Wedding Day- Part 2

Here I am, back again, it's reception time!  First of all, may I just say... I love my bridesmaids!!!  They were the best.  I had a minor bride-zilla freak out right before the reception and was kind of yelling a bit and telling people what to do a lot.... and my girls were just great :)  Thanks for putting up with me and being such a help Jamie, Emily, and Sloan!!  And thanks a million for the mountain dew... you ladies know me way too well.

The reception was really fun!  There were so many great people that came out and supported us!  And I'm pretty sure everything went pretty well... minus the fact that I didn't get to spend a good solid hour by the fountains.  That's right, THESE fountains.

Now look me in the eye (figuratively) and tell me that's not the most beautiful thing you've ever seen.  They probably should have made the receiving line right by the table, but you can't have everything, right?
Also, the flowers were gorgeous!  I was really impressed with the lady that did them.

Pretty pretty flowers!
After standing in line for a wee bit, it was time to cut the cake.  Did I shove it in Cord's face?  Probably.

And then it was time to do bouquet toss.  How exciting.

Now if this is not an action shot, I don't know what is.

I was sad for the reception to be over!  It's crazy, you put hours and hours, and so much money, into this one day!  And then it's over and all you have are pictures and memories!  And most those memories are a blur.

Here we go!  Off to our car!  People blew bubbles and stuff.  Not quite as good as chinese lanterns being released into the sky, but eh.  What can be done?

My silly friends Emily, Kaitlyn, and Jamie missed the send-off memo, but maybe they were just trying to make it more personal? 
Yep.  I think so.

Wedding night.  Yes I will keep it PG!  Because all we did was play chess and sip sparkling apple cider!  And eat the entire package of strawberries that Dave Wiser stole from the caterer and covered in chocolate from the chocolate fountain!  Truly, that made my day perfect.  YUM. 
Above you can see the cute little table that our room provided.  How cute.

Anyways, the hotel was awesome!  I am a big fan of Anniversary Inn.  There were rose petals all over the floor, there was romantic music playing, there was a fireplace, we got cheesecake, the tub was awesome and I probably took an hour long bath that night while Cord watched TV or played Angry Birds or something, and then to top it off, breakfast in bed!!!
A+ Anniversary Inn.  Good job.

Even though everyone knows I hate love, and weddings, the above-mentioned stuff changed my mind.  Slightly.
