Come Together: Wedding Reception

We planned to be at the reception as our guests arrived. An entrance during cocktail hour and being introduced as husband and wife would be nice, but I wanted to greet family & friends, take in the view, and enjoy some food and drinks as the festivities began.

Above is the family table. We opted to sit with our parents and siblings instead of a head table or couple table. It was tight seating for 10, but a good chance for our immediate family to bond and soak in the new family :)


Guests began arriving.


College friends. My favorite people.


Cousins :)




I love this photo of me and all of the little girls :)




Mom and my Titos and Titas. My mom has tons of friends, I think her friends made up a major amount of the guest list, but I was fine with that because each has been a great part of my life.




As the room filled with people, I got so excited. There was so much energy and love. It was almost time to party!!

That's so nice that you guys were there to greet your guests. And how nice that you did a family table!

We did the whole entrance thing which was fun but I kinda regret missing a decent chunk of the reception.It took so long to get all of our guests up from the cocktail hour on 3rd floor to the penthouse....I think my reception ended up starting a half hour after it was supposed to and we ended up being stuck with our wedding attendants in a conference room with no food or drink for like an hour. That was the low point of our day for sure.

Oh and I just love these pictures. Can't wait to see more!!! :)

@Chocolate Lover & tam pham: thank you!

@THE ALTERNATIVE WIFE: i was so scared i'd miss out on something that we decided to skip a big entrance and just be there. i did love your entrance and sometimes wish that we had one.
