The Reception

Have I ever told you that my husband is a genius?  Well, he is.  He successfully performed a hard drive transplant and was able to save everything on our old computer.  So much love.

I have a million pictures to share, so let's get started.  We flew out to Utah to see Jeff's youngest brother, Brian, get married to Mani.  They had their reception the night before the wedding, which made the wedding day much less stressful.  Somehow I neglected to get a picture of Mani at the reception.  I also had a hard time getting pictures in focus in the low lighting.  It was good practice, though.  (For when I'm hired to take pictures at a rave or a haunted house.  Yeah, I don't know what I'm saying.)

See how he's so in love with me?  I told you he was a genius.

I knew I'd better get a shot of Harrison at the beginning of the reception when he was handsome and happy.

Here he is by the end.  "Check, please!"

Miles immediately recognized Brian as "the uncle who picks you up and throws you around."

I don't think I've ever seen three happier princesses.  I have a thousand pictures just of them, but that will have to wait.

Here all the single ladies are waiting for Mani to throw the bouquet.  I got the impression that Brian and Mani were some of the first of their friends to get married.  I could tell because there was actually a crowd of ladies excited about catching the bouquet. 

The bouquet landed on one of the ceiling draperies.  It was the funniest thing, ever.

I know this isn't a very good picture technically speaking, but I really like it.  It's so my parents.

Kids love weddings.

Jeff's sister, Amy.  My parents are still talking about how stunning she was that night.

Jeff's brother, Ted, and his wife Aubrie.  It was nice to sit and chat while the kids ran around screaming.

Here Jeff and Ted are giving Brian advice about his wedding night.

Thanks for giving us a reason to dress up and eat cake, Brian and Mani!
