Ana, Marisa, Gabby and Jenna....all dolled up and looking gorgeous!

and others just relaxed....
...and enjoyed an AWESOME candy bar!!
we had a hard time keeping this kid out of all the yumminess!!
we found out he is especially fond of red licorice!!
he was getting sleepy...but not too sleepy for more licorice!
meanwhile...the dancing continued WELL into the night...
India teaching the girls to ROCK ON!
Nana Mary and a very tired little ring bearer...
who eventually PASSED OUT!and his goofy daddy decided to ....well.....
.....um.....
....yeah....ok
then...the late night party portion of the evening continued...in a private den room on the estate....
we hung out and ate pizza and drank in our PJ's....it was so much fun!
....well...MOST OF US hung out....but one guy passed out in bed...
and at some point during the night...he fell OUT of bed, hit the nightstand...and woke up with an unforgettable reminder of the fun he had the night before...
All joking (and black eyes) aside it was a BEAUTIFUL wedding and I know that Ty and Elaine will be happy together for MANY MANY MANY years to come!
