The Wedding Party: Part 4
There was no way we were going to cut a wedding cake and smash it into each other’s face, so Andy and I opted for cupcakes from our favorite bakery, Sweet Temptations. Half of them were lemon cake, and half were almond – all were as delicious as they were pretty. A cupcake is a joy to behold.
The evening was winding down, and soon we were left with the Cornell Crew sitting around the dining room and reminiscing. Almost all of us were married now, and most had children too, but somehow we were the same group of kids whom I dragged (some might say tricked) into seeing Evita a decade and a half ago.

The night was gone in a blur, as most people say of their wedding, but the emotional impact was greater than either of us anticipated. As quickly as it went by, it burned a memory into our hearts, and the love and good-will that was all around us coalesced into something more.
The next morning we held a post-wedding party brunch for those who had traveled to be with us, and after having a scrumptious spread of goodies (including some insanely decadent cookies that Suzie brought from Brooklyn, as well as my first cupcake), we gathered for a few final photos.
It was the perfect ending to a summer of wedding festivities. Now I can relax and enjoy the rest of the season by the pool with my husband. Until our next adventure…
