Wedding Wednesday: The Reception pt i

October 1, 2014 By: Courtney @ Eat Pray Run DC18 Comments

I could write about our wedding reception for days. It was by and large, so.stinking.fun. Seriously – from the time we entered to the time we all left, I had the best time. This is obviously going to be another picture heavy post so settle in and enjoy!

I love this picture of us about to enter the reception space. I love love love our venue.

Our first dance was to John Legend’s “All of Me.” It was perfect and since it’s super popular, we hear it often. πŸ™‚ We had our wedding party stand lining the back of the dance floor and I loved that.

The Best Man’s speech. Heartfelt and funny.

Ending on a happy note!

Next week, I’ll share the party part – we really had SO much fun and the dance floor was packed ALL night! Our DJ was the best and I have had so many people tell us how much fun they had at the wedding — which makes me happy because we had a blast!

What was the most fun wedding you’ve been to?

    Aww! I wish you would have shown more pictures of the venue since you said it was great. I like seeing the center pieces, the decorarions, the flowers, etc. I am a sucker for weddings! Now I am going to look back at my wedding album! Thanks for sharing. πŸ™‚

    Your pictures are beautiful, and it looks like a really beautiful venue.

    Our son’s wedding was the most fun wedding I’ve ever attended. We danced the entire night! Our younger son’s best man speech was both hilarious, and so sweet!

    Beautiful! Our first dance was a love song I listened to when I was a teenager. It starts in English and then German. The German singer is kind of the German Usher πŸ™‚ It was so special and fit perfect to me and my husband.
