Eleven Twenty Five Eleven: We sober up.

Just kidding! Neither of us were drunk anyway. This is actually a good place to plug water drinking during your wedding; IT'S IMPORTANT!! I was more sore and dehydrated the next day than anything else. When you're so excited and moving around so much, there's really not much of a chance that you're going to get hammered unless you're really trying, like, really hard.

Anyway, way to ruin that joke. Moving on! As I mentioned last week, Ben took us outside after the reception for some nighttime shots. Turns out Riverdale has an adorable little gazebo outside. But don't take my word for it:

Most of these pictures obviously look exactly the same. But I just put them all in anyway (actually this isn't even all of them. I took out ones where we were making funny faces)

I think they're all pretty sweet because of the colors and the setting and the lighting.

We just talked and danced and then got a little fancy. Kyle's a great dipper and twirler!

I do have to be a little conceited and say I love the detail in the dress. That's part of the reason I like looking at these photos. But it's mostly how sweet they are :D

And I'm going "Whoa, I'm dizzy!" Should have drank more water!

So then Ben turns his lights up to 'stadium setting' or something and I'm not 100% sold on it. I do like how bright the contrast is between the white gazebo and the black sky around us, but I I think I preferred those more muted colors above.

Finally, we moved back inside to the farmhouse for some cute rustic shots in there.

These are some of Kyle's favorites.

I edited this one to make it feel more modern. I think our feet on the ground looked awkward, so I gave this one a 'the focal point is in an odd place' thing. Who says the couple always has to be right in the middle of the field of view? Shake things up a bit! I love this picture better for it.

And now, the end is near, and so I face the final curtain! Yup, this is the last group of pictures from the reception. Enjoy!!!

It's only in hindsight that I realize my kids are going to look at these some day...

It wasn't until the next day that I realized dancing like a fool is going to hurt the next day!

Obviously, I did not care at the time...

Really??

Well thank goodness that's over with.

Love the mother/son dance and I love this picture of Kyle's mom's neighbors. They're good people, it's a super sweet pic.

Ha, cute face↑ (sarcastic). Tangoing with the cousins... Actually cute

Tangoing with the DJ... kinda' sweet.

Dancing by yourself because you're a huge nerd and everyone left you alone on the dance floor... Priceless.

Just let that freak flag fly, Girl!

This was when My Way came on and everyone knew it was almost time to say goodnight.

I was kind of upset knowing that it was over, but at the same time, I knew it was late, it felt late, and I knew that we would be continuing the party at the hotel anyway! So who cares?!

The place started to clear out pretty fantastically, but Kyle and I still only had eyes for each other. And we were indeed the last ones there.
