Then there were lots of photos to be taken, with his family, with my family, with our families, with brothers, with sisters... you know the drill.
Then our sweet families went to help set up for the reception while we took some couple pictures.
...And took even more pictures at our venue for the reception. It was this gorgeous clubhouse in one of my sister's friend's neighborhoods. I always knew I had to find a good hookup so I didn't have to decorate a church gym. I didn't want to go to all that work, so this worked out perfectly. The most decorating we did was put centerpieces (also super simple) on the tables.
Our reception was SO MUCH FUN! The food was delicious, Weston had already created a playlist and set up the sound system, his sister was on the mic for announcements of cutting the cake, tossing the bouquet, etc. But if you ask Weston, he would probably say the highlight was a little surprise that his sisters Teagan and Brittan helped me put together. Teagan taught us a little dance routine that she made up and we danced for Weston. This may not sound like a big deal... unless you know me, and know that I. am. not. a. dancer. But Weston's family is all about music and dancing, so I know he was thrilled I did this with them. He even cried. How cute! He's a little softy. I've inserted the video below. And Weston's little brother Jaren (who is 6 and a hit with the ladies) was the center of attention as he was break dancing in the middle of a crowd. He was more popular than us! :) At the end of it all, our exit strategy was the perfect end to a perfect day. The wind blowing through that little corridor made the bubbles go everywhere. It felt like we were in a movie. Have I said enough how perfect this day was?!
Thanks for taking the time to read this. I've put all of our pictures in the slideshow for your viewing pleasure. I'm thinking my next post will be a tour of our little place because even my immediate family didn't get a chance to see it. But... it's already taken me six months to put this up, so don't hold your breath. :)
You are so gorgeous.! I loved the video, so cute!
ReplyDeleteHahaha The dad face!
ReplyDeleteYOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!!! AND you look SO SO SO SO SO HAPPY!!!!!!! What a perfect day. I love you to death Ter, and I am so glad that Weston found you. Or that you found Weston. Either way you two are pretty perfect for each other.
ReplyDeletewell, I fell in love with those pictures...I went through every single one & pretended I was there...so in the future when I say I remember your wedding like it was yesterday and I'm mad we didn't get a picture of us together, you'll know why :) Loved the dance & loved that YOU agreed to it (you were forced, right?) ...BTW, you've got moves! I'm glad you enjoyed the day so much, that's how I felt at mine too. You of course looked beautiful!!! AND I didn't know Jessica was preg AND I didn't recognize Jason, but when it hit me, I wondered how I didn't recognize him...but seriously he's all manly now haha!
ReplyDeleteTell Weston I'm your coolest friend. ;)
I am SO, SO, SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!! I am also equally happy that you posted a slide show of all of your pictures so that I could be like Kami and pretend like I was there. If I didn't have a four month old I would have hopped a plane and been there in two seconds flat...hope you know that. Also, Kami isn't your coolest friend... we all know that I am. She's pretty cool...just not the coolest... sorry, Kam. I love ya and I love that you found Eternal love! You're the best, Ter!
ReplyDeleteHoly cow! That's a totally storybook wedding! So beautiful! I hope Weston is enjoying your beautiful guitar solos every night. I know I'm sure missing them, and you! Hope things are going as blissful now for you as they were at your wedding!! Being married is so much fun!
