Lindsay and Matt are a little crazy, a little goofy, total hams and so much fun. Once the formal ceremony at St. Michael’s in Cohoes was over, that was it. Lindsay spent the rest of the day either laughing, dancing or singing to Matt. And even though Matt broke his ankle a few days before the wedding, he didn’t let that stop him. He danced, he skipped (yes, skipped) and he begged for a ride on a scooter - they wouldn’t stop though.
The photo shoot with Sharon & Kristen from Captured Moments by Sharon Mahar was a blast. The bridal party was totally into it and Lindsay and Matt hardly needed any direction - they were even coming up with their own poses. The reception took place at the Franklin Plaza where the colors for the day were black and pink. Lindsay incorporated them into all the printed materials - invitations, programs, seating chart, menus, placecards, card box - you name it - and, she designed them all herself (it helps that she’s a graphic designer).
The DJs were Matt and Pat from Original Sounds by S&S. They had a great set up, and lit up the dance floor for us - not only with their awesome lighting system, but with the music they played. Lindsay dedicated a song to her parents who celebrated their 40th anniversary earlier in the year, her nephews tore it up to “Boom Boom Pow” (I can’t listen to that song anymore without thinking of the two of them) and Matt, with his ankle, was even doing a one footed dance to “Footloose”. And, to top it all off, Lindsay’s brother and cousin started sandwiching unsuspecting people on the dance floor to “What Is Love” a la “Night at the Roxbury”. I took my eyes off of them for a second and they even got me!
What a great party! I can’t wait to see everyone again at Jaclyn’s wedding (Lindsay’s sister) in October. Owwwww!
Here is the highlight video from their June 2009 wedding. Feel free to leave comments for the happy couple. Enjoy!
