Our Wedding: The Reception

We had our wedding reception in the back of the church right after the ceremony, and we just had hors d'oeuvres and cupcakes with coffee, tea, and champagne.  There were toasts, a bit of dancing, lots of pictures, and then Matthew surprised me with a horse-drawn carriage to pick us up before guests headed home to watch the Super Bowl—yep our wedding was on Super Bowl Sunday afternoon!  A little detail we overlooked when signing our contracts.  Oops. Good thing the groom isn’t too into sports! ;)

And as soon as that carriage pulled away from the church, I started bawling.  It was like the release of so much pressure of the last days and weeks, and poor Matthew didn’t know what to do with me for a while there. 

But anyway, I thought our reception was beautiful, and I love looking back on these pictures. Again, all photos by Bend the Light, and our venue was the Spire at Sunset Station. Enjoy!

my grandpa had been following me around asking when we could have the cupcakes, so finally I just went and got one for him… haha! He’s so cute.
