Ok, maybe I'm biased, but our reception was the most fun I have EVER had at a reception!
After the ceremony, us and the wedding party stopped at a local, little bar on the way to the reception site.
Married!!!
Then it was off to the reception site, which was a local ski lodge. I loved this Mr. and Mrs. idea that I got and found the pieces at a local Michaels store. We still actually have them up above our kitchen cabinets by a wedding photo :)
Our welcome table held the alter-memorial vase, the wedding cake, the guest book/frame, and these old wedding photos from our parents and grandparents. These were one of my FAVORITE decorations. Matt's sister also had an amazing surprise for us: she (and our moms) gathered TONS of photos and made a slideshow for us! What we didn't know was that right before the wedding party arrived, the moms and the reception site staff were furiously running around trying to get the equipment to work and actually project the slideshow up on the big screen tv. It didn't end up working that way but the laptop was able to run all night for people to watch it. It was an incredibly sweet gift, one that I still cherish!
Best "appetizer" ever! And "old fashioned" popcorn machine that was going all night. It was great for snacking before dinner and late night (aka sobering up).
The tables all had frames with photos (our engagement photos and our puppies' photos) and these "love" quotes from all different movies.
Our 1st dance was to Lady Antebellum's "When You Got a Good Thing"
We decided to combine the Father-Daughter and Mother-Son dance into one "Parent-Child" dance to Rascal Flatt's "My Wish", such a GREAT message in the lyrics!
Abby loved dancing with all the guys (I think it's because they all would pick her up and twirl her around)
I should've known the night was going to get a little crazy when our DJ jumped up on the speakers wearing a wig! He was hilarious and kept the energy level up all night!
Matt broke out some moves I had NO IDEA he had!
Even the wait-staff got in on the fun (notice the empty champagne bottles? yep, that was only a few of them!)
No wedding is complete without a conga line!
Cousins! (we were all born within a few months of each other)
Me and my daddy
