We walked out of the ceremony and back into the banquet hall and as each bridesmaid/groomsmen came in, there were more and more hugs and laughter.
We headed back into the “getting ready” room and I lifted my skirt half way up my thigh and sat on the floor to try and cool off. I’m not exactly sure where they came from, but someone handed me a beer… oh what a glorious feeling… the cold beer… it was amazing :)
J had not seen my garter yet, so he sat down next to me and I showed him…. he loved it (pictures to come later), and when it was time to take it off, J had a little help… from our ring bearer.
We waited for the guests to get their escort cards and get into the reception so we sat and talked and laughed. As the wedding party planned their entrances into the reception, I took a second to laugh with the ring bearer… one of my favorite pictures of the day from my bridesmaid Cori…
The DJ (who was awesome, just in case you hadn’t read that yet) kept bringing us beers so we had plenty of refreshments. As we were waiting, someone decided it would be a good time to talk about their connection with J and/or me. People told fun stories and we enjoyed our time together with our friends and family before we had to go talk with the other 200 guests at the wedding.
I had to take a quick bathroom break, with the assistance of 2 bridesmaids to hold my dress up, and get my dress bustled before we headed out…
