And I love the last minute phone call that the invitation went to the wrong adress.<br />If I could change something about my wedding day....I don't really remember it!

I can honestly say I don't have a single picture of my reception and it makes me sad. (Not even a non professional one!) How it got missed I don't know. Anyways, I loved seeing Ande and Joe's announcement by way of my parents ;) they look sooo good!Mike and Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16646097406351690276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3234790858142513224.post-75195459438793201922011-03-17T21:15:17.590-07:002011-03-17T21:15:17.590-07:00Barb's comment strikes me as funny because I r...Barb's comment strikes me as funny because I remember being ten years old and thinking that her cake was the most magnificent thing I'd ever seen.<br /><br />I wasn't really interested in my reception either. I chose the colour scheme and asked for my mom to keep it simple. She consulted me about things, but it wasn't my big concern. And it turns out, that I ended up loving my reception. The food, the program, the decorations, all of it. Every time I look back on it, I can't help but think, "Wow, that was a fun party!"Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05618406109447187879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3234790858142513224.post-76410370290172868962011-03-17T18:54:13.291-07:002011-03-17T18:54:13.291-07:00I had assumed it was more expensive and had sighed...I had assumed it was more expensive and had sighed because your last reception was so wonderfully warm and celebratory and someday I will be helping with weddings here. But now I'm thinking - hmmm, maybe we could pull it off? Maybe you could a write a book with recipes and timetables for the less-domestically gifted?Emma Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05445947251876802806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3234790858142513224.post-75757737960890025072011-03-16T19:16:42.605-07:002011-03-16T19:16:42.605-07:00Maybe a better photographer.

Love those guys. :-) <br /><br />Maybe, maybe, maybe I might have done a ring ceremony for my non-member family . . . maybe. :)tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08340557400284112232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3234790858142513224.post-16235164159225754262011-03-16T14:13:24.387-07:002011-03-16T14:13:24.387-07:00I loved our reception.

Good thing Dad rigged up a fan in the bushes to blow on us! :) It was such a fun evening, since we know so many of the same people, it was like one big party with 2x the people that we would ordinarily have at a reception.<br /><br />Hope everything is going well with the preparations. I'll be looking forward to pictures and a recap. Enjoy this special experience!Deidrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01181514421028402144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3234790858142513224.post-59159945580495668222011-03-16T10:21:05.360-07:002011-03-16T10:21:05.360-07:00Gorgeous photo!

My mom declared that our reception was her party and she mostly did things the way she wanted them. It was beautiful, but there was also a lot of work and expense for things that I didn't really care about.<br /><br />The one thing I would change would be that I would get a manicure and a pedicure! We were so busy leading up to the wedding that I ended up having chipped nail polish on my wedding day. And if that's my biggest regret, I guess it was a big success!michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14617050750444837628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3234790858142513224.post-88849928129802771532011-03-16T08:58:57.216-07:002011-03-16T08:58:57.216-07:00Great looking couple.

Those receptions, as budget friendly as I'm sure you make them, are still a lot of work and come with pressure and stress.
