HSBC Wedding

Our friends Tim and Tara got married on Saturday and the wedding was a true reflection of their personalities. If you remember Tim from our wedding, he was the big guy doing the worm on the dance floor and playing spin the bottle (dancing style) out on the dance floor. We knew we would be in for quite the wedding with this couple. The reception was held at HSBC Arena and the entire evening was Buffalo sports themed. They really thought out many of the unique details that truly made this wedding one-of-a-kind. The reception had all qualities of a Buffalo sporting event....everything from the beer being served from an authentic Buffalo Sabres Beer Man in "waxies," chicken wings and pizza, a photo booth and trivia questions throughout the evening. What an extravaganza!

WARNING: I do not encourage some of the behavior at this wedding that you are about to witness in the photos below.

Tim and Tara's big day!

A little tent trouble before the bride walked down the aisle (it was pretty windy on the water at the Buffalo Yacht Club). Good thing there were some strong groomsmen to take care of it.

Let's Go Tim-n-Tara! (to the chant of Let's Go Buff-a-lo!)

Posing for a quick photo.

"Cold beer here!"

And the pictures that follow can attest to this.

Tim getting "iced" at his own wedding. What is "icing" or "getting iced," you ask? The rules are simple: If a person is given a Smirnoff Ice, he must drop down on one knee and chug the bottle of Smirnoff Ice. The only way to avoid "getting iced" is to carry a bottle of Smirnoff Ice around with you at all times so you can block the attacker. In order to dupe people into stumbling across the beverage, you have to come up with creative ways of presenting them with Ices. Why you ask? It must be a dude-centric thing.

I can't even begin to explain what went on here!?!?

Our table name....enough said!

The groom by the end of the night.

There was a loop of photos that played on the screen all night. Here is my proud husband up on the big screen. This was him at Tim's bachelor party in Ellicottville on his knee, in the middle of the street getting "iced."
