Summerbride2010..the Series
Part 4: The reception/Finale!!

Ok, since WBC is POPPING with photos today!! I decided to go ahead and join the fun with posting my reception (part 4 photos).

Some are pro pics, some are non pro pics from guest!!

The rooms was decorated and lit so beautifully...it really set a mood for everyone!!

The steel drummer also help to set the mood with the Island sound playing as guest enjoyed the cocktail hour of our signature drink (WILL-I-AM), and delicious crap dip, and fruit and cheese trays!!

Hubsy and I entered to JayZ and Beyonce's "Crazy in love"!! and brought the house DOWN!!! We danced it out!! the guest loved it!!!!

We then had a first dance with interpretive dancers starting it out...to Luther vandross and Mariah Carey's "Endless love"...and then they pulled us in at the end to finish the dance!! and we had a fog release at the end of the dance!! It was sooo magical!

The cake looked as if it was floating on air with the KICK AZZ clear box!! Guest rant and raved about it!! and took so many pics!!

Our punch fountain, marti mashed potatoes, food, and monogramed cookeds was a HUGE HIT!!!

the photo booth was a huge hit!! a line STAYED at the booth. Hubby and I had to break in line to get some pics!!...LOL

Then we just danced the night away!!

Oh yeah, we took shots with the guest!!!! We really let our hair down and had a blast!!

In our advice box...once couple wrote : from the wife "E...Tara is always right!!"...and her husband advice was ..."Please ignore everything my wife just wrote!!..LOL WE loved it!!!


Our reception was so much fun...

Our guest said, they had NEVER been to a wedding like that before, they did not want to leave!!!

Oh, and we played the shoe game!! ....it too was a hit!! Just so much went on!! the time FLYIED!!

I re-live it in my head EVERYDay!!

Hope you ladies enjoy my Series!! Thanks for all your help agian girls!!

(((HUG)))

Your pictures are absolutely gorgeous!!!  It looks like something out of a magazine!!!

I was thinking of incorporating an interpretive dancer instead of a flower girl for my ceremony...but I wasn't sure if it would be cheesy or not... (see my blog post about it).

Ok....I have to google the shoe game cuz I have no idea what that is.... :)

Did you buy or rent your gobo?  If you bought it would you be willing to sell the monogramed gobo plate?  If so please message me.  Thanks.

Thank you so much justaboutwright!  It was a day I re-play in my head almost everyday!

As for the GOBO, I had it made, and it has our names and wedding date on it at the bottom of the big "W" ....so...you probably wouldn't want it.
