wedding pictures part four: reception!

apologies for the four wedding posts..the picture overload ends here!

we have loved re-living the best day of our lives and love having these pictures.

below are some photos from the actual reception. 

our goal was to mingle and enjoy ourselves,
have NO line, to dance, and to actually eat our wedding food
{everyone says they never even tasted their wedding food},
 we accomplished all of those and enjoyed 
the night so much! it was truly  a dream wedding and 
something we'll remember forever & ever. 

we loved our band, the joe muscolino band.

they provided perfect music and learned our first dance song just for us!

our first dance was to

"head over heels" by april mclean

father-daughter dance...cried the entire song!

love every one of these girls so much!

cutting the cake!

no cake smashing for us!

our wedding cake was amazing...we had different layers of 

almond poppyseed, red velvet, and chocolate coconut.

we saved the top to freeze and keep for 

our 1 year anniversary so i'm glad we'll get more then!

such a fun and unique part of our reception was our sorority & fraternity serenades..

we loved being college sweethearts and being in greek row together, and it was so fun to have the chi omega girls sing to me, followed by the sigma chi's singing the 

sweetheart song and giving me a million roses!

hugs & roses from the sigma chi's

dancing as mr. & mrs.!

my mom was the life of the party dancing with all the groomsmen!

you can tell what a good dancer my groom is from this picture

cute parents dancing

we're so happy everyone danced and made our wedding a party!

my groom being thrown in the air...haha i'm glad 

he came out of the reception in one piece!

cute groomsmen

bouquet toss!

caught by amanda...perfect! 

we did the garter toss a little bit differently...wrapped it around a football

and threw that! it was hilarious and definitely more manly than flinging it!

we were so sad to have the best night of our lives 

end, but the magical exit made up for it!

father of the bride moment...so sad to say goodbye!
