You Make My Dreams Come True: Car Decorating

When I realized several members of our bridal party were missing for about 20 minutes late in the evening, I had a pretty good idea of where they might be. Thankfully I have some great photos so I know exactly what was going on!

You Make My Dreams Come True: Party Time

It was finally time for some dancing! I think the dancing was honestly one of the things I most looked forward to about our wedding. I LOVE good music, good friends, and shakin’ my booty. I was so happy to see our dance floor packed the majority of the night.

We had SO much fun dancing the night away. Towards the end of the evening, a few of our friends (and several members of our bridal party) disappeared for a few minutes – You’ll see what they were up to in the next post!

You Make My Dreams Come True: Dollar Dance

The dollar dance is another controversial wedding tradition, but it was one we knew we’d participate in. I’ve heard it may be a Midwest thing (or called something else in other regions) but every wedding we’ve been to has done it, and a lot of our guests expected it. We had so much fun with it, and our guests did too. It was so nice to get a chance to visit with tons of people individually.

To be honest, I have no idea what songs our DJ played. I pretty much left it up to him, and he did a great job of keeping the music going (even after he had to play a few more songs than we’d planned because of the number of guests who wanted to participate!) and kept the mood upbeat and fun. Anyway, on to the pictures!

I feel like I say this about every post, but these are more of my favorite memories and pictures of the night. I think I’m laughing in almost every picture! So don’t hate me too much for having a dollar dance at my wedding. :)
