We spent the day helping Mia set up for the reception and getting hair and makeup done. It was so nice hanging our with Mia on her wedding day. The ceremony was outside at Carrol Park in Brooklyn. It got started late because the bus full of people from Manhattan carrying all of Alex's family got stuck in traffic and Mia's Dad got stuck on the subway because several trains stopped. He called Mia from a pay phone (didn't know they still had those) because he didn't have any cell reception to tell her he was late, but she couldn't hear him and didn't even know who was calling. In the end it all worked out because half of the people weren't there on time. Of course we were at the reception site down the street so we just kept relaxing and getting ready. The ceremony was very nice. Bobby (Alex's uncle) officiated and did a wonderful job. After the ceremony we marched over to the reception with a New Orleans style band and stopped lots of traffic. People were coming out of their houses trying to figure out what was going on. It was so cool. Alex's Mom's side of the family is from New Orleans so it was their tribute to her roots.
Mia's dress was beautiful!!!! This picture does not do it justice.
