The day after returning to the U.S. from Jamaica (where we were married), we had a wonderful reception party. The party was hosted by my husband's aunt and uncle and our closest friends and family attended. Here are a few photos of the occasion... Our photographer did a fantastic job! I wish I could share more photos but I also want to honor the privacy of our guests, not everyone is an open blog like myself! ;)
We waited in an upstairs room until our guests arrived and Chris's uncle introduced the new Mr. and Mrs.... Yes, I pulled the dress right out of my luggage the morning of. It had traveled a total of 6,600 miles, been married in, even got a little ocean water on it.. but it survived for yet another appearance.
Here is the sand castle cake I was so excited to see! The cake lady made my dream come true!
And some other beautiful beach theme touches...Oh how I LOVE orchids!
The food was catered by our favorite BBQ restaurant. You can't be from Kansas and not appreciate BBQ!
Here are the pinapple trees I really wanted, and my awesome friends helped me make them (they did all the work)!
A wonderful friend of mine hired a magician to help entertain our guests, isn't that sweet? He was a hoot, and everyone loved him!
And now we live... happily ever after!
