The Big Day: Reception

June 2nd, 2008 @ 4:43 pm by Mrs. Peppermint

Sorry for the delay in posting these–things have been hectic at the Peppermint household! To catch you back up, here we are at the reception of our December wedding…After formals were taken, Mr. Peppermint and I joined our guests on the patio for cocktail hour (our cocktail of choice was Pimms–yum!). Originally, we had planned for it to be all outdoors, but because of the weather, we ended up getting a tent. All in all, it worked out quite well (and was much warmer!).

Here we greet guests after our formals:

Here Mr. Peppermint does an impromptu speech:
