Show Us Your Life: Reception

I'm participating again in Kelly's "Show Us Your Life," this week we are continuing with the wedding theme and we're now on to the reception! I am oh so excited!

After saying "I DO," we took some pictures and headed to our reception...

I wasn't excited or anything!!!
Our reception was held at an old, restored opera house, Seekatz Opera House!

My brother, mom and dad. Dinner was catered by one of our favorite restaurants. We had pork tenderloin, a mashed potato bar, salad and rolls....mmmm..... after dinner we had dancing that started with The Grand March.

Our huge wedding party!

Our centerpieces, I love how they turned out! We had these on some of our tables and the others we had these really pretty glass urns with a candle in them.

In addition to the traditional bouquet and garter toss, we also did a candy toss and a mini bouquet toss for the kids that attended our wedding! We wanted to give them something fun and different!

Hubby's friends from back home...

My cake...I love how it turned out!

We love to tube, so C wanted to have a tubing cake somehow, so this is what our cake lady came up with!

What's a wedding without the "YMCA??" Our DJ had all of the head pieces for the song...we had a little fun with it!

Since this has been the never ending post...you can go HERE to see a few of our honeymoon pictures(some are repeats of wedding pics, but that's ok!) We went to the Riviera Maya, Mexico and stayed at the El Dorado Royale and LOVED it! We took like 400 pictures on that trip!
Thanks for stopping by and visiting our blog! Have a great weekend!

Show Us Your Life: Wedding

I decided to participate in Kelly's Show Us Your Life...wedding day edition! I'm so excited about this because, well who doesn't love weddings?! I don't really have any good pictures of our actual ceremony, but here are a few that we took pre-wedding and post wedding.

We had 9 bridesmaids and 9 groomsmen, 2 jr. bridesmaids and a ring bearer....yes, we had a HUGE wedding party! We simply have too many very close friends to not include everyone that we wanted to! Our colors were pink and brown. The boys wore chocolate brown tuxes and I loved the way everything turned out!

We were married on July 21, 2007 at a local Presbyterian Church. We had an old family pastor marry us. He was the former pastor of my grandparents church and even baptised me when I was a baby. We thought it would be special to have him do our ceremony. My neighbor from back home sang at our wedding and the organist was my aunt's sister. I really wanted people who were special to us and who know us well to take place in our ceremony.

Our wedding party, wish I had a better picture on my computer!

"Why are you taking my picture holding these flowers?" This is Colin, my Godbaby!
I loved our flowers! We used a florist that has a shop two doors down from my parent's candy shop. She offered to do the flowers for me AND drive them TWO hours to our wedding! WOW!

The Girls!

My best friend and college roomate, Corby was my maid of honor. One of my childhood friends...from our baby days, Melanie was also one of my bridesmaids. C's two sisters, Chrissy and Candice were also two of my bridesmaids. My friend and another college roomate, Kerri was a bridesmaid as well as two good friends, Lindsay (she and her hubby actually introduced me to my hubby!) and Paula and my friends, Jenny and Leslie, from high school were also bridesmaids. My jr. bridesmaids were girls who I babysat...I was their first babysitter!


You can't really tell from in this picture, but in my bouquet, I carried an antique change purse that was my great grandmother's. It has her initials engraved in it and from the day she gave it to me, I had always told my mom that I wanted it to be a part of my wedding!

I absolutely can't wait until next week to share reception pictures! Thanks for stopping by! Have a fantastic weekend!

That's When We Said I DO!!!!

...Two years ago today, July 21st, we were married! I can't believe it's already been two years, I can't say that they've been long years...they've have flown by it seems! Here are some pics from our wedding and honeymoon!
