| Action shot of the congo line at cousin Bryan's wedding |
After DC we headed up to
Metuchen, New Jersey for my cousin Bryan's wedding, the 3rd wedding of our van adventure. My mom grew up in Metuchen, a small town that is about an hour train ride from NYC and much of her family is still in the area. Bryan was getting married in the same church that my parents got married in. It was a trip to sit in the pews with my parents, over 30 years later! It was also really neat to catch up with some of my other relatives, such as my great uncle Charles and great aunt Dot, and my cousin Susie and her fam.

After the wedding we headed to the next town over for the party. And what a party! My cousin's new wife, Janine, has Puerto Rican roots and large family. It was so great to meet them all! The party that unfolded was what was described to me by one of the groomsmen as a "typical North Jersey wedding". I found nothing typical about the cocktail hour which featured a full bar and over 10 different food stations, including seared ahi, paella, sliders and more. The rest of the party followed suit, with an awesome dance floor. My parents outlasted us at the party. Sorry for the blurry photos!

Bryan's wedding was essentially our last hurrah on the East Coast. The next day we would be heading west!
