A reception was held at the Suffolk Center for Cultural Arts. The new Mrs. and Mrs. Drake danced to “Good Thing” by Lady Antebellum.

The bride and her father danced to “My Girl” followed by a choreographed routine, which included James Beale’s favorite dance move — the stanky leg.

Matt and both his mothers danced to “I’ll Be” by Reba McEntire.

The night was unforgettable from the cake, the food, the music and, most importantly, the love that shined ever so brightly in everyone’s eyes. At the end of this magical evening, the couple was whisked away in a black stretch limousine as their friends and family bid them farewell.

The couple honeymooned on the island of Antigua in the Caribbean.
