We were running a little behind at the church, and then we got LOST on the way to the reception so we didn’t get to the reception venue until about 35 minutes into the cocktail hour. My photographer, along with his assistant for the day, Scott McQuarrie, got to the reception a good 20 minutes before us and, lucky for me, they decided to make good use of their time! I’m almost glad we were late because they got some of these great candid shots of everyone during the cocktail hour.

This is actually from the church (hmm… maybe the pews give it away?). My baby brother was waiting while we were getting pictures with my parents in the church.

Back at the reception site, it looks like the kids had no trouble finding the candy buffet! I think they have radar for that kind of stuff.

I really love this picture of my father-in-law. The face he’s making is so “him.” He’s a retired math professor and has a very dry wit. It looks like he’s thinking “Get that camera out of my face. Aren’t you supposed to be taking pictures of the bride?”

Another one of Mr. Radish’s nephews enjoying some candy. He’s a handsome little devil. He was supposed to be in the wedding, but there was a miscommunication with his parents so it didn’t work out. Too bad.

Our best man… looking sharp! I’m loving his boutonnière, too. My sister made them for us using some silk anemone’s from Paper Source with some shimmery ribbon I got from the Marta Stewart line at Michael’s.

My Grandma! She’s the cutest.

My uncle with his date.

My mother with her two brothers, also known as my uncles.

Mr. Radish arriving with his new brother-in-law close behind.

Here I come (finally!) with my entourage.

Actually, it just looks like I have an entourage. The only person actually “with” me is my friend in the brown dress who drove us to the reception. The other girls are just friends of mine who were mingling in the background. But it seems much cooler to have an “entourage.” It looks like some paparazzi might jump out of the bushes any second!

Well, that concludes this episode. Up next in the Radish wedding saga - our “grand” entrance.
