Our Cran-Lemon Wedding: Our Reception Begins

Between the end of cocktail hour and making our grand entrance into our reception, our venue's bridal attendant brought Steve and I upstairs to the bridal suite and gave us cocktail hour food to eat. It was perfect because Steve and I got to be alone for a few minutes to reflect on the day so far, and I was able to steal a few bites without our guests there to distract me. A bride's gotta eat! (I couldn't eat much though because my dress fit just right and there wasn't much room to stretch!)

Meanwhile, our guests found their seats at our reception. We joined them soon after. We decided to have just our bridal party walk in before us. For them, we chose the song "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" by Stevie Wonder. Our DJ/MC introduced them.



The guys wore the shades Steve got them. They really got into it and danced their way into the room.



Behind MOH L, you can see our photo-booth! More of that to come. :)

Our bridal party lined up and then it was our turn.


For us, we picked "Beautiful Day," a quintessential wedding entrance song that didn't fail to pump us up. We frolicked into the room after our DJ/MC introduced us.




"It's a beautiful daaayyy!"


Steve stayed true to himself and gave everyone high-fives, which caused a few laughs:




Our guests clapped for us again, which was sweet. Our DJ/MC asked: "Doesn't the groom look GQ today?"

Yup. He sure did!


Then it was time for our first dance as husband and wife!

  2. We also got to spend some quiet time alone during the cocktail hour, which was great. And we almost entered to Beautiful Day, too, but changed our minds and instead went right into our first dance song. I love that song!
