Well, after the getting ready and ceremony, I guess this means we're at the reception.
People were greeted in the front with these lovely nameplates. After seeing them in one of my favorite wedding magazine, southern weddings, my mommy and mother in law made them and blessed me with them. As well, since my hubby and I are World of Warcraft fans, we decided to name the tables after different worlds in WOW, only the pretty names of course. <3
Blue and Green are Alex's favorite color so I wanted to incorporate that into the theme.
Since Alex is a MAJOR music lover, I wanted him to pick the song for our first dance, I swear he is the best song picker ever, we danced to This is the First Day of My Life by Bright Eyes.
First time I saw this pictures it brought tears to my eyes. Just the look on my dads face says so much. I picked out our perfect Father Daughter song, There Goes My Life by Kenny Chesney.
Alex and his mom, Susana, danced to Josh Groban's, You Raise Me Up.
Our flower girl, Sophia, went to go take Susana a tissue <3
After the best man and maid of honor speech
The birds on top of the cake holds a sentimental value. When Alex's grandfather was alive, he would buy his wife, Alex's grandma gifts with birds and called each other the love birds. Before our wedding, his grandmother gave us this musical bird as a gift, so we decided to put it as our cake toppers. <3
The original cake toppers
The end <3
PS. If you're interested in hearing the songs, here ya go:
