wedding reception in usa (part 1)

We had the reception at the same place where we got married, right next to the old tree in a historic inn's reception hall.  Most of the floating tissue pompoms were made by Lawrance (we used these directions to make them).

The above photo was taken in the afternoon before the ceremony started.  The one below was taken during the reception.  I love all the twinkle lights!

our wedding reception in the states Our Taiwanese marriage covenant ceremony is less than 19 days away. So, I thought I should finish up writing about our American wedding before the Taiwanese one happens. Therefore this week will be full of posts about the various special moments from our American wedding reception. We had a blast, and we enjoyed every minute. Also, I just wanted to offer . . . if you have any questions about the reception or wedding in America or about the upcoming Taiwanese ceremony and banquet ask those questions here on this post, and I will try to answer them either later this week or next week. ____ Here is a tiny preview of what's to come this week . . . Don't you just LOVE all that color? We wanted it to be a joyful, happy celebration . . . and that's what we got!! :) ____ I only have three "regrets" in regards to the reception . . . (1) we didn't get a chance to tell everyone thank you for coming. We ended up leaving earlier than planned because most of the guests needed to drive an hour or more to get home, and they were wanting to get home before it got too late. So, we didn't get a chance to get to every table to say thanks. ___ (2) we never played our "game" that my PawPaw made for me. We didn't have a DJ, and I didn't exactly give the best directions to the person I asked to help with the game, so it just never happened. And, it just makes me kinda sad that my grandfather spent time and money to make this awesome game that never got to be played. ___ (3) and, last but not least, I wish our "guest book" (photo mat) had been either announced or in a better location, not even half of the guests signed it. :( I made my dad and brother sign it later after we got back from the honeymoon.

wedding reception in usa (part 2) alternate title: special moments with the men in my life Oh, my PawPaw . . . I love this man. My grandfather is OH SO special to me. One of the greatest men I've ever met. ___ The new Wu's first dance. We danced to "Someone Like You" by Van Morrison. The only reason we danced was because Lawrance wanted to dance on his wedding day. Dancing with my daddy. We danced to "I Loved Her First" by Heartland. I cried . . .again. __ I also got to dance with Sam, my younger brother. He needed to leave a bit early, so right after cutting the cake he asked for a dance before he needed to go; I was happy to oblige. :) He is so sweet, and he is turning into a great young man! ___ And, last but not least, my nephew, "caught" the garter (with a bit of help from his daddy).
