Wedding pictures: part 6

The dinner party

 

After our two-hour reception, our guests went downstairs for dinner. My mom and I made a table chart so everyone could check for themselves where they were seated. We didn't want the names of our guests to be called out, because we'd heard that a lot of singles dislike being reminded of the fact that they don't have a +1. Plus, we thought it was way too formal. As you may remember from this post, we were inspired by our honeymoon to New York, so we used it as the theme for our seating chart.

 

 

Really pleased with how our centerpieces turned out.

 We made our menus to match our invitations and table name cards.

When our guests were seated, Klaas and I came in. I felt sooo uncomfortable, with everyone staring at me. Luckily, Klaas was feeling VERY happy and claimed most of the attention.

Then it was time for our maid of honor and best man's speech. Seeing these pictures makes me want to watch the video again.

Klaas got sentimental...

 

We didn't feel comfortable choosing one dish that would have to satisfy 65 people, so we opted to have a buffet for every course. We had some pretty picky eaters at our wedding, so this way there was lots of different food to choose from.
 

The entrées

 

After the entrée, Klaas's mom gave a little speech (it was a poem about colors) and my brand new stepfather-in-law played us a tune on his harmonica.

After that, it was time for the main course. It was amazing, if I do say so myself.

 

My dad playing a prank on the in-laws...

 

After the main course, we had a dessert buffet. First, however, Klaas and I got to cut our ice cream cake. It was sooo delicious, but we had a hard time cutting it as it was a bit too frozen...

 

See, we're still cutting...
Also, how great do I look in this picture? I'm thinking I should have a purple light behind my head at all times.

STILL CUTTING!!!

Finally made it through that cake. ^^

 

Being the goofballs we are.
