Wedding Reception





Funny, most people that I know tell me how quickly that their wedding day went. I cannot say the same. Maybe it is because it was one of the most beautiful moments in my entire life. It didn't "fly by". I cherished every single moment. Every time Brian looked into my eyes with such pure happiness and love my heart and mind captured it, like a picture - only better.

We arrived at our reception venue about 30 minutes before guests arrived. I had to freshen up - then get to greeting our family and friends. I slipped off my beautiful purple heels and threw on some pretty white flip flops that I added tiny silk roses to ......and on with the evening.


After seeing these online for $50 + I decided to make it myself , and was pleased with the outcome !

Dinner was Delicious, and Pretty. Some guests ate the orchid on the plate.....Personally they are my favorite flower, and way too pretty to eat !

We started out with our first dance .....Our song was "At Last" by Etta James. Such a beautiful and loving song. I will never forget the way Brian looked at me, held me, and made me feel! Our Dj Gus, was absolutely fabulous. Not only did he have the dance floor packed all night long, he kept everyone happy - and presented us with a beautiful plaque with our song, lyrics and wedding date on it!

I felt like a Princess!

So Happy





Then we danced with our parents.....



 The Bouquet and Garter tosses were both equally entertaining!!

 



 



Brian's friend Joe, and his lovely wife surprised us with a PHOTO BOOTH as a wedding gift. Everyone had a blast taking fun photos all night long. It really added a special touch to our big day!



There was so much Dancing and Fun. The most amazing thing, is to this day people are still telling me how much fun that they experienced at our wedding - which is the gift that keeps giving.








It was a beautiful amazing day. Thanks to all who made it a memory that we will look back on for the rest of our lives.........

After the wedding, the adults in the wedding party hopped in the limo bus and met our photographer at Wade Oval, and the Art museum for some very beautiful and picturesque photos.

I can honestly say this is a small amount of photos compared to what our amazing photographer gave us.

After Wade Oval, The Limo took the wedding party to the reception venue. Brian and I packed into a Van, and went to Huntington Beach for a quick 15 minute beach photo session.






Next up....Reception!!!!
