Wedding day (Part 5) in the eyes of a bride. The Evening Reception

Sorry about the delay in the next instalment of my blog, been super busy with orders.

Ok after the meal and the cake cutting. The DJ set up, the sweet table was ready and we were ready to party!!!

our sweet table, which we did by ourselves, bought the table, jars and sweets :)
Don't you just love the huge candy canes 

Tables laid out and ready for our evening guests.

Ok it was time for the first dance!!
The song started playing.... "This isn't our song" I said to Dae.
He said no, it;s not. I left it around a minute to see if he got a different version. LOL.
But I thought wait no, this can't happen. I have to say something.
So off I toddled to the DJ and politely just said this isn't our song. I then saw the right song written on a piece of paper next to him. So pointed to it and said 'THIS is our song' I think he was mortified and apologised alot.
So first dance take 2

Escuse me you're playing the wrong song!

Oh well, these things happen don't they? Our first dance song was R-Kelly - I believe I can fly. - why did we have this? because it was the first dance we ever danced to together, infact our only dance. This was back when we were 15 or 16 at a friends 18th Birthday Party. So thought it would be good to have it again.

After the dance, My mum had organised a Santa Clause :) He gave the kids of the guests some toys, and I think they enjoyed them. The girls got some smellies I think and a pair of little slippers for their aching feet. Hahaha

But the boys got mini nerf guns :) Fab idea and it kept them entertained for hours, even if they did find it funny shooting the bride. I got my own back though fear not, and shot them all!!

We also had a sing song and sang rudolf the red nose reindeer :) What a great end to a christmas wedding. x

I even busted some moves :)

No party would be a party without Robyn Thicke - blurred lines. I think my and my sis got all the women doing our dance moves :)

It wasn't over yet! The kids also got some glasses in their gifts, so me and my sister took it upon out selves to photo everyone with them on. And yes we got everyone!! Here are a few.

Debbie and Jane (in the blue is my mother in law)

My Mum and Dad, aka Sue and Dave

The hubby and his cousin Terry 

My grandma on the right and Pat her sister in law (I think)

Emily and Craig 

Dae's cousin Mike on the left and Rudy

Me and my sis Kate.

I managed to steal Dae away for a moment to sit in the fireplace :)

That was our wedding :)
Oh we did have an evening buffet too, which I didn't touch, I just ate sweets.

Thank you to everyone who came to our wedding and made it what it was.
Thanks to my mum for being a super wedding organiser, none of this would have been as good as it was if you hadn't helped and told me what was crap and what was ok to keep lol.
Thanks to Paula our hairdresser, we all looked grand :)
Thank you to Paula our photographer, she was running round like a mad woman, with so much equipment and camera's I am sure she was exhausted by the time she had finished. But she did a great job. - http://www.ollievision.co.uk/

One thing I will say though, if you are having a DJ, please do go and see them and see what they are like. I was lazy and just used in the in-house DJ, which was good as it was cheaper than what I had been quoted, however I wasn't over the moon with him, as not only did he mess up our first dance, when people asked for requests he never played them. I was only told this after the day, so couldn't do anything then. But do research DJ's or even live bands :). Do your research on all suppliers! Maybe i should blog about how to find trustworthy and decent suppliers.

Any way
THANK YOU!
