Following the ceremony, we headed back to the hotel where we met up with my parents. Then we all headed down to the Cocktail Hour. There were lots of snacks like Gardetto's, popcorn, nuts, and Swedish Fish. But I was most excited about the Hard Cider on tap!
I also took the opportunity to snap a few photos of the ballroom all set up. Laura spent a lot of time planning this wedding and it was evident in all the pretty details.
There were three different table set-ups.
Along with the head table.
When the bride and groom arrived, I made sure to grab Laura for a few photos!
Then it was time to go in for dinner at the head table.
I went for the stuffed chicken.
Laura's sister had a really sweet Maid of Honor speech.
And I enjoyed the cake, even though I'm not really a cake person!
After dinner, there was the Grand March. It was kind of awkward at first, but fun.
The First Dance - wish I remembered what song it was!
Father - Daughter dance to "Brown-Eyed Girl"
Mother - Son dance to "In My Life"
Step-Dad - Daughter dance to "Imagine"
Then the dance floor opened up to everyone. We were dancing machines for a while.
Around 9:30, they did the garter toss
and bouquet toss.
My fam left around then, but we stayed to dance some more. I planned to shut the reception down, but Adam was exhausted and left around 11, and I didn't stay much longer. Dancing by yourself is no fun and it had been a long day! Plus my feet were throbbing. It was hard to call it a night because I didn't want the fun to end, but it was time.
It was a beautiful wedding and I am just so happy for Laura and Ethan!
