Treely, Madly, Deeply: Reception Candids!

Oh, Hive, our reception really was so much freakin' fun. I know I've been a little moany and groany about the shoulda-woulda-couldas, but I swear it comes from a good place: wanting to inform future Brides about a decision I made that I would make differently, if I could re-do it. 

I'm done waxing poetic about it all, though, promise.

Once Mr. Palm Tree and I made our way to the dance floor, we didn't leave. I swear, I didn't even leave for the bar - my bridesmaids were ballers and were on top of it. My cup was never empty.

This is Macklemore's Thrift Shop and my cousin Z and I were totally word-battling. 

Rev. Fun's sister/my cousin K and I jamming to Hips Don't Lie. We both have a major Shakira crush.

This is really how I dance, you guys. 

I believe this was Whitney's I Wanna Dance With Somebody. GM Pythagoras and I have a whole collection of "Our Songs".

Jamming with the best FG's ever, Pad and Pie.

I ball hard.

I wasn't the only star of the floor, though - so many of our guests were having a blast, which makes me so happy. When I would daydream of the pictures that I wanted of our reception, these are pretty much exactly what would come to mind. 

Our bartenders did not F around, you guys. 

I wish I could say that the night lasted forever but alas, all good things must come to an end. . .

Treely, Madly, Deeply: Our Reception - Dancing And My 'Regret' Revisited.

One of the things I really wanted to make sure our wedding included was a ton of dancing. I told this to our DJ so many times he was probably ready to throttle me. I even emailed him and told him that I had a nightmare that nobody danced (dramatic, but true). When he came up to the Bridal Suite before our Introductions, he told me that he'd do his absolute best but it really is up to the Bride and Groom to get the guests started - something that we sort of failed at, at least at the beginning of the night. 

Thank goodness I put together a very intense 'Must Play' list (which I'll share in a later post) and thank goodness, my guests know how to have a good time (and how to drink ;) ).

So much fun being had without Mr. and Mrs. Palm Tree. I get semi-sad/jelly every time I see these pictures.
