You Make My Dreams Come True: Reception Details

Since I’m nearing the end of my recaps, I decided to include a post about all of the reception details before finishing recapping the reception. I was SO happy with how all of the details I’d worked so hard on came together. I’ve updated my DIY Projects page (you can find it right under my header) with pictures and links to the tutorials, so be sure to check it out!

We had a little fun with our recessional.

We made our grand exit.

And then made our grand entrance!

We listened to touching toasts.

Then it was time to cut the cake.

We had our first dance!

We danced with our parents.

We did our bouquet and garter toss.

And the dollar dance!

Then it was finally party time!
Our sneaky bridal party decorated our getaway car.

You Make My Dreams Come True: Ceremony Details

With the ceremony completely recapped I wanted to share some of the details that were so important to me. I figured I’d include the signing of the marriage certificate in this post too since I only have a few pictures of it. These are some of my very favorite pictures of the day!

And the signing of the marriage certificate – I thought it was interesting that we didn’t sign anything. Only our MOH, best man, and the pastor signed. Is that just a Kansas thing, or is it like that for everyone?

 

 

Whew! We had more details than I thought, but hopefully you enjoyed seeing my projects all come together as much as I did! :)

**I shared the news on my new blog, but I thought I’d let you guys know I finally got a job (using my degree!) and started full time today! Your prayers/positive thoughts that my first few days go well and that it’s a good fit are greatly appreciated! :) 

I’m going to do my best to keep up with blogging and finish these recaps – I have a few more that I can write, but I’m still waiting on the pictures from our reception from our 2nd photographer. Hopefully I'll have them soon!
