The reception began after cocktails and snacks out on the verandah next to the ceremony location. Introductions were performed by our DJ of our parents, my gram and the bridal party. Todd was kind enough to give a beautiful toast. Jess followed with another heartwarming toast to the happy couple!

Our cake was decorated in a bright flower theme with lace frosting spiraling up on one side and smooth buttercream on the other. Eric found a special surprise waiting for him next to the cake - his very own chocolate chip groom's cookie!

A room full of people were waiting for us to make our grand entrance to begin the reception!

After tastefully feeding each other some of our yummy wedding cake we enjoyed our first dance to
"Honeymoon" by Everclear.


My dad and I danced to "Unforgettable" by Natalie Cole and Nat King Cole while accompanied by our piano player friend, Larry. Eric and his mom followed with "What a Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong.

 

 

 

Party people dancing the night away

And I can't forget to mention my orange shoes! I wore them the entire time - not just at the reception. Most people didn't notice, but I did have quite a few inquiries and exclamations during the evening - "Let me see your SHOES!" :) I was on my feet from one pm until midnight and my feet didn't hurt at all!
