This week, Kelly's "Show Us" is Wedding Receptions and Honeymoons.
I'll post honeymoon pics next week, as we went to Hawaii and it is one of my "favorite vacations" (next weeks post!).
We had our reception 30 miles away from our church because in our small town, there aren't a lot of options. We had it in the ballroom of Lakeside Casino.
We opted to not do a "head table" and instead sat at our own table with our wedding party and their guests at the tables around us.
Grandma Kathryn made us a beautiful quilt that we used as our guest "book."
Neither of us are huge cake people so we had cheese cake. We had about 15 different kinds of cheesecake.
Along with the cheesecake, we had a groom's cookie cake, a "mother's cake," a birthday cake for my uncle, a candy buffet, homemade ice cream, and of course a chocolate fountain. Oh... and we had "real food" too. Sort of. We did an appetizers buffet of some of our favorite foods. YUM.
I'm not sure the DJ liked the caricature (because he gathered the bigger crowd) but everyone else seemed to love it. We love going to visit family/friends and seeing their caricature from our wedding hanging up.
Some of the kidlins that were there.
Off to the casino. We didn't want the day to ever end. I wanted to wear my wedding dress as long as I could! ;)
Just in case you aren't sick of our wedding photos yet, you can check out a book I made on shutterfly here.
Welcome to the Hickstionary, a landing spot for all things H family.
I'm Heidi. He's Rusty. And together we have our beautiful babe, Beckett and a furry menace, Dakota.
I mostly use this space to brag about how awesome the kid is, whine about how naughty the dog is & share an occasional deep thought.
Thanks for hanging out with us as we figure out this [blessed] life!
