Kathryn's A PEACH!

Hi!

Yesterday I had the privilege of being present for one of my best friend's biggest days!  My boy, Dave got hitched to the lovely lovely lovely Kathryn.    Normally, now would be the time for me to insert some line questioning how on earth a friend of mine pulled off convincing someone amazing like  Kathryn to marry him...  Well, try as I may, it's just impossible here.  Dave is simply THE MAN, and he has never tried to be the man a day in his life.  That's what makes him so great.  I'm guessing there are 20 guys that would call him their best friend.  Although he is a monster in size, his heart is just as big.  Nothing the guy wouldn't do for you.  I/we are all blessed to have him as a friend.  It's clear as day why a woman would want to spend their life with him.  That said, I hear he doesn't do dishes!! Good luck Kathryn!

Kathryn, you are so pretty and last night was no exception.  I thought the big guy was going to faint when you were coming down the isle!  I know I almost did!  You looked wonderful.  Also, your dance moves are a game changer.  Just incredible!  I am so lucky to have met you a few years back, and I have cherished getting to know you.

As for the festivities, the food was great.  I ate my meal and the one in front of the seat next to me!  No big deal.  Also, the dance floor was on fire!  At times I thought the floor was going to cave in.  Women only rejected me about half a dozen times.  I'll chalk that up as a win.  Usually, that number is much higher!  So much fun.


All in all, what an incredible night!   Getting the opportunity to catch up with some old friends was something else!  It really served as a reminder as to how lucky I have been over the years to cross paths with some wonderful folks. Peach and Mollomo Families!  Joey Romano etc!! what a group!

Kathryn, you have always been a peach, but now it's official!  Congrats to Mr. and Mrs. Dave Peach!!

MORE WEDDING BELLS FROM BEANTOWN!


Hello All,

It has been a while.  I'm in the middle of a run  of fantastic weddings here in Boston.  The latest to tie the knot were my dear old friends Brendan, a BC High guy with me, and his doll of a bride Brenna.  The whole wedding week was fantastic.  Brenna, you looked gorgeous.  B, you are a lucky man.

Below are a few pictures from the festivities.  Enjoy

PS.. I am in Boston for the immediate future as I have a handful of other weddings to attend!  Until then  I'll be contemplating my next move, for both on and off the dance floor!

In the meantime, I am not sure how much blogging I'll be doing.  I'd love to hear from you.  It has been too long.  I did just get a cell phone but I don't know what the number is.  I know my email address.  mmcgilv@gmail.com

BC HIGH GUYS ARE DROPPING LIKE FLIES!

Hello all,

The one and only Shady tied the knot over the weekend, marrying the love of his life.  Congrats to you both.  Thank you for including me in your big day.  It was an absolute honor.  It has been a while since I have been out in public.  Although a bit rusty, I sincerely hope I scared the living daylights out of the men, women, and children on the dance floor at your wedding.   Rest assured, the BC High and Clemson guys did our absolute best to rip the roof off the place!  Enjoy the honeymoon and a lifetime of happiness with one another.  Love you guys.

Still alive and well.
