As promised, here's the second installment of our post-wedding recap. Today's feature: the party. Of course, after the vows were said and the family pictures were taken, our next priority was getting everyone fed. Remember all that potato salad and cole slaw? We laid it out, along with the corn muffins and the pig that had been cooking since six that morning, and everybody filled a plate...
After a lot of chatting, some dang good eating, and a few lovely toasts, we moved to the front yard for some much-anticipated pinata excitement. The papier-mache pig didn't last nearly as long as we thought it might, but it certainly got its moment in the spotlight.
We slipped away with our rockstar photographer while the candy got distributed and took some gorgeous photos I'll share with you on Friday. Fortunately, we made it back in time for dessert:
And for dancing...
And then there were sparklers, and fireworks, and dance lessons led by a six year-old. There was lots of laughing and our two big families mingling, and there was a show-stopping sunset. And there were fireflies.
When I say it was magical, I hope you won't laugh at me. If it helps, I'll confess that it all seemed to happen in the blink of an eye and that the evening seemed to end just as it was starting. Everyone warns you that the day will fly by and you think you understand what they mean, but then it actually happens to you and you understand...
I'll be back on Friday with one last dose of wedding photo bliss. See you then!
Oh it all look so beautiful! That photo of the two of you dancing with the lights and the trees, good grief, it is gorgeous. Looking forward to Friday's photos :)
