Passport To Love: Light It Up

August 22nd, 2011 @ 1:32 pm by Mrs. Elephant

We were so excited for our sparkler grand exit!!! It was something that we did not think would happened, but as luck would have it our venue changed their policy and it lit up our night.

The sparklers were set up along with our remaining bottles of water. Our guests must have danced up a thirst because there were no bottles left on our way out.

Due to our delay in starting our private last dance (some guests were helping themselves to our table names and extra chocolates) and the high wind, our guests had to light the sparklers twice. Maybe we should have purchased longer ones like Mrs. Buttons.

And away we go!

We circled the building and were about to head upstairs before Mr. E reminded us to get some pictures for our thank you cards.

We headed up to our suite, popped some champagne and ate some of our cake that we didn’t really get to enjoy at the reception.

Trying to stretch out my time on Weddingbee, I have a couple of posts still up my sleeve. Next up: our morning after brunch.

Will you have anything special for your send off?

Sigh…love sparklers! I’m sorry that the short ones didn’t work out as well. My friend used the short ones at her wedding and the pictures were just a bunch of smoke…I felt so bad for her! It does look like your photog was able to capture a bunch of sparkle with yours though - so pretty and fun!

This send-off is really great. Those sparklers are such a great idea. And I really love the thank you photo. That will make great cards.
