First of all, it was not the official wedding, that happened a while back. But this was the celebration of their marriage. It took the form of a short ceremony followed by the reception. The ceremony was performed beautifully, Sara and Michael repeated their vows in front of all their family and friends before taking to the floor for the first dance.
The event took place at reBar, which is in the Dumbo district of Brooklyn (Down Under The Manhattan Bridge Overpass). It was only fifteen minutes walk from our hotel, so despite Alison's high heels, we set off in the warm early evening sun. Approaching our destination, we wondered if we were in the right place, the locality is somewhat effected by the deafening noise of the traffic going over the bridge. But the venue is great, no wonder Michael and Sara chose it. It had been closed to the public and accommodated the eighty or so guests easily.

It was great to meet Sara's family, these are her two aunts, grandmother and mother. They were all so friendly.
And this is father Rich with my family.
The food was great. Not only the buffet, but all the nibbles brought round by the waiters. But the real memorable part was the desert, little pots of something scrumptious, particularly the vanilla one. There was also a free bar. Looking back, I now realise that the glasses of wine were huge.
There was lots of dancing, Alison and I took to the floor when we heard "Arthur's Theme" (If you get caught between the moon and New York City etc). But I had to leave her with Michael for Meat Loaf.
It was a jolly good party in a great venue. We all took home little boxes of chocolate, but Michael, where was the cake?
