the reception

Happy Wednesday, friends!  I think this post will be the hardest to do of all the Wedding Week posts... there were just so many pictures to narrow down!


The finer points:

  • All of the toasts were killer.  Really killer.  Let's just say that there were not a lot of dry eyes in the house.  And I need a box of tissues when I sit down with our wedding video.
  • The cupcakes were totally amazing.  They were so amazing that even if they are 10% as good when Brian and I go to eat a frozen one (or dozen) next August, they will still be delicious.  Yum.
  • We sang happy birthday to my dad, whose 50th birthday the week before had been kinda overshadowed by wedding planning.  It was so much fun.
  • Everyone was so happy.  When I look at the pictures, it totally shows.  I love that.
  • The dancing was such a blast.  I had been kinda worried that no one would dance because of the time of day.  False.  Love Train was definitely a highlight.
  • The man next to me in the get low picture?  That was our DJ.  He put on the Cha Cha Slide and then participated.  Love it.
  • There was a full-out brawl for the bouquet.  It was ridiculous.  And awesome.  One of my childhood BFFs caught the bouquet.
  • The guys were not quite as enthusiastic.  My baby brother caught the garter.  
  • We didn't do a formal exit.  Instead, we tromped down to the corner (the UVA bar scene), on foot, with our friends and went to a bar.  The rain held off until we got there.  When it was time for Brian and I to leave, one of my childhood BFFs hailed us a cab in the rain.
  • Meanwhile, my parents and their friends drank wine on the balcony and watched streakers in the rain.  What better way to end such an epic day?
Tomorrow I will be posting details and DIY projects!
