tuesday
well we did it! the wedding was amazing. it literally felt like a dream. the pink carpet was beautiful. after the ceremony shaun and michelle had to walk down the carpet again to do press interviews. it got tiring answering the same questions over 10 times! (note to people back home....don't ask us about our trip. haha just kidding)
after the ceremony/press our guests (25 in all) went back to the london hotel for food and drinks provided by sony.
about 2 hours later they bussed us all to the metropolitan club for the afterparty/reception. we did some traditional weddings things (cutting cake, first dance) and then patrick dempsey and michelle monaghan presented us with watches. the rest of the night we just celebrated with our friends and about a few couple hundred well to do new yorkers and celebs.
looking back, we are soooo happy we did this; sony went above and beyond the call of duty for making this feel like a real wedding. and the best part is, we get to do it again in august! i wonder if mr. golightly will put on the same production that sony did?
(wedding pictures won't be posted today.....as soon as we get some, we'll post them.)

sunday night
brit/sarah/michelle/kasi (sister) and tj
shaun's mom/shaun/golightys
tonight we had our rehearsal. it is insane what they are doing on the street for this premiere. since it's going to be a downpour tomorrow, they have tents up everywhere. they told us that they had 60 people working on this wedding (just the planning), so that made us feel pretty important! we are just so thankful to God for giving us this amazing opportunity.
then we out for dinner with some of shaun's family that came. his mom, sister, and her husband came from hanover and then his dad and cousins came as well.
well i guess that's it.......until tomorrow!

after a relaxing day, we are heading to the rehearsal tonight. the premiere will be held right next to our hotel. they are already starting to set up and blocking off the street.
shaun's family is coming in tonight too.
saturday
today michelle and shaun met with their photographer, denis reggie. he has done wedding photography for john kennedy jr., arnold schwarzenegger, and the likes. once again, we cannot believe this is happening!
after meeting with the photographer, cameras were off and we were free for the day! it was so nice to not be followed and enjoy new york without anyone around but us......that is until the golightly's came!
they came in on the train around 3 and we headed to the tux place to get the big guy fitted. that was an amusing experience.
in the evening, shaun/michelle/sarah/brit went to a broadway show, A Catered Affair. we were given the tickets by sony and then had photo ops backstage after the show.
