More from Milwaukee

The beautiful cake- it was white cake with a raspberry layer and a cream cheese layer. Fitting with the dairy theme, the cream cheese layer was incredible. K for Kinsfogel...
The wedding, reception, rehersal, rehearsal dinner, all events were pretty much within walking distance in downtown Milwaukee. We hadn't gotten a car, we took a couple cabs, but mostly we were walking wherever we went. One of my favorite ways to vacation!
The MAC- Milwaukee Athletic Club. The reception was here in a huge ballroom.
I didn't bring a lens with a zoom, so this turned out pretty blurry. The room had huge crystal chandelliers and a white ornate ceiling with pink and green hues.
The top of the room had these pretty iron faux balconies from the windows above. If you went up to the 4th floor, you could actually look down into the room from these windows. The photographer actually went up there and took some pictures of everyone dancing.
After a lot of dancing!
Such a fun party! It's always funny to see what songs really get the crowd going and up on the dance floor. The funniest song to me was actually a New Kids on the Block song... haha, when was the last time you heard one of those?! The even funnier thing, was that the bride and one of her friends are going to the concert in Portland when they come there. It was cute to see them totally rocking out to NKOTB. Of course, those of us girls of a certain age were then prompted to share stories of our favorite NKOTB member from 'back in the day'. Hilarious.

The group went out to a couple different places after the wedding. We made it to the first one for about a half-hour, and then we called it a night around 12:30am. We had an 8:00am flight back to San Diego, which was way too long and cramped, so we didn't want to be too miserable on it. All in all, it was a fantastic weekend.
