We sometimes joke that this road trip is actually the wedding tour of the United States. We currently plan on attending 4 weddings this year, 3 of which are in the next 5 weeks. This weekend was Jay’s brother Nate’s wedding, which was held at the Cutler Plonkin Jewish Heritage Center in downtown Phoenix, right next to the Burton Barr library where Jay’s mom Cindi use to work. The venue was lovely, they had great weather and it was a nice gathering of family and friends to celebrate their big day. Here are some of my favorite pictures from the rehearsal dinner (at Jay’s parents house) and the main event.

Jays first time wearing a tux -- he cleans up well!
the wedding cakes, Blitz Torte, lovingly made the day before by Jays mom and grandma
the new Mr. and Mrs. Holt, entering the reception
Nate and Nicoles daughter Laya, she made it down the aisle and through most of the ceremony, but had a mini meltdown as soon as it was over
Ken, Millie (Jays grandma), Cindi, and Morgan (Jays parents) before the ceremony
The men in their finery
