Party Time

After pictures, it was time to party!!! Up the elevator we went... ...and we were greeted with champagne!Thankfully, my cousin and friends took some pictures of what the tables looked like before everyone arrived! Guest tables...
Head table...Our coordinator, Sabrina, spent most of the day decorating our reception room. She hung all of the lights and draping and lit tons of candles along the windowsills. I thought the room looked wonderful!

The bridal party was announced and finally....the bride and groom! Here we are bustin' a move!After the wonderful speeches by my sister, our best man, and my dad, it was time to cut the cake and do our first dance!By this point, my darling, new husband had stepped on my dress about 10 times and completely ripped out my bustle. We tried to pin it but it never looked quite right! Later in the evening, I got to dance with my daddy... (please notice the "bustle"...uck...)After our delicious dinner... (love the drapings in this picture)it was time to schmooze with the guests, talk to friends, and hit the dancefloor!I shouldn't be laughing. It isn't funny. He has a sweating problem...The whole night went by in a flash and suddenly it was time to go! I quickly ditched my wedding dress for something a little more comfortable. We decided that we wanted to continue celebrating with out family and friends before heading back to the hotel.We had a little surprise waiting for us as we left Windows off Washington!My sister and brother surprised us with a horse and carriage get-away! It was so exciting!Such a grand get-away! I loved it! It was such a wonderful and thoughtful surprise...and a perfect way to have some alone time and come down from the "high" we had been experiencing all day! I had the driver take a picture...of course :)My cousin even drove by and snapped an action shot!Such a wonderful ending to a wonderful day! Up next...StudioB!
