The Reception

I honestly can't think of a more perfect wedding reception! We held it in the Hidden Meadows at Mellor Banquets. I worked there in high school and had always pictured having my perfect wedding there. It ended up being better than I ever expected!!!

I remember showing up, changing into my dress, and waiting for the pictures to start. There was a little mix up with the florist (we were waiting for them to deliver the flowers, when in fact they had already been delivered and were sitting in the front room all along). Also, my bridesmaid, Leah, was late showing up (she had an allergic reaction to her bridesmaid dress).

I actually don't remember the reception that well, it was all kind of a blur. We had so many friends, family members, family acquaintances and ward members show up.

Some things that made our reception so special:
-Davy looked so handsome in his tux!
-The weather was incredible! I could not have picked a more perfect day if I tried. The sky was a perfect bright blue color and there was hardly a cloud in sight. My worst nightmare was that it would rain and I would have to move in reception inside. I'm a VERY lucky girl!
-The food! Seriously, the menu was great. We had chicken salad croissant sandwiches, a huge veggie tray, chocolate covered strawberries, and raspberry lemonade.
-A whole group of my cute little 1st grade students (from student teaching) showed up. They were so cute all dressed up and were so excited to get their pictures taken with me. It was a really sweet moment and I'm so glad they were there!
-I had over 20 of my great Alpha Phi sisters show up. Our chapter of Alpha Phi has a wedding tradition of singing/giving out roses the the bride. It was so nice of them to travel up to my reception and be there for my special day.
-My cake was absolutely GORGEOUS!
-I got stuck in my dress! I went to the dressing room to change into regular clothes to travel to the hotel and I couldn't get my skirt off. No one had come with me to help! I finally managed to get out of my dress, and when I got out everyone had been waiting for me for quite some time to do the little send off thing. Oops!

Like I said, the day could not have been any more perfect!
