Last week I shared some of the candid shots of Aaron & Summer’s wedding ceremony this week I’m sharing wedding photos of the reception. I didn’t take many pictures during the reception because I was busy eating or dancing! We had a great time but we had to condense our timeline because the groom wasn’t feeling well. He had been battling a head cold all week and he had a fever the morning of the wedding. Well, his fever spiked mid-reception so we cut out some dancing, did the important stuff and sent them on their way. Thankfully, he was feeling much better by the time they boarded their cruise ship on Sunday afternoon.

The wedding cake

Before the cake was cut, 60 additional white frosted cupcakes were added to the table.

I LOVE this picture taken by our friend and Aaron’s co-worker, Bill Martin.

The Shower Dance is a line dance type dance made popular at The 99 events (the missions group Jordan is with). The wedding party decided to flash mob this dance, starting with the best man and maid of honor to end the “formal” dances and open the dance floor to all of the guests. It was a big hit!

Cutting the Cake

The bride and groom were very nice to each other while cutting the cake…this time. They practiced with the groom’s cake at the rehearsal dinner and well, let’s just say Summer had to wash her hair in the bathroom during the event because she had a lot of blue frosting in it!

I hope you enjoyed this peek into the wedding reception. Next week I’ll share a few of the stories from the wedding weekend.

The wedding is now over and the kids are on their honeymoon. I’m sure it will be a while before we get the professional wedding pictures back but I thought I’d share some of the wedding photos of the ceremony that I took on my iPhone and a few that appeared in our feed from guests. Next week I’ll share photos of the reception and the following week I’ll tell some of the wedding stories!

The Kiss

Sand Ceremony

Since the Sand Ceremony was new to many of our guests, it might also be new to you. Here is what was read during this part of the ceremony:

Now we shall celebrate Groom and Bride’s union as it is symbolized through the pouring of two individual containers of sand. One represents Groom (he pours a portion of her sand in vase) and all that you were, all that you are, and all that you will ever be.

The other represents Bride (she pours a portion of her sand on top Groom’s sand) and all that you were and all that you are, and all that you will ever be.

As the two vials of sand are poured into the third keepsake vase, (both Groom & Bride together pour their remaining sand in the central vase) the individual containers of sand will no longer exist, as they are now joined together as one. Just as these grains of sand can never be separated and poured again into the individual vases, so will the love and bond between the two of you render you inseparable.
