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:
Our table arrangements:
After dinner and speeches from our family, we made our way inside the O’Donnell house for the cake cutting. The quilt pictured behind us was made by my aunt, featuring squares designed by guests prior to the big day.
Here Mr. Peppermint does an impromptu speech:
We feed each other cake (SOOO good!):
We stationed our wonderful band inside the house for the dancing…
Our first dance:
Cheers!
