a small town wedding: dancing all night.

What's a wedding without dancing?  We had a lot of it.
 
There was an anniversary dance to give away the bouquet.


Dancing with the sweet little ones.
I love this picture of my parents.  I think they had fun that night.

When the clock struck midnight, no one wanted to go home!  It was such a wonderful day, but we had to be up early the next day to leave for our Mediterranean cruise!  We said goodbye to our friends and family and headed to the hotel as husband and wife.  Our wedding day was over!

a small town wedding: cutting the cake.

When dinner was over, it was cake cutting time.  But first, some closeups of the gorgeous cakes my mom made for us.
 We had chocolate and white cake with lemon and raspberry filling.  It was so delicious!
 I made the flowers on the cakes out of clay.
 Back to the cutting.

 We had agreed to play nice, no cake smashing for us.



 When our sweet tooth was satisfied, it was time to dance with our parents.
 My dad and I danced to "What a Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong.


 My husband and his mother danced to "My Wish" by Rascal Flatts.

Now that we were in the dancing mood, it was time to get the party started!

a small town wedding: cheers.

While everyone was enjoying their dinner, my father-in-law started the toasts. 
Of course he had some nice things to say about his son.
 Then it was my dad's turn.

 He made almost everyone in the place cry!  Happy tears of course.

 Next it was matron of honor's turn.
She told everyone how she'd enjoyed all of our DIY projects I had blogged about, and how most of the pictures in the tutorials showed my husband doing the work!


 My sister welcomed Adam to the family with a little gift.

 Adam's best man talked about some of our college experiences. 


 My husband and I thanked everyone for coming.
 And he thanked me for waiting for him to propose for so long!

a small town wedding: dinner & our first dance.

After the cocktail hour ended, it was time for dinner and our first dance.  Here's what we saw when we walked into the dining room.

Here's our spot at the head table.
We had collected tons of wine bottles to use as table numbers, and they were filled with single dahlias alongside green hydrangeas in purple vases.
When our guests were seated, we were introduced as Mr. & Mrs. and danced our first dance as husband and wife.
We danced to Home by Dave Barnes.

We had taken dance lessons for a few months before the wedding, which was really fun!  Of course the DJ had skipped the intro to the song, so we were a little thrown off at the start, and ended up having to make it up as we went along.

Thankfully no one seemed to notice!  We're not really fans of being the center of attention, so switching up the dance a bit was a welcome distraction from everyone watching us.




We ended our first dance with a twirl...
and a kiss!

Next up, it's time for toasts.
