The Magical Wedding Reception!!



Posted by Picasa

Tyler and Katie had their wedding reception at Jason's parents house in their back yard. Wendy was in charge of the inside of the house and Katie's family decorated the backyard. Together it looked magical.

The inside was decorated with the flowers from the luncheon along with candles and the kids' favorite was pink and white M&M's with Tyler and Katie on them. Wendy allowed us to take home two of the flower arrangements to our house!!! They had photos of Tyler and Katie throughout the years set up on the island in a sea of black and pink satin, candles and flowers.

We all wore different outfits at night. Jason was one of Ty's groomsmen so he wore a tux (none of the tuxes fit very well for some reason, it really sucked but they still looked great!!) We convinced Hudson that yes, guys do wear pink!! Hey, Katie convinced Tyler and the groomsmen to all wear pink ties!!

Katie and Tyler had a chicken 'painting' table as one of the food items. The kids thought that was super cool. You picked out a skewer of chicken and then you could paint it with different sauces. My favorite was the buffalo! I love it hot!!!

The back yard was done in a beautiful decor of pinks and blacks with the coolest center pieces I have ever seen. They were made up of five pink flowers graduated in height in a rectangular vase with black stones it. I thought they looked really neat!

Another really cool idea they had was a big white screen set up with a camera with a remote button you could push to take photos with. People could go over to the camera at any time and take goofy photos, family photos...whatever you wanted. It was a lot of fun to play with.
One of Katie's mom's cousins does magic tricks and makes balloon animals so he made the kids all balloon animals. Of course the boys wanted swords so they could battle each other. I think they each went through several!! The girls opted for butterflies, monkeys in trees and catapillars.

All in all it was a beautiful event and in the end, Tyler and Katie were married and got to share a special day with their family and friends. It was also another reason for all four brothers to get together and spend some time together!!!

Deb, you got some really cute pictures. That picture of you and J really turned out, not trying to toot my own horn. I think you probably cropped it or something but you guys look really good and it looks like you like each other:) You got some cute pictures of my family as well, could you send me the pictures that you have that have our family in them? The one of the four boys looks so good.
