Missy & Rich had one heck of a big fat Italian wedding this past Saturday.  Over 300 of their closest friends and relatives packed St. Louis Catholic Church to witness their marriage.  Their ceremony was so cute and sweet.  Their priest had them talking about how they knew they were in love with each other and he had the whole crowd laughing.  The couple also had a super fun bridal party, many who were friends with them since their Monarch High School and CU Boulder days.  Speaking of CU, Missy and Rich are nuts for CU football.  These two Buffs fans were announced into their reception at the Omni Hotel to the school’s fight song and even their cake topper featured a lil Mrs. Buffalo next to a Mr. Buffalo.  So cute!

Missy & Rich,

You two are so young at heart and fun that I have no doubt you’ll treat married life as just one more of your adventures together.  Rich, make sure you always keep Missy warm and cozy over at Folsom Field.  Congratulations!!!

The party begins

The Omni Hotel Ballroom all set up for the big reception.

This spread was a labor of love for Missy and Rich. Their family all pitched in to create these traditional Italian goodies for the wedding.

Rich’s relatives came up with some funny limericks to celebrate the Irish in him.

Missy and Rich give their parents a whirl on the dancefloor.

Can I just say that the guy in the top right photo is awfully flexible. He did not fall on the ground when he did that dance move!

What a cute couple:)
