After the pictures (don’t worry, they’re coming), we made our way over to the reception with the goal of greeting all of our guests as they arrived. As you all know, the first shuttle beat us to Club Longwood and we rolled with it by working the room as we stuffed our faces with scallops wrapped in bacon. After cocktails, our grand entrance and first dance lay ahead of us and we found ourselves ad libbing very quickly because the version of Some Kind Wonderful playing held a much faster beat than our practice sessions. One of my biggest fears for the wedding involved us tripping over each other during our dance, but we ended up hitting all of our spots. I guess practice does make perfect.
Everyone settled in their seats and we were honored to have three excellent speeches made by Bethany’s father, my brother, Chris, and my friend Chris White. In my opinion, all three of our speakers like to and know how to tell stories and sure it’s my wedding, but I feel we had the best group for any wedding I have ever attended. Thank you to all three of you because you each made us feel very special.
Next, we’re on to dinner and what a delicious meal it was. If you didn’t like it you must have some serious taste bud issues. While you were all dining, Bethany and I were sneaking peaks to make sure the tables we put together were talking with each other as planned. We spent a great deal of time arranging the seating with the goal of making sure that everyone would have someone to talk to and the two times we significantly looked all our guests appeared to be enjoying themselves.
Finally, it’s time for the dancing and we would like to thank our DJ, David O’Leary, for doing an excellent job hosting and for putting together an excellent play list even if I did throw him the I Want it that Way curve ball he thought I had been joking about. We did not want to have a fraternity party and the goal was to offer the opportunity for all ages dancing and I think we had everyone up there at one point or another. I am fairly confident of this because I spent most of the 8:30-9:30 hour of hunting out people who had not been out there and engaging them in some dancing.
Well, that’s a not so brief summary of what happened and I think I could even make it longer. When your wedding day arrives, enjoy it, but be prepared for extreme sensory overload and for all your memories to be in fast-forward due to the amount of people celebrating with you. Oh, and we closed down the bar again with my brother, my new father in law and our friend Kyle.
Thanks again to everyone who made this memorable day possible and for everyone who enjoyed the day with us.
