Our Wedding: Reception

This is the last wedding post.

I really mean it this time.

{If you missed our previous wedding posts, check them out here, here, and here.}

Since we had a simple beach wedding, we had an equally simple reception afterwards.

 I had a small cake and we had dinner and champagne at one of the resort's restaurants. My dad, Garrett's dad, and our siblings gave toasts that were all very sweet. My dad surprised me by writing something and reading it out loud. That is something I will never forget, and is one of my favorite memories from our wedding day.

I changed out of my big dress into a yellow strapless comfy dress. I hate to say it, but I could not wait to get out of my wedding dress! It was way too hot to be wearing something that heavy!

This little bit of deliciousness was left in our room! : )

My little, but yummy, cake!

Our Dad's toast's made us tear up a little. 

We weren't nice. We shoved it into eachother's faces.

 I'm not sure why I look drunk. I wasn't. 

Our cake sure was yummy!

Bride and Groom strawberries in our room : )

After our reception, Garrett and I stayed for a couple of day's to celebrate. 

When we got back home we had an outdoor reception at Perini Ranch Steakhouse so that we could see friends/family and celebrate with them. The venue was perfect! There was a dance floor, trees all around, and the food was great! I am somewhat bitter about that reception because it was outdoors and, of course, it started to rain. We had to call it quits way too early! Still makes me sad. 

But, I did have a great time and it was so great to see our friends and family!

One of my best friends from highschool that I hadn't seen in a really long time was able to come! I was so happy!

Ok. Thank you for hanging in there with the longest post ever! 

It was fun looking back at our pictures and reminiscing. Wedding pictures are always fun to look at! 

IT'S FRIDAY!!
