actually ALL agreed on the same dress- pretty amazing for 6 girls + bride + mother of the bride to all agree.\u00a0 We even had to change up the color scheme a bit but it will all look so beautiful on their big day.\u00a0 Can&#8217;t wait to celebrate!<\/p>\n<p>First stop <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hamiltoninnjc.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Hamilton Inn<\/a> for some fabulous food and a few bloody marys thrown in the mix.\u00a0 I really love this restaurant- casual with great food and they have outdoor seating as well.\u00a0 Great for football watching too.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a
