Wild Wedding: The Reception {CAKE!}

After some dancing, it was time for dessert! I know some couples "plan" how they are going to do their cake cutting. Nice, sweet, and a "please don't smash the cake in my face." Well, we didn't discuss this. So, I had to be ready to attack if necessary. :)

Carefully removing the topper...


A reminder of why I needed a planner... I so didn't provide the cake knife, the cake plates... things that slipped my mind! She ruled.


Okay... here we go.... how did I deal with the cake cutting??



CAKE SMASH!


Oh yea... all over.


I knew that if I didn't attack first... he totally would have! I thought this was going to be the end of it... but...


Please look to the left in this photo. Oh that's just my groom with a cake knife chasing his new bride ...


I'm not sure WHERE I'm running to... just AWAY!


I was caught! It all happened so fast, I believe he took the knife and rubbed the cake like on my neck with it (totally dangerous Mister!).


And I had lots of frosting in my mouth apparently


And a little smidgen in my hair
{And, yes, that is a microphone all in my dress}


Note amused guests taking photos and laughing


Cake Cutting... SUCCESS!

The week before the wedding I got a tattoo! We also had our beach rehearsal before having dinner, handing out bridal party gifts, and a wild after party. The morning of the wedding, I got ready and my girls worked it for the camera. We had a first look and we were off to the ceremony. I shared some candid pictures and the first part of the ceremony. The ceremony continued and then we shared our vows. We had a sand ceremony and our first kiss as husband and wife. We then threw seashells in the ocean and made a wish and took group pictures with our friends and family. We also took private shots of just my groom and I before hopping on the trolley. I shared all the details of our reception, and when we arrived, we mingled with our guests before eating dinner, ate some tasty BBQ, and gave our toasts. We had our first dance to Jason Mraz and the dance party began! I shared our playlist and then I smashed cake in my groom's face.

Wild Wedding: The Reception {Playlist}

To be honest, I can't even remember everything that was played... all I know is that it was AWESOME! Here is the playlist that I submitted to our DJ. Most were played and the rest I was probably too drunk to notice if they made the cut, LOL. Besides, I wasn't very strict on our playlist anyways. I trusted our DJ and he did a great job, everyone seemed to love him!

Wild Wedding: The Reception {Dance Party}

With all the formalities out of the way, it was time to party. The DJ turned it up and we had a really great time being silly all around the dance floor.

Eagerly awaiting the dance party!












Air guitar

Before it got crazy, I had to change!


I bought a cute little ivory dress for the reception. I'm so glad I did!






















I have photographic evidence that Scott was dancing to Fat Joe. LEAN BACK!


I love this picture just because I'm in hysterics over something!


















More beer?

Wild Wedding: The Reception {First Dance}

We didn't agree to a first dance song until about a month before the wedding. Nothing felt right and our musical tastes are very, very opposite. Eventually, we gave in to Jason Mraz. "I'm Yours" was the first song we slow danced to at a random beach bar (before Scott tripped over a speaker and we needed to leave, LOL). I found a difference version of "I'm Yours" online and it seemed perfect. Google tells me "I'm Yours" is really about how Jason Mraz loves Hawaii or something, but whatever, this song is still cute.

No additional words are necessary for this post. We didn't really practice our "dance" and we just went out and had fun. The pictures explain everything. They really are beautiful and capture our mood pretty well. We look so happy.

Hit Play.
