wedding and luckily, (mostly) stayed that way for the rest of our visit.

The day after the wedding, we drove back out from Brooklyn to Long Island to meet up with some of my college peeps for brunch. Per Lauren's suggestion, we headed to Bruce's where I ordered the rightfully famous corn flake french toast. egads. I might try to recreate it!

Afterwards, Sergio and I drove around and explored. It's amazing how lush and green it is in Long Island. Fort Totten turned out to be one of our favorite discoveries.
