our wedding diaries {the guys getting ready!}
thank you all so much for all of the wedding diary love already- wow.
i really appreciated all of your sweet comments
they made my day!!
in case you missed last week’s post – the gals getting ready
…this week i am sharing the guys getting ready…
they went to a clean shave place in charlotte that morning called emerson joseph
where mr. monaco and his brother got shaves and the rest of them drank beer and played pool
they also took a small stroll around the city and stopped where we first met – at vida cantina
we had a large wedding party
each selected carefully and with love
{ten on each side}
four of the groomsmen were from my side – i absolutely loved having my brother, brother-in-law, and two guy friends {who are like brothers to me} next to me that day.
and three of the bridesmaids were from his side.
my brother and brother-in-law with the groom
i love my dad- so much.
the monacos have a strong history with baseball.
so we ordered our nephew tyler, the ring bearer, a bat with his name, title for the day, and the date
the guys looking at the watch i bought him
i had it engraved on the back with a quote from our first dance and the date
‘and i thought i loved you then.’ june 29, 2013

What a cool place for all of them to go before the wedding! I can not figure out what the guys should do prior to coming to the venue, I wish Baltimore had something like this!
