Wes and Gina's Rehearsal Dinner

Brady, Jeremy, Woody, WES (the groom), Brian, and Matt. (All in the wedding, all buddies from high school).Brady and I sharing a kodak moment.
Gina and Wes holding up their cake.

I came late (after the dinner and the speeches) due to the Gym Jam banquet but I was able to attend Wes and Gina's rehearsal dinner for about an hour or so. I came in just in time, just as Jamie was taking a picture of all of the groomsmen with the groom, so I rushed in and got that picture as well. I also came just in time for the desserts :)

Our annual Gym Jam banquet was held at one of the family's homes. The kids swam, ate, and had a great time. Chris and Cindy gave me a nice little going away speech along with a nice gift. (As well as laying it on PRETTY THICK that they were not done trying to keep me there and coach with them!!!!) Then we did the individual gymnast participation awards and special awards for the gymnasts. It was a wonderful time and go ending to my stay at Waller's Gym Jam.

Our trip to the East Coast for Brad and Brittney's wedding

So we went ALL THE WAY ACROSS the US to go to Brad and Britt's wedding in New Hampshire. We took the red eye flight out on Thursday night and flew into the Boston airport at around 7:30, we then took a van to New Hampshire where the wedding was at. We got to the Wentworth (the hotel where everything was at) and found out we couldn't check in until around 4ish... so we went with Smock and company to downtown Portsmouth (pronounced Portsmith) ate lunch and shopped a bit. We then headed back to the hotel met Casey, Kris and the kids there, we still couldn't check in so we hung out in there room. Below is a picture of the view from their balcony.
That evening was the rehearsal dinner, for dessert they had fruit and smores.... What do you think? Did Brady enjoy the smores or what?
Brad and Brittney introducing the groomsmen: Smock, JOSH, Brady, Casey, and Jason.
And how sweet is it, that Brad and Britt felt that the guys did not need to wear their suits all night, so they went ahead and bought them Tommy Bahama shirts for after the ceremony to wear during the reception. (Although this bit me in the butt cuz I never got a picture of me and Brady together in his nice new suit all dressed up).Corey, Casey, Kari, Kerrigan, Jerry, and Brady enjoying a picture together after the fabulous dinner.
Corey and Kari doing sparklers on the fourth of july, as did everybody else.

The next morning (the morning of the wedding) the groomsmen and their families and friends took a boat tour around parts of New Hampshire. I will have to say the East coast is absolutely beautiful. Here Brady and I stand at the dock.

Josh.... well.... being Josh

One of the many light houses we saw.
Josh called this "Old Henry's Palace." When in fact it was actually an old prison.




We drove by the US Coast Guard: here is one of their boats.
The rest of the afternoon we did a little more touring of Portsmouth, ate lunch saw some landmarks, like the one below of the North Church, where it is to be said that George Washington once prayed here.

We got back from Portsmouth and got all gussied up and ready for the wedding. The boys clean up rather nicely don't you think?The Wedding Gazebo

With this ring.....

Later that evening at the reception (after Brady had changed into his casual attire).

Who could be any luckier than Josh Fogel right now?
