Party Time!

Okay... Blogger is not being very cooperative with me on this wedding post! I think I am trying to add too many pictures all at once. Executive decision... I am going to have to split this post in two parts or maybe three... I won't know until I'm done I guess! There are just so many great memories from this great day, I don't want to leave any of them out!

Therefore, this post is dedicated to just the RECEPTION! I know it will seem out of order to do this one first but in the end, it will read better on the blog.

Jeff and Julie's reception at the Las Vegas Country Club was absolutely gorgeous! What a setting for a fabulously fun night! I loved how well thought out all of the details were... the flowers, the dances, the way the traditional wedding events flowed... and mostly the playlist! Oh my, I have never danced so much in my life! And so did just about everyone in the crowd! It was awesome... I mean, really, how many more times are we going to get to do this??? We've got one next year but then we are waiting on the next generation... Katie? Timmy? Patrick?

The flower girls loved that they didn't have to sit with mommy and daddy for the reception. They felt so grown up.
"See ya later Mommy and Daddy!"

Courtney and Jesse ...

Jill and fiance Nick...

The bride and groom share their first dance!

Look at how gorgeous these two are!

The speeches were so enjoyable to listen to...

Steve, Joe, and Jill did a great job! I loved that I got to sit so close to Jeff and Julie through the speeches to hear their laughter and sighs and all the meaningful words and stories!

Now, this is when I was giving Dr. Gephardt some last words of advice before his big speech! Haha, just kidding... I just didn't have any good pictures of his speech but I didn't want to leave it out of the post!

Best Friends and sisters... it is so fun to watch Julie and Jill together! I hope Ryan and Charlie will be like them!

Hanging out with my man!

The RFer Crew never disappoints a crowd... I heard a rumor that the bride and groom hired this bunch of nutty couples to entertain the wedding guests! LOL... did anyone else hear that rumor?

The Father/Daughter Dance totally brought tears to my eyes.

Watching Jeff during this dance, I could see how special the Mother/Son Dance was to him.

I loved getting to know these girls over the weekend! Such fun girls to hang out with! Julie has a fantastic family!

Mr. and Mrs. Grace... oops... right names, wrong combination!

Oh, the dancing I LOVED... oops, did I say that already??? Like 5 times already I think!

Jeff getting his groove on... "Apple bottom jeans, boots with the fur" must have been playing! :)

Grant and Kara enjoying the party!

I have to say, these two are great photographers! Kara sent me a CD of all the pics that they snapped during the day and night. I stole so many for this blog post! Thank you guys so much... you got Wayyyyy better pictures than I did!

Hurting feet always equal a great party! Well done! It will be a memory that remain in tact forever!
