Reception Fun

I thought I would wrap up the wedding coverage for you today...by giving you a peek inside the reception!

Before I do, though, I wanted to tell you that Ryan's grandpa will be having surgery today because of a brain bleed. Brain surgery is a pretty big deal, and we'd love you prayer warriors to join us in lifting him up today! Thanks so much!

And now...wanna see Kasey and Cassie's wedding reception? It was so beautiful in that room {you remember...the one that took a whole bunch of us 9 hours to set up?} with the soft lights and all the cake!

One of my favorite pictures...the guests of honor making their entrance.
The head table all filled up!
Bride and groom!
The bad part about being the photography nut is that you have to do all your own selfies.
{Those are Cokes...FYI.}

Toasts and cake-cutting. {You can just know I parked NEXT to the cake so I could get those shots!}


Let's pause to appreciate the cake, shall we? {I miss it.}



 {Peanut butter cup for me and French toast maple bacon for Ryan.}

First dances were so sweet. I took more pictures than I should have but I won't make you look at ALL of them.




 And speaking of dances....

...Ryan and I did some slow dances, and then one of the groomsmen came up and asked Ryan if he could dance with me. Ryan said yes, and I hurried to explain that I actually cannot dance. Well, guess what? HE CAN!!!! I flew around that floor so fast. Had no idea what was happening and could not catch my breath. Oh. My. Word. Ryan was taking pictures, but they're all a blur because so were we!


It was fun though, and he was very kind. {He took my sister out for a dance, too. She fared as well as I did.}

But after that, I was back to slow dances with my date for life. I love him so much!
And a couple other pictures Ryan took at the reception:

What a sweet reception!! The cake is so sweet - and how awesome to do cupcakes!

You can tell that you and the bride are related. The two of you look quite similar in the first picture of your post today that shows the bride and groom entering the reception and the picture of you (with Ryan) in the "header photo" of your blog. Looks like a great reception!!

It looked like a great day all around. Congrats again to the happy couple.

By the tan lines, in guessing the groomsmen all wear cowboy or baseball hats often. ;-)

Tamar - I served cake at a reception once and promptly swore that when I got married there would either be cupcakes or NO cake. It was such a debacle!!!

Maria - That is the nicest compliment you could give me! I think she looks like her dad and his side of the family, but I often hear that she favors me. I'll take it!

Odie - It was definitely great! And exhausting in the most beautiful way!

Leslie - YOU CRACK ME UP! I had to go back and look at all the pictures again. You're so right! I hadn't even noticed!!!

I grew up in the country so I recognize a cowboy hat/baseball hat tan line quickly!
