What a weekend!! That print below is 100% needed this morning! Starting a fresh week after a full 48 hours with friends and family really makes a world of a difference!! The weekend was all sorts of amazing and ended with the marriage of a beautiful couple and we all welcomed Kathy into our family with open arms!!
Even though we had a slight hiccup with a flight delay (seriously its only 43 minutes of actual flight time to NY from Boston yet we were delayed wahh!!!) we decided to start the weekend off with some drinks because what else are you supposed to do when you’re delayed?!
We knew Friday would be a wash since we were both working, but we more than made up for missing that afternoon on Saturday! The weather was pure perfection and we explored parts of Brooklyn we’ve never been to. Since our time is usually spent in the city it was a nice change to explore Brooklyn Heights, Dumbo & the areas that surround it.
The views of the New York skyline are truly amazing from the other side of the bridge! We took our time exploring and really took every opportunity for photos! It also happened to be my nephews 8th birthday so it was such a treat to get to spend it all together!!
It’s always amazing when the whole family is together for a weekend – lots of photos had to be taken!
Before heading back to the hotel to get relax & get ready – Gary and I popped into Rocco’s Tacos. We honestly picked it because it was so close to our hotel, but the food was really good and they have a few other locations scattered across the South!
A few tacos later and we were ready to take a nap!! Seriously though – if you make it to Brooklyn, this place is really fun and the decor is gorgeous! You may have seen snippets from my snapchat (@blovedboston!)
I love any excuse to get all dolled up! May have even snagged our holiday card photo!
Never been to a Russian wedding? Let me set the scene and then I’ll let the pictures do the talking! More food than you know what to do with, flowing alcohol & a band playing music that just wont quit!! Throw in lots of toasts with people screaming “gorka” – which means bitter in Russian, but when the bride and groom kiss all is sweet again – and you’ve got yourselves one Big Fat Russian Wedding!!
Side note – my mom looked HOT!
Adore this photo of the newlyweds – her dress was pure perfection!
Like I said – more food than we knew what to do with!
With the beautiful newlyweds!
With my cousin and yes that would be a vodka luge behind us!
Such a beautiful and fun night!!
The second day was more of the same just in a different location! At one point Gary looked over and asked how many more courses would be coming!! We left the weekend full, happy & looking forward to a relaxing weekend ahead…we think!
Excuse me while I down about 3 cups of coffee to make it through my Monday!! Hope you all have a great start to your week and link up below to share your weekend!

This looks amazing! And damn girl, that dress! You looked stunning. Glad you had a fun weekend!
Oh my gracious….first of all you looked amazing in that dress! The color and the fit is perfect for you. That view from the bridge was probably my very fave when I went to NYC. We had a taxi drop us at Grimaldis pizza in Brooklyn just under the bridge and then we walked the bridge back to NYC. It started snowing as soon as we made it onto the bridge. It was pretty perfect! The bride is adorable! I love when a bride chooses a dress that is more princess like if that makes sense. Have a great week B!
Such a perfect weekend with family! Those
Are my absolute favorite Xo
I am running on very little sleep this morning, it was a tough short night of sleep with Vivian. I need some coffee ASAP (currently have the pot on). I love that statement lol. That wedding OMG so beautiful, grand and lavish!
Definitely needed some coffee this morning to get Monday started! Love that magenta dress, would love to see NYC from the other side someday. Looks like a great weekend and sounds like you made a good choice with drinks when you got delayed. Have a great Monday!
Need all the coffee today! You look stunning at the wedding friend! That dress fits you like a glove!
The backdrop to all the photos looked amazing. The bride looks beautiful, of course. I loved the dress you wore, looks great on you! Happy Monday!
Ugh that sucks your flight was delayed but the best thing to do on an airport delay is get a glass of wine! 🙂 Glad you had a great trip to NYC and the wedding looked like a blast! Can we talk about how gorgeous you are in that dress?! Love it! And Gary looks so daper in his tux! The bride's dress is gorgeous and I seriously died with that vodka luge haha! Happy Monday love!

It looks like you had such a fun weekend celebrating and spending time with family! You looked gorgeous at the wedding, and that's awesome that you got to do a little sight seeing while you were there too.
Looks like your Brooklyn weather was like Seattle's this weekend. Such perfect, sunny, fall weather! I love the whole NY area, but haven't spent much time in Brooklyn YET :). That wedding looks amazing, and the bride looks like a doll! Great weekending B!
What an absolutely fabulous wedding weekend spent with your loved ones, minus the filght hiccups. You all looked gorgeous, and the brides dress is just breathtaking!! Loving that pic of Gary & you! Amazing decor and holy food, nobody went home hungry or sober it looks like ha! Hope you have a wonderful week recovering friend!
I ADORE the bride's dress! Wow. Btw that plummy/ maroon dress looks fab on you! Color looks amazing with your skin and hair color! It's always lovely to have a weekend with the fam. Weddings and birthdays make it that much more special! Hope you don't have too hard of a time recovering! (;
OH my gosh, what a fun wedding and that dress?! To die for! Gorgeous on her! Her wedding photos are going to be amazing!
OMG! You guys look so gorgeous and that bride's dress is AMAZINGGGGG!
Oh, how I love a Russian wedding! All that food, vodka, and a bunch of drunk people yelling "gorka!" lol. You look amazing in that dress-such a great color on you!
Oh, goodness! So many things to love in this post! 🙂 Love all the photo opp's you got in NY! You and your mom look GORGEOUS, love both your dresses and the bride if of course stunning, too! Also, I will certainly remember the taco place if I ever find myself up that way- it looks DELISH!
That's one heck of a wedding! Looks like so much fun. My sister lived in Brooklyn when she was in NYC and she said it beat the pants off Manhattan… I could see that, especially from a day to day perspective! Glad you got family time and so much great food in this weekend!
Sounds like such a fun weekend. You and your hubby are such a cute and good-looking couple (loving your dress and hair!)! 😉

Your dress is so gorgeous! I didn't realize it was floor length at first and now I love it even more! Polish wedding they shout "goszka!" which also means bitter for the newlyweds to kiss. Such similar traditions, I love it.
While I am 100% Russian and lived in Russian until the age of 8 I have never personally experienced a Russian wedding so I loved this post!! It looks like it was a super fun and beautiful evening – Svetlana @Life With a Side of Wine
Absolutely amazing post, beautiful pictures as well, I love to visit this interesting blog, truly inspiring, thank you for sharing!!!

Biana you looked gorgeous! That dress was really beautiful! What a fun wedding 🙂 Looked like a blast!!
Her dress is beautiful (as is yours). What a beautiful wedding. One of the things I love about New York is that there's always something new to find, I had no idea that such a venue was in Brooklyn.

Your weekend is great! I was in Boston once with my wife. After wedding me travel across U.S. and Boston was on our route. She is Russian, we met each other on a dating website ( rbrides.com/) and she have never been in U.S. before. That's why we traveled so much last year.
