Wedding: (part 2) THE RECEPTION

Oh man, this day was so perfect. I love thinking about how truly happy I was (and still am). Everything went perfectly. I was even early to almost everything (which was a huge surprise to me and Jordan and both our families because I am usually always late to everything!) It was literally the best day of my life.

We held our reception at The Manor at Riverwoods. Ideally I would have liked to do an outdoor reception, but in October the weather is too sketchy.  But honestly, the Manor was a perfect location to hold our reception. Because the Manor is so close to where we both grew up, we felt like the majority of the people we invited attended-it was a great turn out. The building itself is gorgeous, it was a great location.

Looking back, the only thing I would have changed is having a longer reception, CRAZY I know! I thought two hours would have been enough time, but I wish it would have lasted just a half hour longer to hang out and visit after the receiving line and lets be honest, I didn't want the day to end. After our reception Jordan and I spent the night in salt lake at THE LITTLE AMERICA before catching a plane to HAWAII. (a honeymoon post will becoming shortly).

I know I keep saying this day was perfect and amazing, blah, blah, blah, I know, I sound so cheesy! But, honestly I can't explain this day any other way. It was the best day of my life. So for now- enjoy the cheesiness!
