Tom and Liz's Wedding, AKA DU Reunion 2012

Warning! Another kid-free post (part of our kid-free weekend). Those of you who visit only to see adorable pictures of TJ and Jojo will walk away disappointed today. :)

Sunday of Memorial Day weekend, we headed out to the St. Charles area for Tom and Liz's wedding. Tom was in Ed's fraternity, and there were probably 15-20 DU guys at the wedding. Add in the rest of us Northwestern grads and we probably numbered close to 30. It was great to catch up with so many people, and the wedding was gorgeous and filled with fun and themed dancing (a specialty of Tom's). 

It was also interesting how much everyone seemed to have changed. Not looks, so much, but many people are married, and many have kids. These guys, who I fondly remember doing Century Clubs and kegstands, now brag about their little daughters and sons. So cute! And there were 10 pregnant women at the wedding as well, ranging from ready to give birth on the dance floor to about 4 months along, so more kids are clearly on the way for this group! 

The happy couple

This picture is blurry but I wanted to include it because you can just see the fun these two have performing on the dance floor. Tom and Dustin also did a version of their famed Dance Marathon routine from 1999 (I think?). Lots of fun dancing! 

 You'll see this dress again--it's my spring/summer 2012 wedding dress!

Me and Nicole. She, Derek and their son Ben are visiting from Germany for 8 weeks. We're looking forward to seeing the at Pearl Lake in a few weeks!

 Me and Kelly. She's one of the pregnant ladies!

 Ed, his freshman year roommate, Sanjay, and Sanjay's girlfriend. 

 Ed and Derek boogying.

 Dustin dancing. He also gave a great best man speech. He's very good at that, and likely for hire if anyone is looking for a stellar best man.

Did I say earlier how much things had changed? Well, maybe not everything. There was a photo booth at the wedding for the guests to use. I'm thinking the rest is self-explanatory. We may all be in our 30s, but we're still kids at heart. And no need to identify the pants droppers here. It could be anyone.

Here's a short video. This little move is something Ed and Tom always did at fraternity and sorority formals in college. Good thing I brought a wrap to the wedding so they could continue the tradition!
