The Reception:Dinner and Dancing Under The Stars

October 18th, 2008

Get Ready for a total photo dump. Our Wedding reception was so much fun. I'll break it down a bit with the pictures. We walked through the house after our wedding party and all made it safely over the bridge and sean and I  had about five minutes to ourselves and then came back out to be presented as Mr. and Mrs. and the tables has been quickly moved into the pool area and chairs arranged around them.

Dinner and dancing under the stars pretty much sums it up. We had a full meal served buffet style. and a small open bar selection of red and white wine and champagne. 

My bestie made this personalized guest book/scrap book that had all my shower pictures with guest lists and gift lists as well as my wedding guest list. It's awesome to have it all in one place,

This is the path that led around to the back of the house where the wedding & reception was held

We had candles everywhere and torches everywhere

This was at the entrance to the backyard
