The wedding started at 6:15pm and was at Phipps Conservatory. There were only 42 people, so it was quite small. It was SO hot in the greenhouse were the ceremony was taking place, I thought I was going to die but thank goodness they had ice cold water so I drank and drank while waiting for the wedding to start. The ceremony was over in less than ten minutes, and Sara's sister married them. However, I couldn't even believe it was so quick. One of our friends dropped his girlfriend off and then parked the car, and when he got there, the ceremony was over. He was shocked, but we were all so happy to be on our way to the much-cooler reception. I was starving too.
The reception was at LeMont, which is a beautiful restaurant overlooking all of Pittsburgh. Sara is a HUGE Steelers fan, so the fact that Heinz Field can be seen so clearly right across the river, I'm sure it was a major selling point for her. The appitizers were SO good, but the dinner food, not so much. I got the Chicken Marsala, which I love and it was terrible. It could have been my taste buds and the fact that I was ready to vomit at any point, but other than that, I managed to keep it down, however, I only ate a few bites. I didn't have any wedding cake because I couldn't even stomach the thought of that. The favors were take home, home-made cookies (a PA tradition, apparently), which I thought was awesome. We danced and everyone drank but me. My back was killing me all night long and I was so tired. Still in shock and not feeling to good, was not a good combination but I tried to make the best of it.
Finally we got back to our hotel and I took a shower and went to bed. We had to go to a brunch at Sara's Mom's house at 11:30am, which was pretty good. Everyone kept asking about us and the babies, and it was nice to see everyone again. Everyone was just so shocked that we are expecting triplets!
After the five hour drive home, we were beat. I slept so good last night, only to wake up to a miserable day. The puking has officially started and let me tell you, it is NOT fun. I can't seem to keep anything down but ginger-ale right now. I am hoping for a good night's rest but who knows.
Anyway, onto some photos of the weekend. Enjoy!
