Wedding Photos Part 10: Cocktail Hour

During our cocktail hour Dave and I were signing paperwork, taking photos, taking a quick bite of the food Jonathan got us, bustling my dress...and then sitting down to dinner.  Oops.  We had big dreams of attending our cocktail hour.

But, we hear that everyone loved it!  Friends and family raved about the food.  So, we're glad everyone had fun!

Because our photographer was with us taking pictures, there aren't a ton of the cocktail hour space itself.  I know some of our family and friends took photos then, which I will post once I get through all the professional photos.  Here are a few at least taken during that time...

 Yummy food.

 Me with Kendra and Debe - my former roommates and long-term friends

 The Galaxy Girls
Lindsay (Jupiter), Sarah (Mars), Dana (Pluto), Jackie (Neptune), Kendra (Earth), Brianne (Saturn), and Adrianne (Venus)

 B, you looked too cute!

Julie, Lisa, Debe, Danielle, Karla, and Kaity
Our wonderful friends and family who helped with setting up for the wedding!

 I think everyone has heard about the wonderful and amazing Danielle.  She made those darling felted birdies, wrote all of our chalkboards, fixed my bouquet when it was way too huge and heavy, wrapped ribbon on all the bouquets, and did a million other things to help make our big day a success!

And okay, these aren't from the cocktail hour, but I was going through our photo source files and loved these that weren't in the original selects...

 This was taken just before the first look, but I love that you can see the reflection of the girls in the background.  One of the most amazing things for me was looking around and feeling everyone's love and support.  Dave and I are lucky to have our family and friends.

One more - to remind you about the gorgeous makeup Kaarin did for me!




 I really didn't mean to rest my feet on John's head...

So, any memorable stories from the cocktail you can share with us?  We enjoy experiencing our wedding vicariously through others...
