| Our Wedding | The Reception Begins

After the official photos were done, it was finally time for the celebration to begin with our family and friends!

Our bridal party was introduced first, and then finally our official introduction as husband and wife. We knew we wanted to kick off our reception right away with our first dance. We had been to so many weddings where that first dance was put off and the special moment wasn't recognized the way it should have been by the guests. So first dance was at the top of our reception list!

As soon as we got engaged, Cody knew right away what he wanted our first dance song to be and I completely trusted him in that. It was perfect and beautiful, and fit our relationship perfectly - "Look at Me" by Alan Jackson. One of my favorite moments from the whole day.





 

 

 

  After our first dance, we knew our guests' tummies would be rumbling! So after Cody said a beautiful prayer, it was time to eat. The food was just as delicious as we remembered from our tasting, but my dress was waaaay too tight for me to sit and actually eat! We enjoyed it the best we could before we started mingling with our loved ones. :)
