Wedding (Part3b of 4) - The Reception

The reception was a blast. Everyone I have talked to since the wedding has talked about how much fun they had and I'm so glad. The decorations turned out better than I thought. The food was great. It was just perfect to me. As I mentioned before, something was wrong with the A/C in the reception hall but for those of us who were dancing and having fun, no one seemed to mind too much and if we did, we just went outside on the veranda. I think the reception was from 6:30pm-11pm and it literally felt like it lasted an hour. I can't believe how fast it went. Everyone tells you that it is going to go by so quickly and then it does and you still aren't expecting it to be THAT fast. Anyway, on to the pictures to tell the rest of the story...

The table numbers were all pictures of Steve and me at that age. I thought they turned out cute and we made them ourselves.

The escort cards on the plat (is that what it's called) of grass. So cute!

Our sweetheart table. So glad we did it this way instead of a head table. We had way too many people.

My DAD caught the garter of all people. We took it back from him and Steve re-tossed it...
