Our wedding reception seemed to disappear in a flash before my eyes. One minute we were just being introduced, the next minute we were dancing and mingling and it was almost time to leave. How did that happen?

We spent some time mingling with our guests and attempting to get to every table, which is way harder than it looks. Mr. Jaguar and I grabbed each other’s hands and made the rounds, thanking our friends and sharing our excitement.

Meanwhile our guests continued to boogie…

…and mingle with one another on the dance floor.

It was at this point that Mr. Jaguar kindly offered to go and get me a cold beverage, since we were parched from all of the schmoozing. He headed toward the bar, I began chatting with a friend…and after a while, I realised that my new hubby had been gone for some time. Where’d he go? And where was my drink? A little searching, and I found him.

Well, lookie here: a certain someone got sidetracked at the open bar. But he wasn’t alone…

Those sneaky groomsmen!

It’s OK, though. I also made my way to the bar. And why wouldn’t I when we had these babies waiting for us? Mo-straws! Made with love by my maid of honour and loved by all!

But, like all good parties, the wedding festivities were about to come to an end.
